Harry Houdini and the Afterlife

Harry Houdini is best known as the greatest magician and escape artist of all time. But after the death of his mother, Harry began his search into what happens when we die and how to contact the dead. As part of his search, he made a promise to contact the people he trusted most with a secret code to let them know that there is more to life after we die.

Holmes built the "castle" to lure unsuspecting Fair goers to their deaths in order to sell their skeletons to medical schools, others would say that he built it so he could collect insurance money, and some believe it to be nothing but an elaborate tale in order to sell newspapers. Either way, Holmes left quite the legacy and possibly a couple of spirits as well.
