Travels by Carriage

Season 2 Episode 2

Do you believe in psychics? Perhaps some of you identify as a psychic yourself or have visited one. I personally believe there are those with knowledge that can’t be explained, and history is full of bold and unusual claims. Some of them are even true. For this episode, we’ll visit a time in history when that was the case - when the claims of one psychic medium were proven to be correct.  **SPOILERS BELOW THIS POINT** Sources:: * Travels by Carriage Logo * https://www.mockofun.com/ [https://www.mockofun.com/] * Psychic Sleuths Invoke Spirited Debate.
