Description
John King was one of the most powerful spirits to surface in nineteenth-century spiritualist seances. As the father of spirit Katie King, he figured in one of the biggest scandals of the 1870s involving the US Congressman Robert Dale Owen. He was also the familiar spirit of Helena Blavatsky. In this episode, we track the history of spirit materializations and ask whether John King could be the spirit of the privateer Henry Morgan.
