Episode Details

In this "From the Vault" episode, Allen Sircy enters the shadowy world of late 19th-century Chicago, where Dr. Mabel Jackman became a commanding force in the city's spiritualist movement. From her North Clark Street boardinghouse, the self-proclaimed "Shepherdess of Paradise" hosted mystical gatherings and séances for a devoted flock—until prominent physician Dr. Alfred J. Cole became entangled in a ruinous financial scheme led by two shadowy grifters. Facing scandalous accusations of hypnotic manipulation and spiritual coercion, Dr. Jackman's empire began to unravel, igniting decades of legal battles that reached from opulent drawing rooms to the eerie confines of the notorious House of Seven Bathrooms. Tune in as we uncover the enigmatic saga of Dr. Mabel Jackman, where séances, greed, and alleged mind control collided in the heart of Gilded Age Chicago.
