The Ghost of Thomas Lacey
A project exploring seances conducted in 1960s Kitchener by a mysterious medium. The University of Waterloo Special Collections and Archives has over 150 audio reels of the seances. This audio documentary follows Erin MacIndoe Sproule and Rebecca Swabey on a journey to learn more about the origins of the tapes and what we can learn from them about contact with the spirit world. You can find a sample, Part 1 and Part 2 of the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Soundcloud, Google Play, Stitcher and TuneIn.
