Houdini Halloween Countdown: The Houdini Seances

description


When the infamous Houdini died on Halloween, 1926 seances started taking place every year since…why did this start?

Houdini was devastated when his mother died and tried to reach her through spiritualists who tried to trick him. This angered him so much he spent the rest of his life testing and debunking spiritualists who claimed to communicate with the dead. But Houdini still held out hope that it was possible and devised a coded message he’d relay to his wife after his death. Only Bess Houdini knew the code which was impossible for anyone else to know.

When Houdini died, hundreds of spiritual mediums claimed to receive messages from Houdini, but Bess knew the code, and none of the messages was correct. Bess offered a $10,000 prize for the medium that could deliver the coded message, but none was correct.

Arthur Ford, a spiritualist pastor from New York City, performed a séance with Bess and his congregation, and received a message. Bess was stunned. Beyond any doubt, it was the coded message from Houdini.
What was the message?
