Harry price & The Seance of Rosalie

Published: Sept. 15, 2019, 5:34 p.m.

b"On a cold December night of 1937, renowned Psychical Investigator Harry Price strode up the steps outside a large, Victorian house in a quiet, well-to-do London suburb. He\\u2019d come to the house to partake in a s\\xe9ance, invited by a woman known only as Mrs X whom in their communications leading up to the night, had guaranteed a spirit manifestation for him. Price had seen it all before, he had crafted a career from debunking such fraudsters and in all likelihood, this event was to be much the same. Or was it? What unravelled that night has been the subject of fierce debate and deep research for over 80 years and still to this day, it leaves a web of tangled leads the likes of which any Hollywood scriptwriter could only dream of conjuring.\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\nSOURCES:\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\nPrice, H.
