Speaker 1: You're listening to the fourth and final part of Unexplained,
Speaker 1: Season seven, episode eighteen, A Dance with Mister d John
Speaker 1: d stood by the barge's rail as it drifted slowly
Speaker 1: around a bend in the River Thames, soaking up a
Speaker 1: last lingering view of his beloved Mortlake House and library.
Speaker 1: It was late September fifteen eighty three, and Dee, along
Speaker 1: with his wife Jane and their children, and his scrier
Speaker 1: Edward Kelly and his wife Joanna, was on his way
Speaker 1: to Europe. It was hard to leave his home, and
Speaker 1: it wasn't just the books, rare artifacts and laboratory equipment
Speaker 1: he had to leave behind. The home contained significant and
Speaker 1: treasured memories. It was where his children were born, the
Speaker 1: Queen had visited him there, and it was where his
Speaker 1: mother had died. But more important than any of that,
Speaker 1: it was where he and Edward Kelly communed with angels,
Speaker 1: and they were on a roll. Stopping now risked ruining
Speaker 1: all hope of completing his investigation of the angels and
Speaker 1: Nokian language and unlocking the secrets of the universe. For
Speaker 1: all he knew, leaving Mortlake could mean severing all contact
Speaker 1: with the other side, but In the end, D felt
Speaker 1: he had no choice, and Kelly was quick to reassure
Speaker 1: him that all would be well. Only a few months before,
Speaker 1: D and Kelly delivered news from the angels to post
Speaker 1: Prince Albert Laski that he would soon be crowned King
Speaker 1: of Poland. Shortly after that, D received the dire warning
Speaker 1: from the spirit child Madimi that his life was in
Speaker 1: immediate danger. After telling Prince Laski all about it, the Prince,
Speaker 1: still glowing from his own more optimistic prophecy, proposed a solution.
Speaker 1: D should return with him to Poland, where he would
Speaker 1: look after him for the foreseeable future. And so one night,
Speaker 1: under cover of darkness, D and the rest of his
Speaker 1: group took off from Mortlake with the Prince. They sailed
Speaker 1: through all of London, past its many mullioned windows, the
Speaker 1: Tower of London, and under the narrow arches of London Bridge,
Speaker 1: piled high with houses. The smell of smoke from chimneys
Speaker 1: drifted over the river, and sounds of laughter spilled from
Speaker 1: taverns before fading as the boat slipped away downstream. As
Speaker 1: night blended into dawn and a dull red sun rose
Speaker 1: up over the horizon, they arrived at the coast. From there,
Speaker 1: the travelers boarded a faster vessel and set off in
Speaker 1: light winds towards the low countries of Europe, but the
Speaker 1: gentle weather didn't hold. By midnight, it had become so
Speaker 1: stormy their boat was driven back to England. Forced to
Speaker 1: abandon ship, Dee slipped and fell into the deep, stinking
Speaker 1: estuarine mud as he and the others made their way
Speaker 1: to shore. Like the players in an ill fated Shakespearean drama,
Speaker 1: they waited four days for the storm to die down
Speaker 1: before reboarding the ship. On September twenty eighth, they finally
Speaker 1: reached mainland Europe, where they promptly hired wagons and set
Speaker 1: off for Poland. All safe and sound for now. John
Speaker 1: D's traveling party, minus Prince Laski, who had business to
Speaker 1: attend to elsewhere, made tortuously slow progress across Europe, but
Speaker 1: D was happy despite leaving England. The communications with the
Speaker 1: angels continued unabated most nights. As they trekked deeper into
Speaker 1: the continent, D and Kelly consulted the spiritual beings. Some
Speaker 1: of Kelly's apparent visions were disturbing, however, including predictions that
Speaker 1: D's Mortlake home would burn to the ground, and that
Speaker 1: D's wife Jane would die horribly. Back in Mortlake, around
Speaker 1: the same time, a group of scholars broke into D's house.
Speaker 1: They didn't burn it down, but they did ransack his library,
Speaker 1: taking hundreds of his most treasured books and other possessions.
Speaker 1: It didn't bode well for Jane, but Kelly also delivered
Speaker 1: to D what he described as the Kabbala of Nature,
Speaker 1: a long stream of so called divine data. D was ecstatic.
Speaker 1: It felt as though they were only months away from
Speaker 1: discovering God's own blueprint for the universe. Day after day,
Speaker 1: the traveler's temporary lodging rooms were filled with the feverish
Speaker 1: scratchings of D's quill, racing to record Kelly's supposed transmissions.
Speaker 1: D would then spend more long hours collating them with
Speaker 1: his notes from previous seances in an attempt to assemble
Speaker 1: what he now saw as an apparent cosmic code that
Speaker 1: was coming from the Garden of Eden and written in
Speaker 1: the language of Adam, just one remove from God themself.
Speaker 1: After five grueling months of travel, encountering floods, blizzards, and
Speaker 1: storms along the way, D's party arrived in Krakoff, the
Speaker 1: then capital city of Poland. For the while, Kelly continued
Speaker 1: to pour forth alleged angelic formulas, but then in mid April,
Speaker 1: Kelly announced he would cease communicating with the angels altogether.
Speaker 1: He became suddenly despondent and even discredited some of his
Speaker 1: own visions, claiming that malicious spirits were playing tricks on him.
Speaker 1: One night, whilst crying with Kelly and Prince Laski, D
Speaker 1: received angelic instructions that he should go and see the
Speaker 1: Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph the Second in Prague, but D
Speaker 1: was reluctant. All around him in Poland, violence had erupted
Speaker 1: in the streets when Polish military commander Samuel Sparrowsky, a
Speaker 1: popular member of the Polish nobility and affiliate of Prince Laski's,
Speaker 1: was executed. Barovsky had been accused of plotting to kill
Speaker 1: the King of Poland, Stephan Barttori. D was beginning to
Speaker 1: wander if his own association with Prince Laski, who had
Speaker 1: ambitions to take the throne, put him and his family's
Speaker 1: lives in danger. Then D's son Rowland, fell gravely ill
Speaker 1: and almost died a few days later, as D and
Speaker 1: Kelly conducted another seance, Kelly claimed to receive an angry
Speaker 1: message from the angels. They said that D's son's illness
Speaker 1: was a punishment for not heeding their original command, and
Speaker 1: so on the first of August fifteen eighty, D and
Speaker 1: Kelly set out for Prague. On arrival in Prague, the
Speaker 1: capital of what was then Bohemia and the larger Holy
Speaker 1: Roman Empire, its medieval streets intrigued D and Kelly. It
Speaker 1: was a city bursting with classic Bohemian charm, the buildings
Speaker 1: covered with mysterious stone carvings, their walls painted with strange dioramas.
Speaker 1: Taverns with names like the Unicorn, the Blue Star, and
Speaker 1: the Vulture lined the endless labyrinthine alleyways. They soon found
Speaker 1: lodgings with the Emperor Rudolph's physician, the Dais Hyak, who
Speaker 1: also happened to be Central Europe's foremost astronomer. D hit
Speaker 1: it off with Hyek immediately, who invited him and Kelly
Speaker 1: to use his study to continue their scrying. Those seances
Speaker 1: produced a series of intense apocalyptic visions. The spirit Medimi
Speaker 1: appeared once more with another dire warning for D. Satan
Speaker 1: himself was intent on destroying him and his family if
Speaker 1: they didn't relocate to Prague immediately. She also told him
Speaker 1: that he must tell the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph the
Speaker 1: Second that an angel of the Lord had rebuked him
Speaker 1: for his sins. Doing such a thing would risk the
Speaker 1: wrath and outrage of one of the most powerful people
Speaker 1: in the world, but with the recent near fatal illness
Speaker 1: of his son still fresh in his mind, D felt
Speaker 1: he had no choice but to oblige or else risk
Speaker 1: further retribution from the angels, and so after some careful
Speaker 1: worded letters, D secured an audience with the emperor. After
Speaker 1: being met by his chamberlain, a nervous and trembling D
Speaker 1: was led through the twists and turns of the emperor's
Speaker 1: elaborate palace. Much like Kublai Khan's stately pleasuredome, it was
Speaker 1: a place of wonders, full of curiosities, including narwal bones,
Speaker 1: a mandrake root in the shape of a man, the
Speaker 1: dried remains of a dragon, along with works of fine art,
Speaker 1: and an extensive library. The emperor even had an African
Speaker 1: lion that he kept outside, whose roars echoed across the
Speaker 1: palace precincts all day long. Finally, D was led into
Speaker 1: the Emperor's inner sanctum, where he found Rudolph waiting for him.
Speaker 1: Taking a deep breath, he delivered the unpalatable message. Just
Speaker 1: as the angels had demanded my grace, the angel of
Speaker 1: the Lord Hath appeared to me and rebuked you for
Speaker 1: your sins. He said, if you'll forsake your wickedness and
Speaker 1: turn into him, your seat shall be the greatest that
Speaker 1: ever was. The entire court was stunned by his impertinence.
Speaker 1: The Emperor stared at Dee in silence as D's forehead
Speaker 1: began to beat with sweat. Rudolph was a stout man
Speaker 1: who looked even larger in his padded doublet and pantaloons.
Speaker 1: Though D didn't know this, it was said that he
Speaker 1: had a succession of mistresses, several illegitimate children, affairs with
Speaker 1: his head butler, and several of his valets. Perhaps it
Speaker 1: was all that that played on his mind during those
Speaker 1: endless seconds of silence, for rather than get angry, he
Speaker 1: agreed that on balance, the rebuke was probably deserved and
Speaker 1: that atonement was needed. D was enthusiastically accepted into the
Speaker 1: Emperor's court circle, and the Emperor offered to do whatever
Speaker 1: he could to support him financially. After a few months
Speaker 1: in Prague, D and Kelly returned to Krakoff, where they
Speaker 1: resumed their seances with the Angels. Germanico Maluspina, an ambassador
Speaker 1: for the Pope, arrived in the city about the same time.
Speaker 1: Malaspina saw D and Kelly at best as inconvenient foreigners,
Speaker 1: but at worst a dangerous influence on the Holy Roman
Speaker 1: Emperor's court. In May fifteen eighty five, D learned that
Speaker 1: Malaspina had presented Emperor Rudolph with evidence that D had
Speaker 1: been involved in necromancy and other prohibited arts. The following day,
Speaker 1: D received a decree he'd been banished by Rudolph from
Speaker 1: all of Bohemia. Luckily, the banishment didn't last long. After
Speaker 1: four months hauled up in Germany, D and Kelly were
Speaker 1: permitted to return to Bohemia, after which they were invited
Speaker 1: to stay at Trebonne Castle, one hundred miles south of Prague,
Speaker 1: home of Villam Rosenberg, Bohemia's most powerful and wealthy nobleman
Speaker 1: and one of Europe's most enthusiastic patrons of al chemical research.
Speaker 1: The Renaissance style castle boasted tall white walls, numerous towers
Speaker 1: and turrets, and sat in the middle of lush meadows
Speaker 1: and fish ponds. And from the back of it, thick
Speaker 1: plumes of black smoke rose up into the air, come
Speaker 1: from several silver mines that Rosenburg had opened after vast
Speaker 1: quantities of the precious metal were discovered on his land.
Speaker 1: The mines were making Rosenburg rich, but he wanted more.
Speaker 1: With the help of John d Edward Kelly, and the
Speaker 1: supposed angels, Rosenburg embarked on a systematic alchemical quest to
Speaker 1: turn base metals into gold. Rosenburg built a laboratory for
Speaker 1: the two men, who spent the next few years pursuing
Speaker 1: this quest. For months, d and Kelly worked together, experimenting
Speaker 1: with all manner of formulations, involving combinations of salts, rare earths,
Speaker 1: horse manure, and even menstrual blood. At some point, Kelly
Speaker 1: revealed to D that, with the help of the angels,
Speaker 1: he'd finally cracked the secret of the Philosopher's He called
Speaker 1: D over to his station so he could witness it
Speaker 1: for himself. D watched as Kelly took a small pinch
Speaker 1: of an unidentified red powder, supposedly a portion of the
Speaker 1: Philosopher's stone, then dropped it into a crucible containing one
Speaker 1: and a quarter ounces of mercury. D watched wide eyed
Speaker 1: as the elements began to melt and fuse together, until
Speaker 1: a dull yellow substance began to form liquid gold. From
Speaker 1: that day forward, everything had changed. Rumors of Kelly's alchemical
Speaker 1: prowess spread fast. By the time this story had reached
Speaker 1: the English court, it was said that one ounce of
Speaker 1: Kelly's magic powder could produce almost two hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: thousand ounces of gold. Edward Kelly acted fast on capitalizing
Speaker 1: on his apparent alchemical skills. His wealth and fame began
Speaker 1: to grow, while his reliance on John d began to diminish.
Speaker 1: In early fifteen eighty seven, Kelly told D that he'd
Speaker 1: received word from the angels that his scrying powers were
Speaker 1: no longer needed, and that they'd passed them on to
Speaker 1: D's seven year old son, Arthur instead. A little confused
Speaker 1: by the sudden turn of events, D nonetheless persevered with Arthur,
Speaker 1: but after two weeks it was clear that his young
Speaker 1: son hadn't been endowed with any kind of supernatural talent.
Speaker 1: At all. D pleaded for Kelly to return, much to
Speaker 1: his delight, two weeks later he did. It was only
Speaker 1: a few days after that that D and Kelly were
Speaker 1: once more gathered around a crystal ball under candlelight. After
Speaker 1: a series of incantations, Kelly claimed to see the young
Speaker 1: child figure of Medemi appear again in the glass. The
Speaker 1: girl was wearing a cloak he sat, and she was
Speaker 1: pulling it to one side, revealing a naked body underneath.
Speaker 1: Then she began to speak. D hurriedly wrote it down
Speaker 1: as Kelly relayed her message, he who commits adultery because
Speaker 1: of me, let him be blessed for eternity and receive
Speaker 1: the heavenly prize. Kelly appeared repulsed by the instruction and
Speaker 1: what had it meant exactly anyway? Adultery with whom D
Speaker 1: and Kelly agreed to forget it, But as the seances continued,
Speaker 1: the supposed Medeemi he continue to deliver the same message
Speaker 1: in varying formats. In a later session, Kelly claimed to
Speaker 1: see the heads of himself and his wife Joanna, and
Speaker 1: D and his wife Jane on some kind of pillar
Speaker 1: while Medemi performed a ceremony involving the grafting of tree
Speaker 1: branches together. He told D that this indicated that the
Speaker 1: four of them were to be similarly united. D nodded cautiously, Perhaps,
Speaker 1: he wondered it meant they were to be united in
Speaker 1: a godly Christian sense, but Kelly was adamant Medeemi was
Speaker 1: in fact suggesting that they have sex with each other's wives.
Speaker 1: With his complete trust in Edward Kelly and the words
Speaker 1: of the Angels, John D relayed this latest instruction to
Speaker 1: his wife. Jane was utterly appalled and flat out refused,
Speaker 1: believing that something must have been lost in translation. Later
Speaker 1: that night, while D and Kelly conducted another seance, Kelly
Speaker 1: once again made contact with Medemi. His mouth dropped in horror.
Speaker 1: What is it, asked D. Kelly turned to D and
Speaker 1: explained sombrely that Medemi had just informed him that both
Speaker 1: England and Queen Elizabeth would be destroyed, and that D
Speaker 1: would be pursued by the Catholic Church for heresy if
Speaker 1: they didn't carry out the adulterous ceremony as instructed. It
Speaker 1: was some time around two in the morning when John
Speaker 1: D broke the news to Jane. Jane shook uncontrollably and
Speaker 1: wept loudly, berating her husband for his unconscionable demand. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: in Kelly's bedchamber, his wife, Joanna was similarly outraged. Kelly
Speaker 1: had married Joanna Cooper during the early days of his
Speaker 1: tenure in D's Mortlake house. Around the spring of fifteen
Speaker 1: eighty three. There was speculation that Kelly had been paid
Speaker 1: to marry her to legitimize her two children, which had
Speaker 1: been borne out of wedlock as the result of an
Speaker 1: affair with an aristocrat. Joanna was repulsed by what was
Speaker 1: being asked of her. In the early hours of that morning,
Speaker 1: Jane did as she was asked, turning to D before
Speaker 1: leaving her bedroom to say, I trust that God will
Speaker 1: absolve me of any shame or inconvenience, and so Jane
Speaker 1: and Kelly a lot with D and Joanna at sex
Speaker 1: in their separate chambers. A few days later, Kelly and
Speaker 1: D summoned the spirits once more. This time, according to Kelly,
Speaker 1: a number of figures appeared on horseback. Kelly said that
Speaker 1: one of the figures wanted confirmation that he had indeed
Speaker 1: slept with D's wife as requested, was thy brother's wife
Speaker 1: obedient and humble to thee they asked. Kelly turned to D. Yes,
Speaker 1: yes she was. This would be the last recorded scrying
Speaker 1: session that D and Kelly would ever conduct. Unsurprisingly, a
Speaker 1: rift developed between the two men, which only deepened when
Speaker 1: nine months later, Jane gave birth to a baby boy.
Speaker 1: D raised the sun as his own and ever once
Speaker 1: mentioned the child's paternity in his writings, though many suspect
Speaker 1: the boy was not his. In February fifteen eighty nine,
Speaker 1: the pair agreed to part ways without Kelly. D search
Speaker 1: for the truths of the universe ground to an immediate halt.
Speaker 1: A distraught D and his family left Bohemia and returned
Speaker 1: to England, arriving back at Mortlake in November of that year,
Speaker 1: it was a sad homecoming. D arrived to find his
Speaker 1: house in disarray, with many of his most cherished possessions,
Speaker 1: from books to precious artifacts stolen. In the meantime, Edward
Speaker 1: Kelly made his way to Prague within a year, Capitalizing
Speaker 1: on his alleged ability to transmute base metals into gold,
Speaker 1: he acquired lands with a castle and nine villages, as
Speaker 1: well as two houses in Prague and became a baron
Speaker 1: In the process, he even reputedly turned part of a
Speaker 1: bedpan into gold as a present for Queen Elizabeth the First.
Speaker 1: Anxious to secure Kelly's apparent talents for the English crown,
Speaker 1: the Queen's key adviser, William Cecil, implored him to return
Speaker 1: to England with promises of money and lands as a lure,
Speaker 1: but Kelly declined the offer. By May fifteen ninety one,
Speaker 1: doubts were starting to circulate about the veracity of Kelly's
Speaker 1: self proclaimed abilities. At the end of April, Bohemia's Secretary
Speaker 1: of State called at Kelly's house in Prague to arrest him,
Speaker 1: but Kelly, having seen him coming, climbed out of a
Speaker 1: back window and escaped. The Emperor Rudolph was incensed and
Speaker 1: sent out troops to apprehend him. He was eventually captured
Speaker 1: and imprisoned before being released in the autumn of fifteen
Speaker 1: ninety three. Back in England, D once again petitioned Queen
Speaker 1: Elizabeth for a role in her court. Much to his relief,
Speaker 1: she offered him one, but only if it was approved
Speaker 1: by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the head of the Church
Speaker 1: of England. Given D's sinister reputation for dabbling in the occult,
Speaker 1: the archbishop refused. Instead, keen to get d away from
Speaker 1: London and the Queen, the archbishop set him up with
Speaker 1: a job in Manchester, where he was installed as the
Speaker 1: warden or head of Christ College Church known today as
Speaker 1: Manchester Cathedral. D was not a good fit for Christ's College,
Speaker 1: jarring immediately with the faculty, who took a dim view
Speaker 1: of his occult practices. However, this didn't stop several priests
Speaker 1: asking De for his help. When in early fifteen ninety five,
Speaker 1: a report was received regarding the unusual behavior of two
Speaker 1: children near Tildesley in Lancashire. The children were thought to
Speaker 1: be possessed. A man called Edmund Hartley, who some believed
Speaker 1: was a witch, was asked to assist with the matter.
Speaker 1: With the use of some herbs and Catholic charms, Hartley
Speaker 1: had apparently cured the children, only for their strange affliction
Speaker 1: to return again soon after when the children's father, a
Speaker 1: wealthy landowner, asked Hartley to intervene again. Hartley asked for
Speaker 1: more money and some land in return, but the father refused.
Speaker 1: When the children's condition were soon after, Hartley was accused
Speaker 1: of somehow being responsible. Now as a representative of the
Speaker 1: Church of England who were trying to suppress exorcists. John
Speaker 1: D wisely declined the offer to get involved. Hartley was
Speaker 1: accused of being a conjurer and execute it. You can
Speaker 1: learn more about this story in Unexplained Season five, episode fourteen,
Speaker 1: The Devil's Kiss. Over the next few years, D became
Speaker 1: increasingly miserable. The world was changing once more and fast,
Speaker 1: leaving him behind. A new age was dawning as the
Speaker 1: English Crown sought to expand its reach, first through colonizing
Speaker 1: island and then with the establishing of its first colony
Speaker 1: in the New World on the island of Roanoke. With
Speaker 1: the defeat of the Spanish Armada in fifteen eighty eight,
Speaker 1: England's global power and influence would be assured for centuries
Speaker 1: to come. And though D, with his predictions and assurances
Speaker 1: to Queen Elizabeth not to mention his genuine talent for
Speaker 1: maths and cartography, had in some ways contributed to all that,
Speaker 1: it was clear he was no longer needed. Not only
Speaker 1: that many of the Old Guard, including his friends and supporters,
Speaker 1: were dead or soon to die, And in sixteen oh three,
Speaker 1: perhaps his most fervent Queen Elizabeth the First also died.
Speaker 1: It isn't known exactly what happened to Edward Kelly in
Speaker 1: the last few years of his life. Some said he
Speaker 1: found renewed favour with Emperor Rudolph in Bohemia, Others that
Speaker 1: he fought against the Ottoman Empire for Villain Rosenberg's brother.
Speaker 1: Another story was that Kelly was imprisoned again after a
Speaker 1: dispute with an influential alchemist, Having then apparently attempted to
Speaker 1: escape his cell by tying bed sheets together, he fell
Speaker 1: from a great height, breaking both his legs. No one
Speaker 1: is sure when or how Kelly eventually died, only that
Speaker 1: the last reliable report of him alive was in fifteen
Speaker 1: ninety eight, living somewhere in what is now the Czech Republic,
Speaker 1: while Polish Prince ol Brachtlaski never did become King of Poland.
Speaker 1: In sixteen o five, John d was still in Manchester
Speaker 1: when the city was hit by the plague, as apparently
Speaker 1: foretold by the Angels or those years before. Dee's wife Jane,
Speaker 1: and several of their children were infected and died horribly
Speaker 1: Soon after, d and his surviving children returned to his
Speaker 1: home at Mortlake on the River Thames, where he spent
Speaker 1: his final years in relative obscurity. In March sixteen o seven,
Speaker 1: nearly ten years since his last sessions with Edward Kelly,
Speaker 1: D made one final attempt to recapture some of the
Speaker 1: angelic visions of old and finally learned the knowledge he'd
Speaker 1: spent most of his life searching for. He used his
Speaker 1: former servant Bartholomew Hickman as a schrier, but the visions
Speaker 1: they obtained were only pale imitations of what D had
Speaker 1: once experienced. However, the angel Raphael did apparently reassure D
Speaker 1: that he would soon finally achieve a perfect understanding of
Speaker 1: God's hidden knowledge. A few years at the age of
Speaker 1: eighty one, John D died. Perhaps only then did he
Speaker 1: finally find what he was looking for. John D was
Speaker 1: buried beneath the chancel in the Church of Saint Mary
Speaker 1: the Virgin at Mortlake. The headstone is long gone, but
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen a memorial plaque was installed inside the church.
Speaker 1: It reads, Near this place lie the remains of John D.
Speaker 1: Clark in Holy Orders, astronomer, geographer, mathematician and adviser to
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth I. There is no mention of magic, alchemy
Speaker 1: and astrology, or all his years spent trying does some believe,
Speaker 1: with some success, to commune with angels. There are unsubstantiated
Speaker 1: rumors that towards the end of his life I D
Speaker 1: put some of his most precious books and notes of
Speaker 1: angelic code in a chest and buried it in his garden,
Speaker 1: in the hope that they might one day be discovered
Speaker 1: and finally decoded. Some say these books were found, others
Speaker 1: that they have long been lost to time, and some
Speaker 1: say they never existed at all. However, many of D's
Speaker 1: treasured books, astrological charts, and perhaps more intriguingly, recordings of
Speaker 1: the apparent Andnochian language of the angels can still be
Speaker 1: found to this day in places such as the British
Speaker 1: Library and the Royal College of Physicians in London. A
Speaker 1: number of his artifacts, including a crystal ball and an
Speaker 1: obsidian scrying mirror with which he and Edward Kelly are
Speaker 1: said to have once communicated with angels and spirits, can
Speaker 1: also be found at the British Museum. This episode was
