Described by some as a, “charming rogue,” Charles Augustus Howell was a dodgy figure in Victorian art circles, in particular London’s Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood movement. There was extortion. There was forgery. And just a whole lot of unsavory bits. Howell was an art dealer by trade who was also known to manipulate those around him so he could acquire works that would establish and increase his reputation – and his financial security. When that didn’t work, in the words of biographer Humphrey Hare, "Howell did not hesitate to blackmail." So let’s get to know this charming-yet-unsavory character.

In the summer of 1917, Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths convinced a whole lot of people, including the famous Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, they'd seen fairies neat their home -- and they had photographic evidence to prove it. After decades of keeping their ruse a secret, they admitted their "joke was to last two hours, and it has lasted 70 years.

Bob and Shaner recommend the book, "The House of Silk," by Anthony Horowitz. This is the first Sherlock Holmes novel to be authorized by the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Estate. 

Horowitz has been called one of "the most original and best spy-kids authors of the century" by the New York Times. It is set in London in 1890, and takes place just after the short story, "The Adventure of the Dying Detective." Discover the two intertwined mysteries and why Watson has this manuscript locked away for 100 years.

In the 19th Century Spiritualism was all the rage with Mediums setting up shop or hitting the road all across America and Europe.  While some were likely genuine others were simply taking advantage of the grieving, though the lengths and tactics used to deceive were impressive.  The movement also had famous historical figures like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle backing research and conducting in serious studies of the most famous psychics.  Join us as we discuss this fascinating time in history.

Shakin Shaner has a complete nerd-fest in this homage to the original Sherlock Holmes novels and short stories. He relates several noteworthy items, such as Sherlock Holmes, as a fictional character has been featured in more movies than any other character in the history of cinema and that the phrase, "Elementary my dear Watson," is not found in any of the novels or short stories. 

Hi Ichabodicans! Welcome back!! Today we are talking about fairies and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who, in 1920, was so convinced that a couple of pictures of fairies he saw were real, he wrote a book about it. An actual book. A couple of girls took a picture with a borrowed camera and when fairies showed up on the developed prints, the news spread.

Thank you for listening to Psychic Matters!

Wealth can be both a blessing and a curse. It allows many to wander far and wide, and one soul has been wandering for an eternity.  

The discovery of a lifetime almost didn’t happen, but when Howard Carter found King Tut’s tomb everything changed. Curses and mummies came with fame and fortune. Come see how the fortune behind the discovery also connects to our stories of heirs and heiresses, the Titanic and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as Universal’s Mummy Franchise and Downton Abbey.

Other people and subjects include: November 1922, Ava Alice Muriel Astor, Lady Evelyn Herbert of Carnarvon, Lord Carnarvon, Highclere Castle, Prince Kamel Fahm Bey of Egypt, Pola Negri, and the ongoing pop culture fascination with Egypt.

Smart people are not only just as prone to making mistakes as everyone else—they may even be more susceptible to them. This idea has been dubbed the Intelligence Trap. It explains the flaws in our understanding of intelligence and expertise, and how the decisions of even the brightest minds and talented organisations can backfire.

We explore the emergence and growth of the spiritualist movement in the second installment of our two-part Halloween special.

Notice History is the official podcast of Know History, a historical research company based in Ottawa. Visit our website at knowhistory.ca/podcast, or follow us on Twitter and Instagram @NoticeHistory.

Regina, will treat you to the juicy gossip about what went down with Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Connan Doyle.  Then she'll wrap up her portion of the episode with the story of her old haunted house.
