Why are Houdini Halloween séances held every year, and what did Houdini tell his wife, Bess, from beyond the grave?
Houdini was devastated when his mother died and tried to reach her through spiritualists who tried to trick him. This angered him so much that 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.
