Conan Doyle and Houdini

While revisiting some favorite Conan Doyle stories recently I became intrigued with his thoughts on Spiritualism. It lead to this article Houdini and Conan Doyle: The Story of a Strange Friendship.

"They were both profoundly interested in the subject of Spiritualism; however, their views differed completely. Houdini was the skeptic, the exposer of psychic frauds; Doyle the believer, the St. Paul of Spiritualism. How could these two persons have become affectionated friends and then bitter enemies is a fascinating tale which deserves telling."

Fascinating stuff! Credit to A Study in Sherlock for the link.
