Not only did I have the usual amount of interview requests as a Halloween expert, but my new book <em>Calling the Spirits: A History of Seances<\/em> generated a lot of interest as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m posting here a list of all the interviews and panel discussions I did in October that were recorded. This list doesn&#8217;t include appearances that were either not recorded or that haven&#8217;t been posted yet (I hope to have a few more of those to share soon, particularly a presentation on seances I did for the London Fortean Society). I also hope that at some point The Travel Channel will make their excellent <em>Shock Docs: This is Halloween <\/em>special available via either streaming or DVD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Big S\u00e9ance with Patrick Keller<\/strong> \u2013 mainly seances &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/bigseancepodcast.com\/calling-the-spirits-with-lisa-morton-big-seance-170\">https:\/\/bigseancepodcast.com\/calling-the-spirits-with-lisa-morton-big-seance-170<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ghost Magnet with Bridget Marquardt Podcast<\/strong> \u2013 Halloween, ghosts, and seances! &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/haunted-history-halloween-trick-or-treating-seances\/id1451559688?i=1000491149369\">https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/haunted-history-halloween-trick-or-treating-seances\/id1451559688?i=1000491149369<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Are You Afraid Of?
