Summary: Séance requires the shedding of the rational mind and the awakening of the senses. From the stench of ectoplasm to the touch of a loved one, seances take place as a fully multi-sensory experience, for bad or for good. The Sensuality of Seance delves into the sense-based aspects of historical séance, and the impact such experiences have on the sitter and observer within the séance room. Refocusing sitters’ attentions to a particular sense allowed domestic spaces to be transformed into liminal spheres, where each interaction brought about a fresh and vulnerable experience. She is the author of Begotten (2025), Buried England (2026) and The Sensuality of Séance (TBC), and writes commercially about paranormal history for various media outlets. As a paranormal historian, she has co-hosted the television programmes Haunted Homecoming and Unexplained: Caught on Camera and has provided historical expertise for The Yorkshire Exorcist, Paranormal, and Weird Britain.
