Houdini Seances Did Not Prove Afterlife
The seances to contact the spirit of Houdini, the famed magician and escape artist, started on October 31, 1927 to prove the existence of the afterlife but after all the effort and hopes, Houdini did not show up and his message did not come. The Houdini séance has been a Halloween tradition since the first anniversary of his death. The magician died at the age of 52 on October 31, 1926 from peritonitis – an internal infection – as the result of a ruptured appendix.
