    Saw this book at the #Vancouver Public #Library and had to pick it up to realize the name of the author, Peter Lamont, laid out right under the subtitle, wasn’t the name of the mysterious Victorian psychic

    Almost missed that it was about my favorite #accordion psychic #DanielDunglasHome 🪗

    Probably not many would jump at his name today, but they almost missed a proselytizing reader here 👻

  2. Good review of a book on the frustrating early spiritualist / huckster #DanielDunglasHome who famously had ghosts play #accordion at séances in the 1860s 👻🪗

    Frustrating, because nobody seems to know how he did it

    Some say he had a tiny #harmonica in his mouth 😬

    But the accordion moved by itself and stuff. So annoying 🤨

    I would love to see someone revive this act at our @accordionnoir festival 🔮

    There has to be an #Accordion connection 🪗 👻 here right? 🥁

    Curiously, almost long as they’ve existed, Accordions have been connected to the otherworldly through the #spiritualist movement by figures like #DanielDunglasHome who had the dead play accordion in #séances 🎺
