Occult Corner: Ectoplasm was made famous by Ghostbusters, but it has a fascinating history rooted in the Spiritualism Movement and was “exuded” by some of the most audacious charlatans who capitalized on the popular fascination with the paranormal.  We chat about the pop culture references to ‘ectoplasm’ and long history of spirituality-based hoaxes.
