On this episode of Down the Crooked Path, we uncover the hidden spiritual life of one of Canada’s most powerful figures — Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King.
Behind the formal portraits and wartime speeches was a man who believed the dead could offer guidance to the living. Through séances, crystal readings, and long nights with mediums, King sought counsel from ghosts, angels, and even his departed mother — shaping not only his private world, but, perhaps, the course of a nation.
Join Amanda Joy as she opens the séance circle and peers into the strange intersection of politics and the paranormal — where belief meets power, and Canada’s most peculiar Prime Minister walks the crooked path between worlds.
