Was Patience Worth a 17th-century muse to 20th-century housewife Pearl Curran? Was the Ouija board the portal for Worth to transmit her writing through Curran? Or was Curran disguising - or even consciously unaware of - her own literary gifts?
In this episode, Kathy and Traci explore the history and controversies surrounding the Patience Worth case and ponder other reported cases of otherworldly inspiration. They also discuss the broader themes of mediumship, spiritual communication, reincarnation, and the complex interplay between the conscious and subconscious mind.
