Description

Arthur Ford was a Spiritualist minister who like a vulture swooped in on Beatrice Houdini after Harry Houdini passed away. Taking advantage of her in her weakness he brainwashed her into cooperating to hold a series of fraudulent seances in which Houdini would apparently return from the grave to deliver a message he had pre-arranged with his wife before his death. Beatrice would later refute that Arthur Ford had delivered the message and reveal it to have all been a complete hoax.
