Join host Laetitia Barbier and historian Brandon Hodge as they explore the pages of Hodge's latest work, Supernatural Machines: The History of Spirit Communication Devices! This unprecedented new book presents a comprehensive history of all manner of séance apparatus, from writing planchettes to Ouija boards, from their prehistory right up to the modern era! From their use among Victorian-era Spiritualist to their influence on popular culture, these devices have left an indelible mark on humankind's psyche, and Brandon and Laetitia will delve deeply into their fascinating history, which now, for the first time ever, has an encyclopedic guide in Supernatural Machines.
David Brandon Hodge is a historian, collector, and the foremost scholar on the history of spirit communication devices. Long fascinated by haunting accounts of séances, talking boards, and ghostly encounters, Hodge has spent nearly 30 years carefully curating the world’s largest collection of writing planchettes, Ouija, and obscure spirit apparatus, all featured on his MysteriousPlanchette and OccultArcheology social media outlets. He is a director of the International Association for the Preservation of Spiritualist and Occult Periodicals (IAPSOP), and has contributed séance artifacts from his extensive collection to museum exhibitions worldwide. Hodge holds a Bachelor of Arts in English and History from the University of Texas, and has traveled extensively to document spirit apparatus from many cultures and share his expertise with institutions around the globe. Brandon is frequently featured on popular television, radio, and podcast programs as an occult expert. He owns and operates Monkey See, Monkey Do! toy store and Big Top Candy Shop in Austin, Texas, where he lives with his two children, Jack and Elliot, and the ghosts of several cats.
