THE PSYCHIC QUEST by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

dimanche 8 novembre 2026 • Durée 30:10

THE PSYCHIC QUEST

From Memories and Adventures by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Most listeners know Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, the great champion of observation, evidence, and cold deductive reasoning. But there was another side of Conan Doyle, one that became increasingly important to him as his life went on.

In"The Psychic Quest," the concluding chapter of his 1924 autobiography Memories and Adventures, Conan Doyle turns to what he describes as the most important pursuit of his life: his investigation of psychic phenomena and his eventual belief in Spiritualism. He explains that his interest developed gradually, following years of study that he believed had moved him away from his earlier agnostic and materialist outlook. [cambridge.org], [arthur-con...-doyle.com]

It makes for a fascinating contrast with Sherlock Holmes. Here is Holmes's creator, a physician by training and a man famous for inventing literature's supreme rational detective, describing his own search for answers to questions that seemed to reach beyond the physical world.

"The Psychic Quest" is Chapter XXXII of Memories and Adventures, an autobiography that also recounts Conan Doyle's experiences in medicine, literature, travel, politics, war and sport. [cambridge.org], [edinburghu...ypress.com]

AND THIS WEEK, ANOTHER JOURNEY INTO THE UNKNOWN...

If Conan Doyle's fascination with the unexplained catches your imagination, don't miss our two-part presentation of THE CURSE OF TUTANKHAMUN, playing this week on 1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries.

The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb produced one of the most enduring legends of the 20th century: was there really a curse associated with opening the ancient pharaoh's tomb?

It's a perfect companion to "The Psychic Quest": two stories exploring that fascinating territory where documented history meets mystery, belief, and the enduring human desire to understand what we cannot easily explain.

Enjoy "The Psychic Quest" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on 1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and then join us for THE CURSE OF TUTANKHAMUN, Parts One and Two, on 1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries.

THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER and THE SPECKLED BAND THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

vendredi 6 novembre 2026 • Durée 55:16

THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER [ghostofradio.com], [oldtime.radio]

The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Original Broadcast: November 5, 1945
Episode: #191 in this surviving-episode chronology
Running Time: Approximately 29 minutes
Sherlock Holmes: Basil Rathbone
Dr. John Watson: Nigel Bruce
Announcer: Harry Bartell
Sponsor: Petri Wine [archive.org] [youtube.com]

Remember, remember...the Fifth of November!

On Guy Fawkes Day, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson become involved in a bizarre case that seems to recreate Britain's infamous Gunpowder Plot of 1605.

A frightened gentleman named James Stewart arrives at Baker Street convinced that his cousin intends to blow him up and claim an inheritance. And there is frightening evidence to support his story. A neighboring house has been rented, strange work has been taking place in its cellar, and Holmes and Watson discover a tunnel, barrels of gunpowder and a fuse.

It certainly appears that someone intends to celebrate November 5th in spectacularly deadly fashion.

But appearances can be deceiving, particularly when Sherlock Holmes is examining the evidence. One seemingly unimportant clue found in the cellar causes Holmes to reconsider the entire story, leading to a wonderfully clever reversal in which the supposed victim may not be quite what he seems.

THE SPECKLED BAND ABOUT THE SERIES

LOT No. 249 (PT 2) by SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

mercredi 4 novembre 2026 • Durée 39:25

LOT NO. 249 (PT. 2) by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE 1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

The mystery of Lot No. 249 reaches its chilling conclusion!

In Part One, Oxford medical student Abercrombie Smith became increasingly convinced that his sinister neighbor, Edward Bellingham, had discovered something no rational man should believe possible: a way of bringing an ancient Egyptian mummy back to life.

And worse, Smith believes Bellingham isn't merely experimenting with the dead. He may be using the creature against his enemies. [en.wikipedia.org]

In Part Two, suspicion turns to confrontation.

After another frightening incident, Smith decides that waiting for proof may prove deadly. He confronts Bellingham and demands an end to the terrifying experiments involving the mummy known only by the auction number printed upon its case:

LOT NO. 249

What follows is a showdown between Victorian reason and something horrifyingly beyond reason, as Smith determines that the mummy and the secrets surrounding it must be destroyed. [bookey.app]

FROM LOT NO. 249 TO THE CURSE OF TUTANKHAMUN

There's an irresistible historical connection surrounding this story.

Arthur Conan Doyle published Lot No. 249 in 1892, decades before the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb made Egyptian curses and supernatural vengeance an international sensation. The story became especially influential because it presented the resurrected mummy not simply as an archaeological curiosity, but as a genuinely dangerous figure of horror. [en.wikipedia.org], [oldstyletales.com]

LOT No. 249 (PART 1) by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

dimanche 1 novembre 2026 • Durée 43:13

LOT NO. 249 (PT. 1) by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE 1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Long before the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb helped ignite the world's fascination with the so-called mummy's curse, Arthur Conan Doyle had already imagined something terrifying awakening from ancient Egypt.

In LOT NO. 249, first published in 1892, Arthur Conan Doyle takes us to Oxford University, where medical student Abercrombie Smith becomes increasingly suspicious of his strange and secretive neighbor, Edward Bellingham, a student of Egyptology surrounded by ancient artifacts and possessing one particularly disturbing acquisition: an Egyptian mummy purchased at auction and identified simply as Lot No. 249. [en.wikipedia.org], [arthur-con...-doyle.com]

Soon, strange sounds begin coming from Bellingham's rooms. The college servant reports hearing something moving around when Bellingham isn't there. And when one of Bellingham's enemies is attacked by a mysterious figure possessing seemingly unnatural strength, Smith begins wondering whether the impossible might actually be true. [en.wikipedia.org]

Could Bellingham have discovered a way of bringing the ancient dead back to life?

And if so, what exactly is he using Lot No. 249 to do?

Today the tale is regarded as an important early landmark in mummy horror. Although reanimated mummies had appeared previously in literature, Doyle's story helped establish the mummy as something genuinely threatening and dangerous, an idea that would become a fixture of horror fiction and movies in the decades that followed. [en.wikipedia.org]

AND THERE'S A FASCINATING 1001 CONNECTION...

We recently discussed Arthur Conan Doyle and the extraordinary controversy surrounding the supposed curse of Tutankhamun in our two-part presentation:

THE ADVENTURE OF CHARLES AUGUSTUS MILVERTON A SHERLOCK HOLMES ADVENTURE

vendredi 30 octobre 2026 • Durée 41:57

🎙️ SHOW NOTES SUMMARY THE ADVENTURE OF CHARLES AUGUSTUS MILVERTON 1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Few villains in the Holmes canon inspire more disgust than Charles Augustus Milverton, the master blackmailer of Hampstead. Holmes calls him "the worst man in London" — a predator who profits from human weakness, collecting private letters and selling reputations to the highest bidder.

When Milverton threatens to destroy the life of a young society woman unless she pays his outrageous demands, Holmes takes matters into his own hands. Disguised and determined, he infiltrates Milverton's home with Watson at his side, intent on recovering the incriminating letters. But what they witness inside that house — a confrontation, a gunshot, and a swift, silent justice — leaves even Holmes shaken.

This story blends espionage, moral ambiguity, and revenge, showing Holmes at his most daring and human. It's a tale of secrets, power, and the thin line between justice and crime.

THE ADVENTURE OF THE NORWOOD BUILDER A SHERLOCK HOLMES ADVENTURE

mercredi 28 octobre 2026 • Durée 55:22

⭐ SHOW NOTES SUMMARY THE ADVENTURE OF THE NORWOOD BUILDER 1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

A young solicitor named John Hector McFarlane arrives at Baker Street in a state of panic. He has been accused of murdering Jonas Oldacre — a wealthy, eccentric builder from Norwood — after Oldacre's will mysteriously leaves his entire estate to McFarlane. The evidence seems overwhelming: bloodstains, burned remains, and a motive that appears tailor‑made for scandal.

But Sherlock Holmes senses something wrong. The clues feel too neat, too convenient, too perfectly arranged. As Holmes and Watson investigate, they uncover a web of deception involving a vindictive old man, a forged will, and a staged crime designed to ruin an innocent life.

Holmes's reconstruction of the crime — and his dramatic reveal of Oldacre's hiding place — make this one of the most satisfying reversals in the entire Holmes canon. It's a story of revenge, misdirection, and the danger of believing evidence that seems too perfect.

DR. WATSON'S MEMOIRS: THE CASE OF THE DEPTFORD SHADOWS

dimanche 25 octobre 2026 • Durée 23:02

🎙️ SHOW NOTES Dr. Watson's Memoirs: The Case of the Deptford Shadows

Series: 1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

In this newly unearthed folio from Dr. Watson's dusty box, Holmes investigates a brutal double assault in Deptford — a case that marks the dawn of forensic science. When a faint thumbprint is discovered on a cash box, Holmes visits Scotland Yard's fledgling Fingerprint Bureau to learn the revolutionary technique of dusting for prints.

Armed with this new method, Holmes uncovers two distinct fingerprints — one on the cash box, another on a glass left behind in the kitchen — leading him to a pair of brothers whose greed and desperation have turned deadly. The case culminates in a tense confrontation at the docks, where Holmes's physical prowess and deductive brilliance bring the culprits to justice.

This story blends historical fact with Holmesian fiction, inspired by the real‑life Stratton Brothers case of 1905, the first British murder conviction based on fingerprint evidence.

🕵️ HOST NOTES

Before we close today's episode, a bit of real history behind the science featured in this story:

In 1901, Scotland Yard officially established its Fingerprint Bureau, the first of its kind in Britain. It was led by Detective Inspector Charles Stockley Collins, under the direction of Sir Edward Henry, whose classification system became the foundation of modern fingerprint identification.

Just four years later, fingerprints were used for the first time in Britain to secure a murder conviction. The case involved two brothers — Alfred and Albert Stratton — and became known as the Deptford Murders or the Mask Murders. A single thumbprint left on a cash box was enough to place one of the brothers at the scene, and the case became a landmark moment in forensic history.

Sherlock Holmes, of course, had been using fingerprint logic in fiction long before Scotland Yard adopted it in reality — always a step ahead of his time.

THE ADVENTURE OF SILVER BLAZE A SHERLOCK HOLMES ADVENTURE

mercredi 21 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:02:04

Arthur Conan Doyle was asked by the Strand Magazine to come up with his 12 favorite Sherlock Holmes adventures as part of a contest held by Stand Magazine in which the readers were asked to list their 12 favorites and the person closest ton Doyle's picks would win an autographed copy of the still-to-be-released 'Casebook of Sherlock Holmes'. That final book contained another group of great Holmes adventures, prompting another journalist to ask Doyle for some additional favorites. ACD added another 7, giving us 19. we begin with The Adventure of Silver Blaze, which didn't make the top 12 because Doyle had been challenged by a reader who believed his theory of the bicycle was "off track"- and it was. But Doyle really was proud of that story and placed in as his #13th favorite.
