35. The Ghostly Anson Lights

Eerie lights appear and disappear from nowhere - could a local ghost story be behind them?

Outside a small town in west Texas, a series of supernatural lights are observed. The lights, which seem to materialise from nowhere, behave very strangely: splitting, hovering and receding again before people’s very eyes. Could these eerie illuminations really have their roots in a tragic local legend, or might there be another explanation for the ghostly lights of Anson? Join Lora and Barry as they investigate this strange visual phenomenon.

What is The Magician's Wife?

The Magician's Wife is a unique, interactive podcast in which a professional mystery writer, and a professional TV and stage magician, examine true crime and unexplained happenings from around the world. In each episode, Lora and Barry dive into a fascinating story and, just like a "how to" conjuring book, dissect it into two essential components...

The Effect

The astonishing spectacle that leaves the public - and often law enforcement - in awe. These effects may appear to be truly impossible, and the work of magic, but behind each one lies an ingenious solution.

The Method

The secret techniques and misdirection that remain concealed from the untrained eye. Will Lora and Barry be able to bring these hidden workings to the fore, and reveal the smoke and mirrors behind the real-life mysteries they examine?
