A series of films about the way we live now House of Spirits
Dell Round, a former nurse, is in London for an audition - in elegant Belgrave Square, at the headquarters of the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain. It is a time when mediums are worried about frauds preying on the public.
Dell, from Swansea, learns about the dirty tricks frowned on by the Secretary,
Tom Johanson. She acts as a 'guinea pig' at a class for aspiring clairvoyants and attends demonstrations of mediumship and psychic artistry, far removed from the days of 'all hold hands in the dark'.
With other mediums, she talks of money and myths.
Is the pay enough to live on? Is there communication with the dead - or is the House of Spirits built purely on imagination?
Then comes Dell's audition.... Photography CHRIS SEAGER Sound BRIAN BIFFIN
