And spiritualism, too. It really beggars belief that the man who invented Sherlock Holmes could just such a gullible moron about believing in seances and mediums to the point of refusing to believe they were fake even when Houdini proved again and again how it was just basic magician's tricks.

Good gravy, he sounds like a delusional fangirl.

I don't think that's entirely fair - I think (it's been a while since I read his non-SH short stories and thought about it) that he got into spiritualism explicitly looking for solace over his son's death. I mean, he was being gullible, sure, but before that he was pretty rationalist and so it just seems like was desperate to believe that there was an afterlife.

That's a different kettle of fish. I retract my earlier statement. Thank you for the explanation.

It's not the case, though. ACD was into spiritualism much earlier. The death of Kingsley only solidified his belief and commitment to "spreading the word". ACD addressed a spiritualist conference the day after the death - already heavily involved in the movement, as were many highly intelligent and respectable people.

What is with you and delusional fangirls when it comes to Sherlock of all things. Just because you refuse to see what they're doing there doesn't mean everyone is so blind.

And just because you see something doesn't make it so. Also this has nothing to do with Sherlock. It's about Doyle. Author of actual canon Sherlock Holmes, not rubbish funded TV fanfic.
