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.
