I mean, you know, it's one of those ones about Churchill that.
It's very hard to pin down if it's if it's a sort of genuine thing or apocryphal.
But I yeah, you know, is it literally these two people meeting or is it this kind of echo of Lincoln lurking around?
I don't know.
I mean, Lincoln was a president at a time of, you know, huge, huge influence.
interest in the paranormal.
That moment of the awful trauma of the American Civil War was a time when so many people were reaching for the paranormal as a way of trying to make sense of things.
It was the dawn of spiritualism, really.
The Fox Sisters
who were kind of often credited as the kind of originators of spiritualism in the 1840s.
You know, they'd started coming out.
They were the first ever people to be paid as mediums.
And by the 1860s, there was this kind of fervor around it, which just kind of grew and grew in the wake of that war.
And you see things like the Ouija board being created for the first time in that era, you know.
So if there was a kind of precedent to embody an interest in wanting to come back from the dead, then Lincoln feels...
very much like the right person for that.
And of course, you know, dying in a very tragic, public, dramatic way himself, you know.
So if there's going to be an echo from the past, he would make sense.
Totally.
And it kind of gets the nub, I guess, of one issue with the paranormal, which is about how we interpret things.
