He used it to channel the spirits of Plato, Hannibal, Rousseau, Aristophanes, Joan of Arc, Galileo, Lord Byron, Dante, Socrates, Alexander the Great, Shakespeare and even Jesus! What happens when this haunted artefact makes its way into the hands of the Amelia gang? Listen to our Halloween Special to find out... Featuring Alan Burgon, Julia Morizawa, Julia C. Thorne, Stan Morris, Fernando Tiberini and James Oliva. Written and edited by Philip Thorne, with story editing by Oystein Ulsberg Brager, sound design by Alexander Danner, theme tune variation and Franz Liszt / Rosemary Brown pastiche by Fredrik Baden.
