Summary
Peter Sellers was one of the most famous men on the planet.
He was also one of the most genuinely, deeply paranormal figures of the 20th century, and almost nobody knows the full story.
This week Yvette Fielding investigates the extraordinary and haunting truth behind the legend.
- A clairvoyant so powerful that Hollywood producers bribed him to influence Sellers' decisions.
- A near-death experience that left him convinced he'd made a personal deal with death itself. A Victorian ghost who allegedly guided his greatest performances from beyond the grave.
- And a desperate, decades-long search through séances and mediums to find his dead mother.
This isn't a story about a celebrity with quirky superstitions.
This is a story about a man who handed his entire life over to the paranormal and what it cost him.
The séances were real. The obsession was real. And the tragedy was inevitable.
