William Stead: Seer and Victorian Influencer: Eccentric Sundays
William Thomas Stead was a British journalist, editor, social reformer, and arguably paranormal seer who played a significant role in shaping public opinion and investigative journalism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
One of Stead's most notable and impactful works was his series titled "The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon," published in 1885. In this series, Stead exposed the trafficking of young girls for prostitution, shedding light on the horrors of child exploitation.
In this episode we explore the man, his achievements, his incredible tie to the Titanic and his writings from the afterlife.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
