Elementary, you ignorant morons. You see, in my studies I’ve collected newspaper clippings that mention the railway tunnel over the canal that borders the estate, knowing it would make an opportune location to discard a weapon that was used on the train. It just so happens that last year a canal boat dredged up a lion-headed cane in that very spot. When I inquired about the cane, i was informed it was retrieved by a certain Mister Butts, the tabbaconist in town. It appears that Mister Butts, in his youth, had spent some time in India, where he encountered the victim’s brother.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:

the really funny thing is that despite all of this being true, doyle had a completely unwarranted reputation as a keen analytical mind. doyle was actually the most gullible motherfucker on the planet, and he constantly got taken in by really obvious frauds posing as spiritualists. he was far from the only one, as being a gullible motherfucker who believed anyone who knocked on a table and went "woooo, there's a ghost" was a huge fad in england at the time, but doyle kept doubling down on even the most thoroughly disproven hoaxes.

but doyle wrote mysteries, so that must mean he is just as capable as his fictional detective.

Doyle’s wife used to hold seances, one of which Harry Houdini famously attended and set him off on his mysticism debunking because it was obviously bullshit.
