LINK: The House Where Houdini Stayed Was Disappearing… Not Anymore

Here's a terrific post by our friend Scott Markus at What's YOUR Ghost Story? about the current state of the house in Delavan, Wisconsin, that belonged to the Flitcroft family. Click the headline or the image below to have a read.


In the article, Scott says he couldn't confirm that Houdini visited the house in 1908. Well, I can confirm it. The date was February 17, 1908 (a day later than what I reported in my 2021 post). It was part of an adventurous journey for Harry and Bess that I will cover in my upcoming book, Handcuff King: The Conquests of Harry Houdini, 1900-1909.

  1. Thanks! Great post by Scott. The new owners of the Flitcroft house made some nice renovations like we saw for 278.
