Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Seance" — noun, pronounced /ˈseɪɒ̃s/, with the stress on "sea".
Narrator: A seance is a meeting at which people attempt to communicate with the spirits of the dead.
Narrator: In plain English, a seance is a gathering where a medium tries to contact ghosts.
Narrator: It comes from the French séance, meaning a sitting, from the Old French seoir, to sit.
Narrator: "To hold a seance" describes conducting a gathering to contact spirits.
Narrator: It differs from ritual because a seance specifically aims to contact the dead, whereas a ritual is a broader ceremony.

Narrator: Spiritualism, the occult, parapsychology and literature all rely on the word seance.
