The Pera Palace Hotel Agatha Christie Mystery
Season 1, Episode 12, Nov 05, 2019, 05:45 AM
Did a psychic really make contact with mystery writer Agatha Christie during a seance in 1979?
Room 411 in the Pera Palace Hotel is christened the Agatha Christie room. It's thought that's the room the author stayed in while she wrote Murder on the Orient Express.
In 1979 Warner Brothers released the movie Agatha. It was a fictional account of the 11 days Agatha Christie disappeared in 1926.
Warner Brothers hired Hollywood medium Tamara Rand, who held a seance and claimed she made contact with the famous mystery writer. Contact that may hold the key to Christie’s disappearance.
Well, it did hold a key --literally. On March 7, 1979, upon instructions from Rand, a search beneath the floorboards turned up a key Rand claimed would open a box containing a diary that explained Christie’s 11 missing days.
Was a box ever found? Was it all just an elaborate publicity stunt? Does a diary even exist?
It's all part of the mystery of the Pera Palace Hotel.
