In the 1920s, Arthur Conan Doyle’s wife became a medium. She often channeled a spirit called Pheneas who insisted on them buying a nice house in the New Forest, asked to paint one of the rooms mauve, and didn’t like that Conan Doyle worked too much.

IIRC, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle also had a falling out with Harry Houdini on this subject. Their friendship began over a shared interest in the supernatural, but slowly devolved because Doyle believed in the supernatural and Houdini debunked it.
