Description

Spiritualism flourished in Boston from the first rumblings of the Civil War until the early twentieth century. A lot of clairvoyants claimed to bring messages from beyond the grave at seances and public meetings. Motives for belief were varied. Wealthy John Wetherbee sought business advice through supernatural means. Psychic Fannie Conant attributed her restored health to spirit intervention. Grieving theater manager Isaac B. Wealthy wanted to contact his deceased wife. At the same time as many earnestly believed within the movement, there were people who took benefit of naive Bostonians. Decided to expose charlatans, world-renowned magician Harry Houdini declared the famous medium and Bostonian Mina Margery” Crandon a fake. Sign up for writer Dee Morris as she navigates the complex history of Boston’s spiritualist movement.”
