Summary

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, spiritualism was all the rage across America. People across the country regularly visited so-called psychic mediums to communicate with ghosts. But in 1874, an ardent skeptic of the paranormal heard about a pair of brothers from Vermont, who claimed to be able to conjure the spirits of the dead on their rural farm. What happened next would change that skeptic's life forever. https://www.patreon.com/theconspiratorspodcast Notes: http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/spiritualism/history/history.shtml https://www.prairieghosts.com/eddy.html https://www.the-voicebox.com/eddybrothersthe.htm Music: Dexter Britain, The Tea Party http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dexter_Britain/ Myuu, Hopeless, Outsider, Shelter, Identity Crisis, Keep Going, Lost World https://soundcloud.com/myuu Naoya Sakamata, Incident https://soundcloud.com/naoya-sakamata Learn more about your ad choices.
