Unearth how 19th-century Clevelanders embraced Spiritualism.
See other dates and locations for this program on our events calendar.
In the mid to late 19th century, Spiritualism – a religious movement centered on communication with the dead – swept into Northeast Ohio.
This program will address how Clevelanders embraced Spiritualism and how they reacted as some Spiritualists, both locally and nationally, tried to use “new” technologies like photography to capture scientific evidence of life after death. Some made earnest attempts, while others mounted carefully conceived efforts to double-cross believers.
Presented by the Western Reserve Historical Society.
