Salem, Massachusetts, is the quintessential New England town, with
its cobbled streets and strong ties to the sea. With the notoriety
of the Salem witch trials, the city's reputation has been
irrevocably linked to the occult. However, few know the history
behind the religion of Spiritualism and the social movement that
took root in this romanticized land. At the turn of the century,
seers, mediums and magnetic healers all hoped to connect to the
spiritual world. The popularity of Spiritualism and renewed
interest in the occult blossomed out of an attempt to find an
intellectual and emotional balance between science and religion.
Learn of early converts, the role of the venerable Essex Institute
and the psychic legacy of "Moll" Pitcher. Historian Maggi
Smith-Dalton delves into Salem's exotic history, unraveling the
beginnings of Spiritualism and the rise of the Witch City.
