Author Description

The idea of contacting the dead has fascinated people for centuries. Communication with the Dead describes how the modern form of spiritualism arose in America in the mid-1800s when mediums like the teenaged Fox sisters claimed the ability to communicate with spirits. The passion for seances spread to England, where even the royal family took part. Today, mediums in the United States and elsewhere help clients reach out to dead loved one, while digital platforms offer virtual contact with the dead.
