This book was released on 2015-10-12 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An elucidation of the Spiritualism movement in Salem in the mid-19th to the early 20th centuries. 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.

Mary Estes and Sarah Wildes of this place, were executed as victims of the witchcraft delusion in 1692, and Abigail Hobbs was condemned to death on a like charge but was subsequently pardoned. In early times, bears and wolves infested the town, and it was threatened with Indian attacks, which led to the construction of a fort or garrison-house, (300) but history does not record that it was ever brought into requisition.

Among the distinguished men who hailed from the town, were Nathaniel Peabody, a statesman, physician and soldier; Jacob Kimball, a music composer and the author of "Rural...
