Just a reminder of WHS event  Tonight June 20

A historical presentation by Jason Smiley:

The Eddy Family of Spirit Mediums
Friday June 20th  7:00-9:00 pm
At the Brick Meeting House on Westford Common

Here is a synopsis of the story:

Essentially the story of the Eddys is of a family in Chittenden, Vermont (Rutland County) during the mid to late 1800's who became world-renowned as spirit mediums with the alleged ability of generating full-bodied spirit manifestations or "materializations" of the departed. People traveled from all over the world to Chittenden to witness these phenomena for themselves. Some came with the hope of seeing and speaking to their own departed family members. Others came as skeptics, hoping to debunk the family's alleged powers as "humbug". By 1874, the family was so well-known that Chittenden started being referred to as "Spirit Vale" or "the Spirit Capitol of the Universe". To this day, there are many who believe that the family had genuine supernatural abilities.
