History of Spirit Communication
Fall River Public Library 104 North Main St, Fall River, MAFor over 20 years, Jeff Belanger has been exploring the unexplained. He seeks out history, folklore, ghosts, monsters, and legends all over the world and in your backyard. This multi-media program, based on his book Communicating With the Dead, explores the history of spirit communication from the Fox Sisters in the earliest days of the Spiritualist movement, to devices such as the Ouija Board and Dowsing Rods, and on to using electronic devices to try and communicate with the other side. You’ll explore the history, see the devices, see and hear the evidence, and maybe catch a glimpse of what’s beyond the grave. NOTE: Jeff is NOT a psychic medium. He does not do spirit readings of any kind.
