Movies About Spiritualism

In this modern day of mass and quick communications via a host of new media, Spiritualism seems to have fallen by the wayside as a subject for film.

However there are many good short clips on Youtube about the subject (one is below) but we hear there is a new Spiritualist organisation that is to concentrate on producing documentaries about Spiritualism that will include attempts to show as much physical evidence as possible.

More about that when it comes to hand.

Here is a short film about the history of Spiritualism made by the SNU.

A Spiritualist pioneer : John W. Edmonds

John W. Edmonds was one of the most influential early American Spiritualists. After a great public career, as a member of both branches of the New York State Legislature and, for some time, President of the Senate and Judge of the Supreme Court of New York, he resigned the latter position on account of the outcry raised against his Spiritualistic beliefs and, especially, his support of the Fox sisters.

His interest in the Rochester knockings was aroused in early 1851, and the first account of his experiences was published on August 1, 1853, in the New York Courier, in an article "To the Public." In this article, in order to meet the constant attacks against him by the Press, he confessed his complete conversion to Spiritualism and related his experiences. This bold step aroused a tremendous sensation, and a furious controversy arose.
