Spiritism and Psychic Research
The séance room and the laboratory, 1848–1930.
Modern Spiritualism began with the rappings at Hydesville in 1848 and within a decade had spread across America and Europe. In France, Allan Kardec systematised it into Spiritism, a doctrine of reincarnation and moral progress still practised widely in Brazil.
This room sets the believers beside the investigators: William Crookes’ laboratory sessions, Camille Flammarion’s case collections, the histories of Emma Hardinge Britten and Arthur Conan Doyle, and the psychical researchers who tried to test the phenomena scientifically.
