The Rise of Spiritualism

Spiritualism emerged in the United States in the mid-19th century. The movement was based on the belief that the spirits of the dead could communicate with the living through mediums. Spiritualism quickly gained popularity, and by the 1870s, there were over 10 million spiritualists in the United States.

Camp Etna was founded in 1875 by a group of spiritualists from Boston. The camp was originally intended to be a summer retreat for spiritualists, but it quickly became a year-round center for the movement. Spiritualists from all over the country flocked to Camp Etna to attend lectures, workshops, and séances.

The Famous Mediums of Camp Etna

Camp Etna was home to some of the most famous mediums of the era. Cora Scott was one of the most popular mediums in the United States. She was known for her ability to channel the spirits of the dead and to produce physical manifestations, such as apparitions and levitations.

Etta Wriedt was another famous medium who worked at Camp Etna. Wriedt was known for her ability to communicate with the spirits of the dead in trance. She was also a talented healer, and she helped many people to overcome illness and disease.

Dr. Henry Slade was a controversial medium who worked at Camp Etna in the late 19th century. Slade was known for his ability to produce physical manifestations, such as apparitions and levitations. However, Slade was also accused of fraud, and he was eventually discredited by the scientific community.
