                    Discover the rich history of otherworldly communication in this talk on the history of spiritualism in Victoria by author and academic Andrew Singleton.

                    ​​​​Spirit mediums, séances and trances swept the world in the 1850s during the birth of the Spiritualism craze. In Victoria, the movement quickly drew many converts, including a future prime minister.

                    Over the following decades, Spiritualism captured Victoria’s imagination with its spectacular claims and even more spectacular events.
