Mediums, Magicians, and the Ouija Board: A Spiritualist History of Baltimore

October 26, 2023 , 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

$5

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Do spirits return, and can we communicate with the dead? Baltimore’s Spiritualists thought so, but magicians worked to disprove them. Learn about spirit mediums, the Spiritualist origins of the Ouija board, and Baltimore’s group of amateur magicians, the Demons Club from librarian Julie Saylor of the Enoch Pratt Free Library.

Julie Saylor has served as a library associate with Enoch Pratt Free Library for over 30 years, in many different departments at Central Library. Her current home is the Maryland Department, where she has created public programs about house history, historical cooking, land records, and the history of Spiritualism in Baltimore.
