Shadow Land

About this book

E. d'Espérance describes a séance room where flowers appear, figures take shape and a young spirit called Yolande becomes almost as familiar as the people who have gathered to see her.

Shadow Land is a personal account of mediumship and the extraordinary phenomena its author believed she witnessed. The details of sittings, visitors and expectations reveal the social world around physical spiritualism. Whether approached with belief or scepticism, the scenes are vivid records of what participants hoped could happen when the lights were lowered.
