The Medium

Inspired by the mediums of the late 19th and early 20th century. They said they had the ability to communicate with the other side and many people were looking for answers and comfort after the war, so they turned to mediums for spiritual guidance. A religious movement was created, the spiritualism. Despite its popularity, many debunkers argued it had little legitimacy—alleged mediums were con artists who took advantage of the emotionally vulnerable and drained them of all their funds.
