Spiritualism was a religious movement claiming that spirits of the dead, which reside in the spirit world, have the ability and the inclination to communicate with the living. The Spiritualist Movement began in the 19th century and continued through the early 20th century. Along with the spiritualist movement there was a growing religious movement in New York State that spread to New England that included the use of spiritualists and mesmerists in the treatment of physical and mental disorders.
