Facts and Mysteries of Spiritism

Joseph Hartman’s Facts and Mysteries of Spiritism is both a defense and an exploration of the spirit world, written in a time when séances, table-rapping, and mediumistic trances captivated society. Hartman examines the evidence of spiritual manifestations with a critical yet devoted eye, presenting accounts that reveal the uncanny line between fact and faith, illusion and reality.

In these pages are detailed discussions of spirit communication, apparitions, possession, and the powers of mediums. Hartman does not dismiss these as mere superstition; instead, he argues for the reality of spirit phenomena, urging readers to recognize the hidden laws and forces at work in the world around them.

Part testimony, part instruction, Facts and Mysteries of Spiritism stands as both a record of the movement and a handbook for those who sought to understand or engage with the unseen.
