| + | By 1874, the Eddy family had built a sort-of exhibition room in their house, where they held seances. William Eddy was the main attraction. As Olcott reports, he would enter a small cabinet (like a modern-day closet) and then issuing out of the cabinet at various intervals would come all sorts of re-embodied people lately or long dead. Olcott reports these people were of both sexes, all heights from 6'3" to children as young as 1 year. | ||
