Elizabeth attends a séance/ The Book: “Sights and Sounds” by Henry Spicer.

In June 1855, Elizabeth was in England and attended a séance with some friends in Ealing, near London, after hearing about all the gossip of spiritualism. The séance was performed by a medium named Daniel Dunglas Hume. This was also around the time EBB came across a book called Sights and Sounds, written by Henry Spicer. She fell in love with the book and wrote letters mentioning it. This book talks about Henry’s views of and encounters with spiritualism and mediums.
