This week I’m digging into a very gnarly 18th century (!) poltergeist/seance account from Pennsylvania for a talk at Ephrata this fall.

I love this concluding passage to David Hufford's 1982 book The Terror that Comes in the Night:

"Countless articles and books on supernatural belief have stated that such belief is irrational and, sometimes even by definition, not empirically grounded.

Very pleased to finally share a new open-access issue of Correspondences: A Journal of Esotericism on ecology and esotericism.

Featuring work from Harry Danon, Joshua Levi Ian Gentzke, Susannah Crockford, Tjalling D. Janssen, and Anna Milon.

I had a lot of fun talking about American Aurora at the Ephrata Cloisters this morning.

Many many thanks to the PA German Society and everyone who came out on Thursday night in Philly to talk about American Aurora.

I was very psyched to talk about the book in the same library where I did much of the original research and translation for it back when I was a Library Fellow in 2021.
