This immersive program plunges you into the dark, controversial world of Mina Crandon—known to the world as “Margery“—the most famous and polarizing spiritual medium of the Jazz Age. As scientists, magicians, and skeptics gathered around her table, bells rang, ectoplasm materialized, and the disembodied voice of her deceased brother Walter echoed from the dark.
