I speak with photographer Shannon Taggart about the history of the Spiritualist movement and it’s connections to Lily Dale, NY and also about her forthcoming photography book “Séance: Spiritualist Ritual and the Search for Ectoplasm” which she has been working on for almost 20 years and which documents her encounters with Spiritualists and physical mediums both in Lily Dale and around the world.
