Today, we enjoy telling ghost stories and reveling in a well-timed fright or harrowing tale. To the Shakers, however, the spiritual world was an important part of the community.

Spiritualism began in the 19th century during the Era of Manifestations and became a part of the Shaker faith. Many Shakers recorded otherworldly accounts, which sustained Shaker communal life across generations.

On this 45-minute tour, you will learn about the growth of spiritualism as part of the Shaker religion and hear firsthand accounts of otherworldly encounters.
