In this interview with photographer and Spiritualism archivist Shannon Taggart, we discuss her incredible book, SÉANCE and the long, buried history of America's innovative Spiritualist tradition. Topics covered include the intertwined histories of photography and Spiritualism, the Burned-Over District of New York, the connection between the explosion of American New Religions and the creation of the Erie canal, the power of synchronicity, photographing Loch Ness, hoaxing and fraud as invocation practices, an exploding cabinet, and much more.
