Join staff from the Maryland Department at the Enoch Pratt Free Library for part 2 of our 5 part series, The Dark Side of Maryland!
Do spirits return, and can we communicate with the dead? Baltimore’s Spiritualists thought so, but magicians worked to disprove them. Learn about spirit mediums, the Ouija Board, and Baltimore’s group of amateur magicians, the Demons Club.
