About this Event

Embark on a journey into the extraordinary, where captivating stories and enigmatic characters await. Uncover the mysterious life of John Lockitt, whose secret marriage was announced on the same day as his death. Delve into the fascinating tale of Mollie Fancher, the "Brooklyn Enigma," who was alleged to have survived without food for years at a time. And discover the world of Anna Leah Fox Underhill, renowned for her involvement in the Spiritualist movement. Is there truth to the seemingly unbelievable, or has reality been buried beneath a mound of deception?
