Clear light from the spirit world

by Kate Irving

About this book

Kate Irving recounts experiences that led her to believe in communication with a spirit world. Her 1884 account combines personal recollections with discussion of Spiritualism in ancient traditions, investigations of séances, and encounters with mediums and other participants in the movement.

The narrative moves through private and public sittings, a Spiritualist camp meeting, and experiences in New York and Cambridge. Later chapters describe Irving’s understanding of relationships, occupations, and continued development beyond death. The complete historical edition retains its original binding, dedication, contents, and concluding reflections. Digitized copy: Library of Congress.
