S3E2 The Eddy Brothers
During the mid-1800's, a new religion began to sweep through America. It was called the Spiritualist Movement. And part of this Spiritualist Movement were the Eddy Brothers of Chittendon, VT. The Eddys were descended from a long line of psychics. Six nights a week, the brothers would invite visitors to a séance in the Circle Room, where all sorts of strange things began to happen. But was it all real?

Dover, Mass. is located about 15 miles southwest of Boston. It's also one of those towns where if you're looking for excitement, you have to head to a nearby city.

Over the holidays, a friend and I somehow got on the subject of Bigfoot, which led me to wonder if there had been any sightings here in New England. And it turns out, there have been plenty.
