In the 19th century, thousands of Philadelphians believed that they could communicate with the dead. All that it took was a darkened room, a circle of believers, and a sensitive medium. Other Philadelphians mocked the table-rappers and tried to expose their tricks. Both believers and skeptics are well represented in historic Laurel Hill Cemetery. Spirits and Spiritualists, a walking tour of Laurel Hill Cemetery, will take place on Sunday, September 21st at 2:00pm. The tour will be expertly guided by Dr. Michael Brooks, a professor at West Chester University, former board member of the Friends of Laurel Hill, and longtime docent for the cemetery. The cost is $15 per person, $12 for members, $8 for students, and children are free. For more information, visit www.thelaurelhillcemetery.org or call us at 215.228.8200
