Summary | "Strange Visitors" by Henry J. Horn is a collection of spiritual writings produced in the late 19th century, specifically during the Spiritualist movement. This unique work consists of a series of original papers purportedly written by the spirits of notable authors and thinkers such as Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, and Charlotte Brontë, among others, as dictated through a clairvoyant in a trance state. The topics explored span philosophy, science, religion, and the arts, tackling profound questions about life, death, and the afterlife. The opening of "Strange Visitors" presents an introduction by the editor, explaining the curious nature of the work and setting the stage for the various contributions from these spirits. The editor discusses the phenomena surrounding spiritualism that had captivated society at the time, mentioning the experiments conducted to communicate with deceased individuals. Early papers by renowned figures such as Margaret Fuller and Lord Byron reflect on the existence beyond death, their views on the spiritual realm, and their experiences after crossing over. The opening chapters create a captivating atmosphere, inviting readers into a dialogue with the past and enticing them to consider the implications of life after death and the nature of spiritual existence.
