Popular Psychic Mediums of the 19th Century

By Tana Hoy

There were two brothers who claimed to be Psychic Mediums in the 19th century - Erastus (September 17, 1839-1911) and William Henry (February 1, 1841-July 1877) - also popularly known as the Davenport brothers. They were popular for summoning entities and spirits from the beyond. People did claim them to be psychic mediums, who were great at presenting illusions of the other worldly kind.

A Look at the History of the Davenport Brothers

Spiritualism has just been made popular in the United States in 1854, when these two psychic medium brothers started their work. They were managed by their father, and was both admired, and speculated upon by their followers. There was someone else who joined in their lives, a man named William Fay. Later on, they gave performances that were introduced by a former minister, Dr. J.B. Ferguson, a follower of Spiritualism, who sincerely believed that these two brothers indeed possessed spiritual and psychic powers.

Of all their acts, the most famous of them was the "box illusion". What happened was, they went inside the box filled with musical instruments, had themselves tied, and once the box was covered, the musical instruments inside began to make sounds. But once the box was opened, the audience saw that the two brothers were still tied in their original position. Witnesses to this were able to see that the two were psychic mediums, who were able to seek the help of spirits in order to make those sounds.

The two brothers enjoyed an abundant career for ten years. They were able to tour the United States, and were able to showcase their abilities, until they were investigated by the Ghost Club, who did not trust in their capabilities. The club defied the two brothers for being able to communicate with spirits. But then, the results of their investigation compelled them to tell the truth about the brothers' abilities.

There were magicians like John Henry Anderson, and Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin, strived to reveal the brothers' secrets by copying their performances, and jotting down exposs. None were ever successful.
