Since the advent and rise of modern Spiritualism in the late 1800s, mediumship—or the practice of talking to the dead—has been both ever-present and ever-questioned in the US. While interest in proving its validity has waxed and waned across religious, social, artistic, scientific, and reform communities through the years, in 2021 it made up a full 25% of the $2 billion psychic services industry—up from 18% in 2018. We can look at economics and the latest research to answer our questions about how real mediumship is, but should we ask better questions, such as why do we continue to be so fascinated by it?
