Mark Twain's Ouija Mystery with Varla Ventura In-Person

Did Mark Twain’s spirit write a novel? Discover the remarkable story behind a book channeled via the Ouija board, the woman who wrote it, and the ghost whose restless spirit longed for a scribe on earth. Was Emily Grant Hutchings Twain's earthly muse, or was this a profound publicity stunt? Learn all about the origins of this practice, how Hutchings created a psychic typewriter, the controversy that ensued, and so much more!
