Do you want an appealing adult program? Would you like to see more people come to the library? Jim Kleefeld, Ohio's master library presenter, has produced this new program for adults. The Spirits Speak is a 60-minute demonstration and explanation of deception in spiritualism from the early 1900s. Jim tells stories of spirit mediums who charged people exorbitant fees to talk to the dead, all the while using trickery and secret assistants. The Spirits Speak is a presentation adults will love. Jim brings a collection of antique and unusual artifacts and will demonstrate how turn-of-the-century mediums tried to initiate contact with spirits. You will see and learn about Spirit Trumpets, Voiceless Dolls, Ectoplasm, Message Frames, and various spiritualist powers.
Can a voice from the past speak through a trumpet?
Will an empty frame find its missing photograph?
Where did ectoplasm come from?
Can people who have passed on leave messages for the living?
Intriguing tales of how spiritualists tried to fool Houdini and Arthur Conan Doyle - a fascinating look into legends of the spirit world, including hoaxes, deceptions and fakes. Hear stories, see displays, investigate phenomena, discover books and research from the world of trying to speak with the dead. As always, Jim includes many references to the books, papers and online research he has used while investigating this fascinating past.
How many strong, professional programs are there being offered to the adults and Young Adults in civic centers and libraries? If you have searched hard, you may have found a couple. Jim Kleefeld has the background in teaching and the experience in education and libraries to know. The Spirits Speak program is ideal for adult and teen audiences. It will not only attract them to literature but encourage them to use the library to find out more about topics which really appeal to them.
