Description
“Engaging.... [Ptacin] is on a quest to understand the peculiar nature of belief, the power of
faith – pure, unquestioning and even unreasoning – to shape the way we see the world around
us.... This is a place and a story rooted in the very human hope that life is more than a handful of
years on a lonely planet. And that if we believe hard enough we may find proof of that, shining in
the shadows, just beyond our reach.― - Deborah Blum, New York Times Book Review
“Who doesnâ€t like a good ghost story? And in Camp Etna, the 143-year-old Spiritualist
summer retreat located in the Maine hinterland just west of Bangor, author Mira Ptacin has found a
whopping good one.... Ms. Ptacinâ€s depiction of Camp Etnaâ€s residents―a ‘quirky
underworld of fringe characters†and ‘their truthâ€â€•is both nonjudgmental and, pardon
the pun, dead-on.― - Marc M. Arkin, Wall Street Journal“A deft account.... Ptacin nimbly
traces the movement from the early days ― when Spiritualism offered women (often via
mediumship) a public voice and sense of authority ― to its heyday as a ghostly carnival, into the
public backlash at the hands of skeptics like Harry Houdini, to the New Age of crystal healing and
the even newer age of high-tech ghost hunting.― - Genevieve Valentine, NPR.org“Best to
go into this book open-minded. Leave a crack open for wonder – or belief – to slip through.― -
Elena Nicolau, Refinery29“Enchanting.... Ptacin locates the roots of Spiritualism and traces
the rise and decline of this female-dominated world that challenged institutions of the 19th-century
patriarchy, offered comforting connection with the dead, and supported both abolition and suffrage.
Blending history and her firsthand experience, Ptacin summons the spirits of this rich past and
conveys the emotional needs it has satisfied over the years.― - National Book Review
“A fascinating look at the history and cultural influence of Camp Etna, the 143-year-old
Spiritualist community in Maine.... Ptacin, who is receptive to the spiritual experiences and stories
of the community, delivers her narrative evenhandedly and with genuine curiosity. This is an eyeopening
and informative peek into a little-known but influential community.― - Publishers Weekly
[starred review]“With mediums, rocking healing, tables, divining, ghost hunting, and faith
healing in the mix, Ptacinâ€s history of the Spiritualist religion in America will entertain
practitioners and naysayers alike.... Ptacinâ€s writing is educational, entertaining, and wellresearched.
Readers interested in Spiritualism as a contemporary religion as well as the people
who are currently involved with programs, services and educational opportunities at Camp Etna
will find this of particular interest.― - Joyce McIntosh, Booklist“The Maine-based author

immersed herself in the community, and her reportage reflec
