Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and unsettling occurrences that transpired in the Wesley family home in Epworth, Lincolnshire, during the winter of 1716. It tells the story of unexplained noises, knockings, and even physical disturbances that plagued the family, including the prominent Methodist preacher Samuel Wesley, Sr., and his wife Susanna. The author skillfully presents a collection of letters exchanged between family members, vividly detailing their experiences and their attempts to understand the source of the strange phenomena. The book places this compelling narrative within the broader context of early spiritualism, exploring the emerging ideas about the nature of the afterlife and the possibility of communication with the departed. The letters reveal the family's grappling with questions of faith and the supernatural, questioning whether the disturbances were caused by mischievous spirits, witchcraft, or some other, unknown force. The author draws attention to the parallels between the events in the Wesley home and later developments in the field of spiritualism, hinting at the potential significance of the Wesley family's encounters. The book ultimately raises profound questions about the nature of reality, the existence of a spiritual world, and the possibility of human interaction with it. This compelling account of a family's journey into the unknown offers a glimpse into the historical roots of spiritualism and the enduring fascination with the possibility of communication beyond the veil of death.
