| Summary | "Do the Dead Return? A True Story of Startling Seances in San Francisco" by Anonymous is a historical account that explores the phenomena of spiritualism and mediumship, specifically detailing a series of seances conducted in the late 19th century. Written towards the end of the 1800s, this book captures the fascination with psychic phenomena prevalent during that time period. The narrative centers around a medium named Dr. Louis Schlesinger, who claims to channel messages from the deceased, raising questions about the afterlife and the intersections between the living and the dead. The content of the book recounts various seances held in San Francisco, wherein prominent figures from the city, including the Mayor and the Chief of Police, participated to witness Dr. Schlesinger’s abilities. The book details how the medium elicited names and messages from deceased individuals that were not known to the living participants, provoking both awe and skepticism. Each individual's account contributes to a collective sense of wonder regarding the nature of existence beyond death, while simultaneously highlighting the mystery surrounding Dr. Schlesinger’s purported abilities. Ultimately, the book leaves readers to ponder the implications of these experiences and the broader questions of life, death, and communication with the spirit world.
