"Do the Dead Return? A True Story of Startling Seances in San Francisco" by Anonymous is a narration into the world of spiritualism, recording a string of seances in the city of San Francisco at the end of the 1800s. It shines its light on Dr. Louis Schlesinger, a medium who asserts he can communicate with the dead, and presents first hand accounts of communication with the afterlife. The book showcases seances attended by prominent figures, including the Mayor and the Chief of Police, which aimed to validate Dr. Schlesinger’s supernatural skills. The book describes how Dr. Schlesinger brought forth names and messages from the deceased not known to the living participants, which resulted in wonder and doubt. Each story adds to the question of an afterlife, but also creates skepticism of Dr. Schlesinger’s proclaimed talents, leaving the readers to consider the communication with the supernatural world and the meanings of life and death.
