Eddy Brothers
The Eddy Brothers were William and Horatio Eddy, two American mediums best known in the 1870s, who claimed psychic powers.
==Biography==
The brothers were sons of Zephaniah Eddy and his wife Julia Maccombs, natives of Vermont. It was claimed that their family could be traced back to the Salem witch trials, and that they had a long history of psychic ability. Growing up on a small farm near Chittenden, Vermont, both brothers claimed to have exhibited strong psychic abilities from an early age. Both the sons took up mediumship and held séances, they claimed to perform ectoplasm materializations and communicate with spirit guides. William would work in a séance cabinet on occasion and his brother Horatio would sit outside a cloth screen where they would claim spirits would play musical instruments behind the screen.〔Raymond Buckland. (2005). ''The Spirit Book: The Encyclopedia of Clairvoyance, Channeling, and Spirit Communication''. Visible Ink Press. pp. 120-121. ISBN 978-1578592135〕
In 1870, William and Horatio were living with their widowed mother Julia in Chittenden. There, the Eddy family opened a small inn, called the Green Tavern. In addition to lodging travelers, the Green Tavern was also the spot of regularly scheduled séances that the brothers put on for visitors from around the world.〔Judith Joyce. (2010). ''Weiser Field Guide to the Paranormal''. Weiser Books. p. 72. ISBN 978-1578634880〕
A typical séance of the Eddy Brothers would have the audience gathered in the "circle" room at the tavern. One of the brothers would enter a special spirit box at the front of the room (essentially just a small room with a chair in it) and lapse into a deep trance, at which point the show would start. It was alleged that instruments would start playing music on their own, various noises could be heard and strange lights would be seen.
