  • Docent Program for the Hett Art Gallery and Museum Historic Camp Chesterfield | Indiana Association of Spiritualists Compiled by Rev
    Volunteer & Docent Training Manual Docent Program What is a docent? Docents are dedicated volunteers whose primary responsibility is to inform, instruct, and interpret the art collections and objects contained in the Hett Art Gallery and Museum for our visitors. Docents provide group learning experiences in the form of museum tours, demonstrations, or instruction in special interest areas that pertain to the museum’s collections and exhibits and history of Spiritualism. They guide tours, give talks, serve at special events, and answer visitors’ questions regarding our museum, campgrounds, historical displays, and gardens. Docents may be considered to be “ambassadors” not only for the Hett Art Gallery Museum and historic Camp Chesterfield, but also for the IAOS and Spiritualism at large. The Hett Art Gallery and Museum Docent Program provides the following services: School Group Tours Tours for school groups are conducted on a prescheduled basis and are designed to supplement the classroom curriculum or accommodate a specific study interest. Special Interest Tours Special interest tours, demonstrations, and hands-on activity areas offer an in-depth look at an exhibition, a collection, or a discipline. These must be prescheduled. Popular Highlights Tours Highlights tours are generally available to the public on a walk-in basis when the museum is open to the public and these provide an overview of some of the more outstanding, popular and significant museum pieces in our exhibits. Outreach Programs Outreach programs – currently in development – will "take the Hett Art Gallery and Museum and the significance of Spiritualism" to interested organizations, such as schools and community groups. The program will include an introductory presentation for an upcoming museum visit, or a specially designed and unique educational experience, for a variety of community-based groups (e.g.

Prof. Todd Jay Leonard Prologue Spanning a period of four decades, from 1934 through 1974, John Fetzer (1901-1991), a pioneer in broadcast radio in America and the owner of the Detroit Tigers, had more than a passing interest in spirituality, the paranormal, and the religion of Spiritualism. He frequently visited historic Camp Chesterfield, located outside of Anderson, Indiana, to receive spiritual guidance and spirit messages from loved ones and guides via a medium. “His interest in parapsychology and spirituality began at an early age, and he claimed to have had several spiritual experiences that influenced his later life. While spending a year bedridden with complications of influenza, he made this commitment, ‘If I am permitted to live, I will devote my life to the spiritual work of the Creator.’ For the next 73 years he did.” (Kalamazoo Public Library, 2016) This paper offers a detailed outline of the history of Spiritualism, circuit riders/camp meetings, physical phenomena, and Camp Chesterfield, referencing specifically the time period when John Fetzer actively attended Camp Chesterfield and sought the guidance and advice from mediums.

  • John Edward: Hustling the Bereaved
    John Edward: Hustling the Bereaved Investigative Files, Joe Nickell Volume 25.6, November / December 2001 Today’s spiritualism traces its roots to 1848 and the schoolgirl antics of the Fox sisters, Maggie and Katie. They seemed to communicate with the ghost of a murdered peddler by means of mysterious rapping sounds. Four decades later the foxy sisters confessed how they had produced the noises by trickery (Nickell 1994), but meanwhile others discovered they too could be “mediums” (those who supposedly communicate with the dead). The “spiritualism” craze spread across the United States, Europe, and beyond. In darkened séance rooms, lecture halls, and theaters, various “spirit” phenomena occurred. The Davenport Brothers conjured up spirit entities to play musical instruments while the two mediums were, apparently, securely tied in a special “spirit cabinet.” Unfortunately the Davenports were exposed many times, once by a local printer. He visited their spook show and volunteered as part of an audience committee to help secure the two mediums. He took that opportunity to secretly place some printer’s ink on the neck of a violin, and after the séance one of the duo had his shoulder smeared with the black ink (Nickell 1999). The great magician Harry Houdini (1874-1926) crusaded against phony spiritualists, seeking out elderly mediums who taught him the tricks of the trade. For example, while sitters touched hands around the séance table, mediums had clever ways of gaining the use of one hand. (One method was to slowly move the hands close together so that the fingers of one could be substituted for those of the other.) This allowed the production of special effects, such as causing a tin trumpet to appear to be levitating.
