Cassadaga was the first I was familiar with and another such camp, Lillydale in NY, has a lake Cassadaga where I think the Florida camp got its name. I eventually will post a draft post on Camp Chesterfiled in Indiana when I find time to drive over there now that it's getting warmer. The camp in Wisconsin may be the only other such camp from the era still in existence. Great and very complete post as usual.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09729586526771116724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371057245307283394.post-6254303982280788412010-03-10T11:16:56.658-05:002010-03-10T11:16:56.658-05:00I love the town, but I kind of have issues with th...I love the town, but I kind of have issues with the mediums in the town. Getting a reading is fun, as long as they don't overdo it like it sounds like they did for your wife. I find it so immoral that they charge money to do a cold reading and pretend to talk to dead relatives. It kind of destroys the memories that someone actually had of their ancestors and replaces the memories with something made up by the psychic...<br /><br />But then again, their whole economy is based off of lying to gullible people, so nothings going to change. If anyone there did have any sort of supernatural powers that allowed them to speak to the "other side," you would think at least someone would attempt to pass James Randi's Million Dollar Challenge.Florida Everyone Forgothttp://floridaeveryoneforgot.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371057245307283394.post-14080089176815100622010-03-10T10:40:02.964-05:002010-03-10T10:40:02.964-05:00Very interesting.
