Synopsis
Background
According to the documentary, Lily Dale has the highest concentration of mediums in the world, and has 25,000 visitors annually.[1]
Reception
The documentary received mostly positive reviews from critics. Robert Lloyd of Los Angeles Times called it "colorful and engaging if not deeply illuminating or historically comprehensive."[2] Cynthia Fuchs of PopMatters gave it a rating of 7 out of 10.[3]
Joe Nickell, in a review published by the Center for Inquiry, rated the film 2 out of 4. Nickell wrote that it explored "the poignancy of the human longings that draw people there" but did not interrogate the underlying superstitions involved.[4]
