About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "The Eddy Brothers and the High Life Ski Club" from Morbid covers The Eddy Brothers, William and Horatio Eddy, two brothers from the small village of Chittenden, Vermont, who rose to fame in the early-to-mid 1870s during a wave of American interest in Spiritualism and psychic mediums. Their claimed psychic abilities drew widespread attention and made them minor celebrities of the era, eventually catching the eye of major figures in the Spiritualist movement, including Henry Olcott and Helena Blavatsky. That attention, however, did not shield them from scrutiny, and by 1875 allegations of fraud emerged that unraveled their reputation and brought an end to their period of fame. The episode title also references the High Life Ski Club, tying the Eddy brothers' story to this subject within the same episode.
