Occultism and witch trials
· Kesklinn
Spiritualist Tallinn of the 1930s
Séances, mediums and questions about life after death interested people in Tallinn during the 1930s.
Between the world wars, a modern city did not entirely abandon belief in spirits. For some, spiritualism offered comfort; for others it raised the question of whether experiences at a séance could be tested. Accounts of mediums and experiments circulated in newspapers and social groups. A general central map point does not identify one verified séance location, and such accounts do not establish that spirits appeared. This is a story about residents’ hopes and doubts.

Treat the central map point as a guide to the theme and period. A particular séance or building needs a separate historical source.
