Spiritualist Camp Dominates Cassadaga Florida Town
Cassadaga, a 350 resident town on I 4 between Daytona Beach and Orlando, is centered on a 35 acre spiritualist camp founded by George Colby in 1875. The First Spiritualist Church on Stevens Street hosts services led by mediums, with Rev D Mona Berry guiding a recent gathering of about 20. Local medium Wilbur Hull, 74 and bedridden, defends Cassadaga from charlatans, calling spiritualism a science philosophy and religion of life through mediumship, recounting a tale of a Cape Canaveral fire victim named Gus and a carpool linked to Kay.
