Postmortem Confessions is a book that was published in 1886 and is a collection of letters written through a mortal's hand by spirits who, when alive, were officers of Harvard College. The book is written by Allen Putnam, who claims to be a medium through which the spirits communicated. The letters contained in the book are purportedly written by the spirits of former Harvard College officers who have passed away. These spirits confess to various sins and misdeeds they committed during their lifetimes, including cheating, lying, and stealing. The letters also contain details about the spirits' experiences in the afterlife, including their encounters with other spirits and their observations of the living.The book is considered to be a work of spiritualism, a movement that was popular in the late 19th century. Spiritualism was based on the belief that spirits of the dead could communicate with the living through mediums, and Postmortem Confessions is an example of this belief in practice.Overall, Postmortem Confessions is a unique and intriguing book that provides a glimpse into the spiritualist beliefs of the late 19th century. It is a fascinating read for those interested in the history of spiritualism and the paranormal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
