New York Folklore Quarterly: Volume V, No. 1

’When the spiritualists of Centre Lisle gathered at a séance at the home of their medium, Abby Polly Hannah Ann Orton Culver Pierce, the shades were always drawn, but we boys sometimes got a peek under a curtain and heard some of the talk. When Abby Polly Hannah Ann went into her trance and began to wiggle, twist, make up a painful face, and supposedly go under spirit influence, her husband, the last of the three, would sit by her side in the dim light of a kerosene lamp and say, "Control ’em, Hanner, control ’em."’ (from "Lore of Lisle" by Ruth Osborn Gulling)

The New York Folklore Quarterly was published 1946-1974. Back issues are still available.
