Sharon  Hatfield will be joining us to discuss her new book, Enchanted Ground: The Spirit Room of Jonathan Koons.

From the publisher: In Enchanted Ground, Sharon Hatfield brings to life the true story of a nineteenth-century farmer-turned-medium, Jonathan Koons. One of thousands of mediums throughout the antebellum United States, he built a house in the hills outside Athens, Ohio, where it was said the dead spoke to the living, and where ancient spirits communicated the wisdom of the ages. Curious believers traveled from as far as New Orleans to this remote Appalachian cabin.
