520    .A story of faith and fraud in post-Civil War America, 
       told through the lens of a photographer who claimed he 
       could capture images of the dead In the early days of 
       photography, in the death-strewn wake of the Civil War, 
       one man seized America's imagination. A "spirit 
       photographer," William Mumler took portrait photographs 
       that featured the ghostly presence of a lost loved one 
       alongside the living subject. Mumler was a sensation: The 
       affluent and influential came calling, including Mary Todd
       Lincoln, who arrived at his studio in disguise amidst 
       rumors of seances in the White House. Peter Manseau 
       brilliantly captures a nation wracked with grief and 
       hungry for proof of the existence of ghosts and for 
       contact with their dead husbands and sons. It took a 
       circus-like trial of Mumler on fraud charges, starring P. 
       T. Barnum for the prosecution, to expose a fault line of 
       doubt and manipulation. And even then, the judge sided 
       with the defense-nobody ever solved the mystery of his 
       spirit photography. This forgotten puzzle offers a vivid 
       snapshot of America at a crossroads in its history, a 
       nation in thrall to new technology while clinging 
       desperately to belief
