**Things That Go Bump: Explore Victorian spiritualism with members of the Mourning Society of St. Louis from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 20, at the historic General Daniel Bissell House, 10225 Bellefontaine Road in North County.

Mourning Society members will present a fascinating overview of spirit communications as they were conducted in the 19th century, from the early spirit rapping cases to automatic writing, séances and spirit cabinets.
