The Eddy Brothers were Wiliam and Horatio Eddy, best known in the 1870s, who claimed psychic powers.
It was claimed that their family could be traced back to the Salem witch trials, and that they had a long history of psychic ability. If reports can be believed, these abilities seemed to be concentrated in the brothers, which would make them two powerful supernatural magnets and spiritual mediums.

Famous quotes containing the words eddy and/or brothers:
“The small perplexities of small minds eddy and boil about you. Confident from the experience that has led you out of these same dangers, you attack each problem as it appears, unafraid.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“When we choose to be parents, we accept another human being as part of ourselves, and a large part of our emotional selves will stay with that person as long as we live. From that time on, there will be another person on this earth whose orbit around us will affect us as surely as the moon affects the tides, and affect us in some ways more deeply than anyone else can. Our children are extensions of ourselves in ways our parents are not, nor our brothers and sisters, nor our spouses.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
