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.

“Is civilization only a higher form of idolatry, that man should bow down to a flesh-brush, to flannels, to baths, diet, exercise, and air?”
—Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)
“The majority of the men of the North, and of the South and East and West, are not men of principle. If they vote, they do not send men to Congress on errands of humanity; but while their brothers and sisters are being scourged and hung for loving liberty,... it is the mismanagement of wood and iron and stone and gold which concerns them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
