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.
