Emma Hardinge Britten was born in London in 1823. From an early age she displayed clairvoyant ability, but at the age of 32 she moved to New York to become an actress.
A year later she acurately predicted the sinking of the steamship Pacific, and was visited by a deceased passenger from the doomed steamship, which served to re-ignite her interest in Spiritualism.
Emma quickly became a popular Spiritualist writer, lecturer and demonstrator across the United States.
