The Life and Afterlife of Mark Twain Redux

The Life and Afterlife of Mark Twain Redux

Mark Twain authored some of the most beloved stories in American literature and he lived an amazing life. This was a life of literary genius, but it was also one of financial ruin and immense pain when it came to his family life. He lived in many places and owned several homes with his home in Hartford, Connecticut being his favorite and he said of it that those years were the happiest of his life. Perhaps that is why he seems to have returned there as a spirit. Twain claimed that he didn't believe in all this nonsense about ghosts, but he joined the Society for Psychical Research and read all of their journals. We wonder if he perhaps, may believe in ghosts now. Join us as we explore the life and afterlife of Mark Twain.
