Clara Robertson dating history

Details

Clara Robertson Zent (1857 – 1883) was a 19th century clairvoyant and medium. Robertson came to public attention in 1871 when the account of the schoolgirl in Memphis, Tennessee who had seen a ghost became sensationalized in local and national papers. The school, hurt in part by the scandal, closed in 1871. Robertson went on to become a performing clairvoyant and medium in local theaters. She appeared on stage, and offered séances and mediumship services until she died, aged 25, in 1883.
