Lily Dale, the town of mediums

Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.

The story

On the shore of Cassadaga Lake sits Lily Dale, the largest and oldest spiritualist community in the world, founded in 1879, where the dead are said to speak through the town’s registered mediums as they have for a century and a half. Its Inspiration Stump in the leafy grove holds public message services all summer. Whatever you believe, the town is entirely real, and it takes its work seriously.
