Mary Langley was born Mary Hinderer in Ohio in the 1880s. In her early years, she and her family moved to Indiana near Camp Chesterfield, a popular community for spiritualists and mediums. By the 1920s, Mary was a successful medium, traveling regionally to offer her services. By the mid-1920s she was working in Covington, where she was arrested and put on trial for disorderly conduct. The local authorities believed Mary Langley was a fraud after exposing her by raiding a séance at her home. Her dedicated followers disagreed, and many continued to defend her in the days leading up to her trial. Most of my research for this episode came from The Kentucky Post archives.
