#5 Muse

At the turn of the century spiritualism is at a all time popularity. Guru’s of the time were used as advisers and confidants for the rich and famous. Jacobean Malcolm Muse was an adviser to many stage actresses in 1905-1908.  One of the most famous clients was actress Sara Bernard.  She said that Muse could make her fly and swoop around the stage with no use of wires or pulleys.

But Muse disappeared after a confrontation with Bernard.  Bernard claimed that Muse was becoming obtrusive in her life.  That he was changing her performances and influencing indecent behavior after hours.
