Mormons, Adventists and Ghosts, Oh My! The Burned Over District Part 2 of 4

Americans in the burned-over district of New York took God into their own hands and radically reimagined what Christianity and spirituality were all about. Learn how the spontaneous uprisings and communities of upstate New York affect the religious landscape of America today.

Part 2 covers the first crop of eccentric New York spiritualists: The first trans American, the Public Universal Friend; celibate communists known as Shakers; and William Miller's apocalyptic predictions that created Adventism.
