Description For five days in December 1908 the body of Cyrus Teed lay in a bathtub at a beach house just south of Fort Myers, Florida.
As his corpse turned black, they declared that their leader was tran.
They saw his belly fall and rise with breath, even though his swollen tongue sealed his mouth.
They watched hieroglyphics emerge on his skin and observed what looked like the formation of a third arm.
His followers, the Koreshans, waited for signs that he was coming back to life.
