At first glance, the tiny community of Cassadaga is nothing out of the ordinary. Nestled in in the heart of central Florida and surrounded by lakes and forest, the sleepy town may not seem like much - but there's something quite peculiar about it.This town is known as the "Psychic Capital of the World."Of the village's roughly 100 inhabitants, over half are practicing psychic mediums. When photographer Christiaan Lopez-Miro heard about the town, he was instantly intrigued."I've always been fascinated with magic and illusion, as well as the intrigue of the occult," he said. "When I found out about Cassadaga, I instantly thought of ... ghosts and all the things one would usually think of when told there is a town where all its residents are psychics, healers and mediums. Of course I wanted to explore it further."He initially planned to photography psychic waiting rooms, but the draw of the mysterious little town grew. On a journey through central Florida, Lopez-Miro took his cameras with him on a side trip to Cassadaga and began knocking on doors. What he discovered was a place both otherworldly yet completely mundane. He shared the incredible images from his project with us.
