19 - The Fox Sisters Hoax

from What in the Sam Hill?! Hosted by Erin Cain

The Fox Sisters famously started the Spiritualism movement with a hoax in 1848. But today I’m talking about the cracking of toes, a famous explorer getting swindled, a printing press run by ghosts, and a dysfunctional family of garbage humans. Links.
