Mr Split-Foot Visits the Fox Sisters

from Hobsession · host Selkie and the Anchoress

 People often joke about starting up a religious movement, but in late 1840’s New York, two kids unintentionally did just that.  Maggie and Kate Fox played a prank on their mother that was taken so seriously that the consequences reverberated around the world. Trapped in their own lies and living under the control of a fearsome older sister, Maggie and Kate became the unwitting founders of a spiritual movement that upended their own lives with tragic results.
