The Fox Sisters

from Haunted Happenings · host Barry Pirro

In 1848, 14-year-old Maggie Fox and her and 11-year-old sister Kate played a harmless prank on their mother. They convinced her that their house was haunted, and that they could communicate with the ghost. They would ask the spirit questions, and loud knocks would be heard in reply. Within weeks the girls were performing their spirit communication act on stage in front of hundreds of spectators. Over the next forty years, the sisters would swindle thousands of innocent people out of money, and a new religion called Spiritualism would emerge. But how could two little girls fool the entire world for so long? Join me as I tell the incredible story of the Fox Sisters.
