The Fox Sisters: The Girls Who Talked to the Dead

Two young sisters claimed the knocking in their walls was a spirit answering their questions, and from that prank grew a movement of millions who believed the living could speak with the dead. This is the true history of how a childish trick became a religion.

On Six Feet of History, host August Mercer tells the real story of the Fox sisters and the birth of Spiritualism: the knocks, the séances that swept America, the public confession decades later that it was all a fraud, and the grief that no confession could ever touch.
