This week Meg dives into the roots of the Spiritualism Movement in the United States- the Fox Sisters. We start by talking about the incident in 1848 New York which kicked off a career of celebrity mediumship for Maggie, Kate, and Leah Fox. Keep your ears and mind open, and let us know what you think!
Recorded and Edited by Meghan Pavlovsky and Allison Varca. Music by Mike Vontas.
