The year is 1848, you find yourself in a dark, candle lit, dusty room, sitting around a table to witness the power of the Fox Sisters, and their ability to summon spirits from beyond the grave...so you think.
We wander into the world of the Fox Sisters, a group of 3 sisters from the mid-1800s who had stumbled upon a money making scheme...accidentally, maybe, planned sure. Their plans and schemes launched an entire generation of spiritualists, ghost hunters, and supernatural mentalists. Were they real, fakers, or a mixture of all of the above.
We dive into some of the psychology behind how these kind of schemes might work and why Houdini pops up in this story.
