| Description | Margaret Fox (1836–1893) was an American Spiritualist, born in Bath, Canada. In approximately 1848, in Hydesville, Wayne, County, NY, the Foxes claimed to hear rapping noises, which appeared to emit from the walls and furniture, in their residence. Margaret and her two sisters, Catherine and Leah, discovered that by means of a given code, communication could be established with presumably supernatural agency by which the raps were produced. The Fox sisters gave public séances in America and Europe. Margaret confessed to being fraud, and then retracted the confession. Wikipedia page |
