The Devices And Daring Mediums That Spoke For The Dead
The spirits came calling in 1848. Through a series of startlingly loud
knocks, a murdered peddler named Charles Rosna started talking to two
teenage girls in their Hydesville, New York, home. Margaret and Kate
Fox, who could be the inspiration for Wednesday Addams with their dark
locks and solemn expressions, would ask the spirits questions out loud,
and to everyone's surprise, the spirits would answer.
The Fox sisters started the craze of Victorian Spiritualism. But
listening for raps got tedious so Spiritualists started to invent ways
for spirits to communicate. They developed
strange devices for the dead to write their thoughts down or to just point to the letters.
