American spirits : the famous Fox sisters and the mysterious fad that haunted a nation / Barb Rosenstock.

Rosenstock, Barb, (author.).

Summary:

"Rap. Rap. Rap. The eerie sound was first heard in March of 1848 at the home of the Fox family in Hydesville, New York. The family's two daughters, Kate and Maggie, soon discovered that they could communicate with the spirit that was making these uncanny noises. This strange incident, and the ones that followed, generated a media frenzy beyond anything the Fox sisters could have imagined"-- Provided by publisher.
