The conversation explores the rise and fall of the Fox Sisters, who ignited the spiritualist movement in the 19th century through their claimed ability to communicate with spirits. Starting with mysterious events in their home, the sisters gained fame and fortune but ultimately faced personal struggles and public scrutiny. Their eventual confession of deception marked a significant turning point for spiritualism, revealing the complexities of belief and the human desire for connection with the afterlife.

This week, while Sarah's living it up in New York City, Adell is kicking off May by celebrating some serious bad seeds. In honor of the month that honors mothers, we're turning the spotlight on five women who were anything but traditional: the tormented Anneliese Michel, the mischievous Fox Sisters, the accused of the Salem Witch Trials, the rebel spirit Lilith, and Scotland's last witch, Helen Duncan. From possession to séances to legends that refused to die, these bad mama jamas shook history — and we're here for every haunted minute of it.

Les sœurs Fox, Margaret et Kate, sont souvent considérées comme les fondatrices du spiritisme moderne. Pourtant, derrière leur célébrité et leur influence sur le mouvement spirituel du XIXᵉ siècle, se cache une gigantesque imposture qui a trompé des milliers de personnes pendant des décennies.Les débuts du phénomène spirituelEn 1848, Margaret (15 ans) et Kate Fox (11 ans) vivent à Hydesville, un petit village de l'État de New York, avec leurs parents. Un soir, elles prétendent entendre des bruits étranges dans leur maison : des coups frappés, qui semblent répondre à leurs questions. Elles déclarent qu'un esprit communique avec elles, affirmant être celui d'un colporteur assassiné dans la maison.Rapidement, la nouvelle se répand et attire la curiosité. Un système de communication est mis au point : une frappe pour "oui", deux frappes pour "non". La famille Fox et leurs voisins sont convaincus d'assister à un phénomène surnaturel. L'histoire prend de l'ampleur et bientôt, des séances de spiritisme sont organisées publiquement.L'essor du spiritisme et la célébrité des sœurs FoxEncouragées par leur sœur aînée Leah, qui voit une opportunité lucrative, les deux jeunes filles commencent à donner des démonstrations à New York et dans d'autres grandes villes. Elles deviennent de véritables stars du spiritisme, inspirant d'autres médiums et contribuant à la popularité croissante du mouvement.Dans les années 1850, le spiritisme devient un phénomène mondial, séduisant des millions de personnes, y compris des intellectuels et des écrivains célèbres comme Arthur Conan Doyle. Les Fox Sisters en sont les figures de proue, organisant des séances où elles entrent en contact avec les morts, sous les yeux de spectateurs fascinés.L'aveu de la supercherieMais en 1888, Margaret Fox fait une révélation fracassante : tout était faux. Lors d'une conférence publique, elle explique que les bruits étaient produits par un craquement des articulations de leurs orteils et de leurs genoux, un talent qu'elles avaient développé dès l'enfance. Pour prouver ses dires, elle réalise la démonstration devant des témoins, mettant fin au mystère.Cette confession choque leurs partisans et affaiblit le mouvement spirite. Mais malgré tout, le spiritisme perdure encore aujourd'hui, preuve de l'impact durable de leur supercherie.ConclusionLes sœurs Fox ont bâti une légende sur un trucage habile, donnant naissance à un mouvement qui a marqué le XIXᵉ siècle. Leur histoire est un exemple fascinant de la crédulité humaine et de la puissance du désir de croire en l'invisible. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

A chilling thought. But when you know that a serial killer is on the loose, you look at each stranger you meet as a potentially dangerous encounter. And right now in the UK they have a serial killer still at large targeting easy victims… the country's elderly. (UK's Senior Citizen Serial Killer) *** While the Spiritualism Movement caught fire in the 1840's with the Fox Sisters and stayed fairly strong for some time, after the 1920s most of the teachings and those soaking it in began to dwindle. Strangely though, there seems to be a kind of resurging interest in one particular man's writings here in the 21st century. Many are intrigued by the “secret teachings” of Manly P. Hall. (The Secret Teachings of Manly P. Hall) *** In May, 1987, Kenneth Parks walked into a police station and confessed, “I just killed two people; I've just killed my mother‑ and father‑in‑law.  I stabbed and beat them to death.  It's all my fault." Case closed, right? Well no… because it appears he might've been sleepwalking when he committed the murders. (The Sleepwalker Defense) *** When the body of Elva Shue was found next to her bed, it was assumed to be an accident. But her spirit refused to rest until someone investigated further. Her ghost was crying murder. (The Ghost That Solved a Murder) *** Clarita Villanueva was orphaned before she was teenager. With no one to care for her, Clarita began living on the streets of Manila, dancing for money and prostituting herself to degenerates. But things were about to get even worse for the poor girl… demonically worse.

Christian paranormal researcher Matt Arnold joins The Paranormal Peep Show for Nov 2024. He was a speaker at the Seriously Strange Conference at Winchester University in August 2024, run by ASSAP https://www.assap.ac.uk/about/confere...Matt is the author of the web site https://ghostsghoulsandgod.co.uk/ and also his book The Invisible Dimension, where he explores the Bible texts and the biblical interpretation of ghosts and spirits and gives a refreshing insight into the paranormal from a Christian point of view. Are all ghosts really demons from Hell? Where does the word Hell come from? Matt says 'Instead of attempting to read the Bible through a 21st-century mindset – itself steeped in our inherited cultures, rich in dogmas, creeds, confessions of faith, and other influences – The Invisible Dimension helps the reader immerse themselves in the variety of contexts of the biblical writers, whether culturally, historically, theologically, or literary, by exploring the writers' worlds in their particular times and places. What did the words they used mean to them when they wrote them down?'Also discussed in the show : Poltergeists, The Fox Sisters who started the Spiritualism movement, Leslie Flint voice medium, UFOS, haunted castles, sceptics, and a whole host of other paranormal topics.Joining Matt in this exploration of ghosts in the Bible, is regular hosts, Andy Chaplin, Neil Ward, and special guest host, Ben Emlyn-Jones.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paranormal-uk-radio-network--4541473/support.

This week, to continue our "Month of Macabre", Stauney and Sadie explore the Victorian era's obsession with death and its intricate mourning traditions—hair art, death portraits, and mourning dolls—all shaped by high mortality rates. Amid this fascination with the afterlife, we discuss the phenomenon of the Fox Sisters claiming to communicate with spirits and therefore sparking the rise of spiritualism. Join us as we dive into how the sisters deceived society and discover how their story became intertwined with 19th-century death culture and the ongoing search for connection beyond the grave.

This week I am reeading from Marc Hartzman's book 'Chasing Ghosts: A Tour of Our Fascination with Spirits and the Supernatural'.Take a spirited tour through the supernatural history of America, from its haunted sites to its famous ghosts to its ghost-obsessed pop culture.Ghosts are everywhere—whether you believe in them or not. Every town has its local legends, and countless books, movies, and TV shows are haunted by their presence. But our obsession with ghosts runs deeper than we know—and is embedded in the very fabric of American history. Writer and historian Marc Hartzman takes readers on a fascinating journey through supernatural history, including: • The Fox Sisters and the rise of Spiritualism • The supernatural obsessions of famous figures like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle • Famous haunted sites like the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia and the LaLaurie House in New Orleans • Famous ghosts like the Bell Witch of Tennessee and the Greenbrier Ghost of West Virginia • Paranormal investigators like Ed and Lorraine Warren Deeply researched and highly entertaining, with archival images and black and white illustrations, Chasing Ghosts will satisfy believers and skeptics alike. BioABCnews.com has called Marc Hartzman "one of America's leading connoisseurs of the bizarre" and George Noory from Coast to Coast AM said he's "as bizarre as Robert Ripley." Hartzman considers both high compliments since his passion for the unusual started with Ripley's Believe It Or Not and the annual Guinness World Records books during his youth. In addition to his books about Mars, Oliver Cromwell's embalmed head, weird things on eBay, sideshow performers, and unorthodox messages from God, Hartzman has written for Mental Floss, the Huffington Post, AOL Weird News, and Bizarre magazine. He's discussed oddities on CNN, MSNBC, Ripley's Radio, and the Travel Channel's Mysteries at the Museum. More of his love for the unusual can be found on his site, WeirdHistorian.com. Outside of these projects, Hartzman earns a living as an award-winning advertising creative director.Amazon link http://tinyurl.com/287bucx3https://www.marchartzmanbooks.com/https://www.weirdhistorian.com/https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/pastlivespodcast

PLEASE SHARE THIS EPISODE in your social media so others who love strange and macabre stories can listen too! https://weirddarkness.com/girl-bitten-by-devils/IN THIS EPISODE: It's been said that the average person walks past at least sixteen murderers in their lifetime. A chilling thought. But when you know that a serial killer is on the loose, you look at each stranger you meet as a potentially dangerous encounter. And right now in the UK they have a serial killer still at large targeting easy victims… the country's elderly. (UK's Senior Citizen Serial Killer) *** While the Spiritualism Movement caught fire in the 1840's with the Fox Sisters and stayed fairly strong for some time, after the 1920s most of the teachings and those soaking it in began to dwindle. Strangely though, there seems to be a kind of resurging interest in one particular man's writings here in the 21st century. Many are intrigued by the “secret teachings” of Manly P. Hall. (The Secret Teachings of Manly P. Hall) *** In May, 1987, Kenneth Parks walked into a police station and confessed, “I just killed two people; I've just killed my mother‑ and father‑in‑law. I stabbed and beat them to death. It's all my fault." Case closed, right? Well no… because it appears he might've been sleepwalking when he committed the murders. (The Sleepwalker Defense) *** When the body of Elva Shue was found next to her bed, it was assumed to be an accident. But her spirit refused to rest until someone investigated further. Her ghost was crying murder. (The Ghost That Solved a Murder) *** Clarita Villanueva was orphaned before she was teenager. With no one to care for her, Clarita began living on the streets of Manila, dancing for money and prostituting herself to degenerates. But things were about to get even worse for the poor girl… demonically worse.

Known for his chaotic and anarchic nature, Joker's origin is shrouded in mystery, with multiple conflicting stories about his past. What remains consistent is his penchant for mayhem, a sadistic sense of humor, and a distinctive appearance marked by green hair, a warped smile, and flamboyant purple attire. The Joker's unpredictable and nihilistic behavior, coupled with his complex relationship with the Dark Knight, has solidified him as a symbol of chaos and madness, making him a fascinating and enduring character.Includes tracks by: The Treblemakers, Meantraitors, The VooDuo, Fox Sisters, Thee Headcoats, Ricochets, and more.  Join me on my Patreon page at patreon.com/radioblivion Blow Yer Radio Up, Baby!!

  Patrick's candid interview with the "Queen of the Paranormal" herself, Most Haunted's Yvette Fielding. She's a true pioneer in paranormal television, and she shares her thoughts on everything from how she thinks spirits communicate to SNL's hilarious 2006 parody of Yvette and Most Haunted. She looks back on the traumatizing 30 East Drive episode and a Most Haunted event where guests got stuck in a prison cell. How does the UK's Most Haunted compare to American paranormal television? Plus, did you know that there are 76 Most Haunted episodes that haven't seen the light of day? Listen to find out why! Visit BigSeance.com/240 for more info. Other Listening Options Direct Download Link   In this episode: Intro :00 Yvette Fielding has been crowned by many as “Queen of the Paranormal”, “Queen of the Night”, or even “First Lady of the Paranormal.” Listeners from the US will no doubt know Yvette as the star of the hit paranormal TV series from the UK, Most Haunted. She and her husband, Karl Beattie, first created and produced the show in 2002, making them true pioneers in paranormal TV. They've been producing the show ever since. If you're a listener outside of the US, you may actually know Yvette originally from Blue Peter, a British TV show, which is the longest-running children's TV show in the world. Yvette was the youngest presenter ever on that show, and she even interviewed Princess Diana! She's the author of a series of new young adult fiction, and she has a memoir coming out next year! :50 Welcome to the parlor, Yvette! 2:44 Yvette and her husband live in a house that is 400 years old! 3:20 Patrick had a lot to catch up on with Yvette and Most Haunted! 3:56 Where can you find Most Haunted these days? Plus Most Haunted has gone on the road with stage shows! 6:41 Investigate with Yvette and the team with Most Haunted Experiences! 9:25 Where does the knocking at tapping come from? And if it's paranormal, how do spirits produce it? 10:40 Yvette's calls for science to take the paranormal more seriously. 13:07 Looking back at Saturday Night Live's hilarious 2006 parody of Yvette and Most Haunted. 17:07 “I broke wind with fear!” 18:38 Building up energy with a trusted group of people. The current Most Haunted team has been together for several years. 20:00 Yvette's tapping board and the story of the Fox Sisters in the early days of Spiritualism. 22:25 Patrick compares the UK's Most Haunted to American paranormal TV. 23:55 Yvette says she doesn't watch other paranormal TV shows. She also doesn't watch horror films. After a terrorizing investigation, she drives home listening to Mary Poppins. 26:48 “How many weeks rehearsal do you do?” A number of years ago, Yvette and her husband talked to American producers of paranormal TV. 28:24 Patrick urges American listeners to check out Most Haunted if they haven't yet. 31:25 Yvette and her husband have 76 episodes on a shelf that haven't seen the light of day, because they're “so bloody boring!” 34:20 It only takes one doubting or skeptic person to block activity from spirit. Yvette calls these people “muters.” 34:57 Most Haunted almost always has Glen Hunt or another parapsychologist or openminded skeptic on every investigation. 36:53 Looking back on the 30 East Drive episode, one of the most traumatizing investigations the team has ever been on. When the Lights Went Out is a 2012 film based on events at this location. 39:16 Burns, stitches, and scars inflicted by spirits. “It can be quite a scary occupation, and a bit dangerous, as well. So you have to be careful.” 48:14 Stuck in a prison cell. Looking back on the investigation at Accrington Police Station & Courts. 49:21 Patrick wants to see a crossover episode of Most Haunted here in the US, or a guest appearance by Yvette Fielding on an American paranormal TV show! It's time! 51:47 “Just before I started Most Haunted, I didn't believe in life after death. I really, really didn't, Patrick, and it really affected my life.” Final thoughts from Yvette. 52:30 Outro 54:16 A special THANK YOU to Patreon supporters at the Super Paranerd and Parlor Guest level! 55:36   For more on Yvette Fielding: Most Haunted Experience Most Haunted: The Stage Show Most Haunted (YouTube) Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding (Podcast) Yvette Fielding's Books on Amazon Instagram: @realyfielding     The Big Seance Podcast can be found right here, on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn Radio, Amazon Music, Audible, iHeart Radio, and YouTube.

After a quick discussion about how A.I. made the new Beatles song poassible and a look at Apple's Scary Fast event, Brian and Angelo dig into the history of the ouija board, and discuss the origins and the dangers associated with it.

In 1848, the Fox family prepared to go to bed as usual, but the darkness was punctuated by mysterious rapping noises for which they could find no source. Through hours of terrified questioning, they eventually discovered that it was the ghost of a peddler murdered by a previous resident. Or so the story goes. . . Kate, Maggie, and Leah Fox became the most famous mediums of 19th century America, giving rise to the worldwide movement of Spiritualism and leading thousands about thousands of their fellow Victorians to seek comfort and answers from their beloved dead. Were they really in touch with spirits from the other side? Or were they master deceivers? Or something else? Listen to find out! Happy Halloween!

Flying cats, cracking joints, and hysterical nuns oh my! First, Emily tells a tale that seems perfectly crafted for her- when the nuns in an isolated French convent begin caterwauling without end, the townsfolk call in the police put a stop to the meowing musical.

Every year around Halloween, millions of teenagers, drunk adults, and terrified believers gather around Ouija boards to contact "The Other Side." We've all been a part of it, and we know we weren't moving that little thing, but it was definitely moving. So what’s really going on here? Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and fact-checker, comedian, and podcast host David C. Smalley break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss: How a pair of sisters playing a prank on their parents in upstate New York escalated into a spiritualism craze that took the 19th century United States — and then the world — by storm. The Medieval Chinese origins and evolution of what we know today as the Ouija board. How the spiritualism craze boosted the Ouija board's adoption into millions of households (even outselling Monopoly in 1967). The indelible marks the Ouija board has made on our lives — from pop culture to the law. The science behind what makes the Ouija board "work." Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
