114 - The Fox Sisters and Spiritualism

We discuss the Fox sisters, the famous “spirit mediums” who helped many people connect with their loved ones who had passed onto the other side. They played an important role in the creation of Spiritualism in the 1800’s and also have an interesting connection to Dan Aykroyd and the movie Ghostbusters.
