The eldest of the Fox sisters tells, from her memories and a mass of family letters, how mysterious knockings in a Hydesville farmhouse in 1848 grew into the spiritualist movement. She follows the family to Rochester, through public investigations, hostile crowds and devoted converts, presenting every manifestation as genuine and answering the critics who called them fraud.
