Communicating with the dead became a worldwide phenomenon beginning with two little girls in Hydesville, New York in 1848. Maggie Fox led an eventful and tragic life. In addition to sparking the spiritualist movement, she was engaged to an Arctic explorer and attempted to snuff out the very movement she helped launch. But was she really channeling the spirits of the dead or was she perpetrating one of America's greatest hoaxes?
