Le sorelle Fox

In 1848, in the small community of Hydesville, New York, two young sisters claimed to be able to communicate with a spirit through mysterious knocks that resounded in the night. It was the beginning of a phenomenon destined to spread far beyond the confines of their wooden house, giving rise to modern spiritualism and a wave of mediumistic séances that would sweep across America and Europe. But who were the Fox sisters really? And what was behind those signs that many considered evidence of the afterlife? In this episode, we retrace a story suspended between faith and suggestion, which reveals much more than meets the eye about the fears, desires, and illusions of an entire century. Enjoy!
