Two girls said they were hearing rapping from a spirit and answered it with snaps of their fingers. Spiritualism spread from that farmhouse to millions of followers within a decade. Forty years later one of the sisters demonstrated on a stage how she had made the sounds with her toe joints, then recanted the confession.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
