The Fox sisters have a dirty secret they’re ready to share. They’ve been talking to the town peddler, Mr. Splitfoot ... who’s been murdered, dead and buried for five years. His dearly departed soul is haunting his old home in Hydesville, New York, where the girls now live. Don’t you believe them? You are cordially invited to an evening with Leah, Maggie, Kate, and the devil. Join the séance and witness for yourself the spiritual powers of The Incredible Fox Sisters.
