Note 6 — Chapter I · THE FOUNDERS OF MODERN SPIRITUALISM
Reading edition
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in his book, “Our American Adventures,” states:
“The original house was removed by pious hands and reconstructed, as I understand it, at Lily Dale. It is not generally known that when it was pulled down or it may have been before, the bones of the murdered peddler and his tin box were discovered buried in the cellar, as was stated in the original rappings. The rappings were in 1848, the discovery in 1903. What have our opponents to say to this?”
According to Margaret Fox’s confession, Doyle’s statements are misleading and contrary to the facts.
