The Foxy Fox Sisters

Welcome back, Dear Guests, to The Midnight Library. Tonight, your host, Miranda, will introduce you to The Famous Fox Sisters! Three wily women who took The Modern Spiritualist Movement by storm-

and left many a ghost in their wake. From a haunted old farmhouse, mysterious coded raps from another realm tapped out messages that put the women in the spotlight to perform their supernatural craft, driving throngs of people to pay them to contact their dearly departed loved ones. Please take your seat and meet: The Foxy Fox Sisters
