The author traces the history of these rappings from their origins in Western New York to their rapid spread across the nation and provides firsthand accounts of the experiences of those who witnessed and communicated with the rappings. In addition to investigating the circumstances and spread of the phenomenon, the author provides a historical overview of spiritualism, engaging with both the claims of skeptics who viewed the rappings as a hoax and the genuine belief of spiritualists who saw them as a form of communication from spirits of the dead.
