Fox sisters

Margaret and Kate Fox are generally seen as the creators of Spiritualism. Residents of Hydesville, NY, the two sisters conducted various channelling sessions in 1848, supposedly communicating with the spirits of the deceased through rappings and a procedure reminescent of the Ouija board.

They had a long yet controversial mediunic career that sparked an enthusiastic Spiritualist movement. Margaret Fox exposed herself and her sister as frauds in 1888, but many Spiritualists simply did not believe her. She later repented her own denounce and claimed to have been paid money to make her exposure.

While rarely mentioned, the Fox sisters are a likely influence on the work of Allan Kardec.
