福克斯姐妹小屋

　　The Fox Sisters Cabin

　　福克斯姐妹小屋

　　Though less well-known than the other haunted places, the Fox Sisters cottage is perhaps the most important haunted house of all, since the phenomena here in many ways set the standard for later hauntings and even launched a religion.

　　In 1848 Hydesville, western New York, two young sisters named Maggie and Katie Fox began supposedly communicating with the ghost of a murdered peddler. The sisters, in a sort of crude seance, would ask questions of the spirit, who would answer back with mysterious knocks or raps. Many people, including their mother, were amazed at what seemed to be genuine contact with the dead. Both sisters eventually admitted that they had actually faked the sounds--there had been no murdered peddler, it had all been a prank. The women even demonstrated how they had done it. But by then the belief had taken on a life of its own as a religion called Spiritualism, which is still practiced today.

　　虽然比起其他闹鬼的地方，

福克斯姐妹小屋不是那么有名，但是因为这里的闹鬼的现象，甚至还发起了一个信仰，所以说来它应该是所有闹鬼的小屋中最有名的那个了吧。在1848年纽约西部的Hydesville， 两个年轻的女孩子，Maggie和Katie Fox姐妹开始了想象中的和鬼魂对话的招魂术者。这对姐妹，利用一种拙劣的降神会，向灵魂问问题，而灵魂会利用神秘的敲击声或叩击来回答。许多人，包括她们的母亲都对这个和死者进行的真实联系表示惊讶。姐妹最终承认她们实际上伪造了声响--根本没有招魂术者，通通都是骗局。姐妹甚至还演示了她们如何行骗。但是该信仰最终形成了一种教派，叫做招魂说，并流传至今。

　　沪江小编：估计后来流行的笔仙碟仙之类的招魂游戏就是从这姐俩这儿来的。
