René Guènon writes in his book "Errore dello spiritismo" that the Fox sisters have been Germans and that their real name was Voss. Could it be true?
Just a thought: Is someone who cares to point errors in other creeds someone to be trusted? Mr. Guènon has surely never studied seriously the Spiritist Doctrine, otherwise he would never have written such a book.

[edit] Neutral Point of View?
I don't think this article is written from a neutral point of view. Instead it seems to come from a "Spiritualist" point of view.
-- I Agree, This whole article is a waste of space.
- I added the POV tag. This can't even be called bias, the article is written entirely as if it was all factual truth. It most likely needs a complete rewrite. A few pointers:
- Wikipedia does not believe in Spiritualism. It does not disbelieve it, either, Wikipedia is neutral. That means the article must be written from a neutral perspective, and any Spiritualist (or contrary) claim must be unmistakingly attributed to whoever made it, it cannot be stated as if it was the article's opinion.
- This article does not show any controversy. As I said before, it would have to improve before it could be called just "biased". This has to be addressed.
- I'm wondering how it stayed like this for so long.AoS1014 19:41, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

- Guys, this is an article about religion, so the sneering tone is a bit out of place: do you see any attempt in the Jesus article to question whether he really turned the water into wine? If you are going to actually do some work here (rather than strike supercilious poses), an article that would serve as a good role model might be the Joseph Smith, Jr. article. Smith was a religious figure from much the same cultural milieu, who made similar claims about contact with the supernatural, who had a similar effect in attracting large numbers of adherents. The article on Smith strikes a pretty good balance between believers and skeptics. Go to it lads! --Anthon.Eff 02:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- It's been over two months since AoS1014 put up the POV tag, and he never returned to do any editing or even to discuss the article on the talk page. I am now removing the POV tag--if anyone cares to replace it, please commit yourself to doing some work on the article. Thanks. --Anthon.Eff 21:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Charles Rosana
I can't remember where, but I read somewhere that Mr Split-Foot identified his killer as "CF" and folks later tracked down Mr. Rosana. I'll have to go look it up myself but that is how I understood the story. I am new to this whole thing and if I have committed a wiki-faux pas, please let me know.
-- hfodf: By accident I found this PDF file http://www.woodlandway.org/PDF/Leslie_Price_PP9.pdf : "PSYPIONEER, An Electronic Newsletter from London, Volume 1 No 9 January 2005." I remember reading it discussing the killer of Rosna (or Rosma?). It also holds a discussion about the name being Rosna/Rosma (that was my intrest).
The usual persecution of Atheists against FACTS that don't fit theyr religious beliefs! "A waste of space" says one of them. Well, that quite a a statement... Ricardo Gomes/Portugal —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.129.235.235 (talk) 17:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
