{170a} The agencies always made accusations, usually false. The knocking spirit at Kembden, near Bingen, in 856charged a priest with a scandalous intrigue. The raps on the bed ofthe children examined by the Franciscans, about 1530, assailed thereputation of a dead lady. When the Foxes, at Rochester, in 1848-49, set up alphabetic communication with the knocks, they told asilly tale of a murder. The Cock Lane ghost lied in the same way. The Fox girls started modern spiritualism on its wild andmis...chievous career, as Elizabeth Parsons might have done, in a morefavourable environment. There was never anything new in all thesecases. The lowest savages have their seances, levitations, bindingsof the medium, trance-speakers; Peruvians, Indians, have theirobjects moved without contact. Simon Magus, or St. Paul under thatoffensive pseudonym, was said to make the furniture move at will. {170b} There is a curious recent Cock Lane case in Ireland where 'theghost' brought no accusations against anybody.
