And in a half trance, she started reciting poetry.

According to the book American Spirits, The Famous Fox Sisters and the Mysterious Fad that Haunted a Nation by Barb Rosenstock, the still woozy Kate began reciting religious poetry like an automaton, at least a hundred lines in a row.

As the recitation trailed off, she awoke fully and began sobbing.

Through her tears, Kate said she'd seen the peddler, the knife, and the blood.
