SplitfootA facetious name for the Devil, who is traditionally depicted with hooves, sometimes expressed as "Old Splitfoot" or "Mr. Splitfoot." When the Fox Sisters first encountered the mysterious rappings at Hydesville, New York, that supposedly heralded the beginnings of Spiritualism, the youngest child Cathie reportedly said "Mr. Splitfoot, do as I do" and clapped her hands; the raps immediately repeated her clapping. At first, Cathie thought somebody was tricking her, since it was the day before April Fools' Day. |
