I REQUEST IN IMEDDIATE REWRITE OF THIS ARTICLE!!!!! I myself am an enthusiast for reading about Ghost Stories, both fictional and historical, and THIS gives the impression that the Parsons MUST be guilty. The article cites the board of investigation, but one thing should be made VERY clear: The board's focus was on the Parsons and ONLY on the Parsons. First, they had Betty being bound physically by a maid during bedtime. The Knocking continued. Then they bound her with chains, and the knocking stopped. Then the utter morons who passed for learned people decided that SOMEHOW she managed to get up and create the knocking without disturbing the maid. So for the final test they left her alone in bed, with the notice that if there was no knocking that night, HER ENTIRE FAMILY WOULD BE ARRESTED!!!! Then they drill a peephole in the door and are utterly suprised that she resorted to knocking. AND CAN ANYONE BLAME HER???? Damned if you do, damned if you don't. After that the Parsons and everyone who supported them were publically castrated and treated miserably. Furthermore, when they actually found the body of the woman they believe to be the late Miss Kent, the discoverers noted that, unlike the illness she supposidly died of, they noted her facial features were very much intact, A COMMON SYMPTOM ON THE BODIES OF THOSE WHO DIED OF ARSCNIC POISON!!!! THIS ARTICLE MUST RE REVISED FOR IT DOES NOT BRING UP THE POSSIBILITY FOR THE PARSONS BEING INNOCENT AND KENT BEING GUILTY DESPITE EVIDENCE SUPPORTING THAT VIEW!!!! ELV
[edit] Professional writing style
To the person above, calm down and sign your comments.
As for the article, I have edited some of the style to make in more encyclopedic. I believe this to be an excellent article, factually, but a few things need to be changed.
Good job to whoever wrote this, and again for the person above, the idea of the Wikipedia is that you may add or subtract whatever you see fit from the article

Just edited out the "sex and murder" line at the opening. Whoever re-wrote the article did a great job, congrats.

- That would be me. And I do sign my posts, albiet in a different fashion than most: ELV. I got sick and tired of waiting for a response, and how this was basically a smear-job on the Parsons, and I took matters into my own hands. ELV
