This began on 2 February 1834 and was alleged to have lasted fifty three days. He described his experiences in this book.\nThe mysterious bell ringing was sensationalised by paranormal writers as evidence for poltergeist activity. However, the case was critically examined by Trevor H. Hall who concluded that Moor was not a reliable witness and had been duped by one of his servants playing a practical joke. Other writers have suggested that Moor was responsible for the bell ringing and the entire case was a hoax. Author Daniel Cohen wrote that there was \"more than a suspicion\" that Moor had played a joke on everyone and his book \"may have been conceived as a gentle satire on investigations of other odd phenomena.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading\"\u003eHCX22626-1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Heartwood Books and Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44009893429359,"sku":"HCX22626-1","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/1291\/4287\/files\/57_d043c444-87c9-4be0-9a75-70197c065934.jpg?v=1766522237","url":"https:\/\/heartwoodbooksandart.com\/products\/bealings-bells-by-major-edward-moor-first-edition-rare","provider":"Heartwood Books and Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
