John Merrick was "The Elephant Man". He was infected with a rare genetic disease that caused lumpy tumors made of bone to sprout all over his body.
Margaret Fox was one of three sisters who claimed to be able to communicate with the spirits. One of the things they could get the spirits to do was knock on the walls. After the oldest of the sisters stole most of the money, Margaret and the other sister revealed that the whole thing was an act. Margaret made the knocking sounds by popping her toe joints.
The only message I get from the song, though, is the Devils saying that even though these people were 'freaks', at least they have a story worth telling... and that's why we actually despise them. But, the Devils know, and that's why they're asking The Elephant Man for forgiveness.
