Show Notes
In this new episode, Crawlspace Media's Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna discuss the mysterious death of Rebecca Cornell from February 1673 in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Her death was initially ruled an accident, but the aftermath of Rebecca's death can only be described as spooky and tragic, as the apparition of Rebecca came to her brother after her death with led to a dramatic trial and public execution.
We're also joined by our listener, Susan Lester, to discuss her wild familial connection to this story.
