What happens when a ghost from 1673 appears to solve her own murder? Join us as we uncover the eerie tale of Rebecca Cornell, whose spirit allegedly revealed the grim details of her death to her brother. We'll set the stage with a playful debate on classic Chevy Chase and Steve Martin films, lightheartedly exposing Hannah's surprising lack of familiarity with "Christmas Vacation" and "Three Amigos." But the mood shifts dramatically as we traverse the dark corridors of history to explore the tragic hardships Rebecca faced and the disturbing events that followed her spectral visit.
Our journey through history continues with a chilling account of William Beadle, a Connecticut merchant whose life unraveled during the Revolutionary War, leading to the merciless slaughter of his entire family. We'll delve into Beadle's background, his twisted rationale, and the horrifying aftermath of his actions, including the townspeople's disturbing response. As we wrap up, we express our heartfelt gratitude to our loyal Wicked Wanderings community and invite you to stay curious, keep exploring, and always keep wandering with us.
