Ep 7 - The True Crimes of Lavinia Fisher: Old City Jail's Most Famous Ghost

The traditional story of Lavinia Fisher is one of extremes: that she was the first female serial killer in America, that she was the first woman executed by hanging in America, that she killed men by poisoned tea and a trapdoor before her husband cut up their bodies.

The gory details of Lavinia’s life and her aggressive hauntings in Charleston’s Old City Jail are well known—but are they true? Join Robin and Zoey as they discuss the true story of Lavinia Fisher and dive into sightings and experiences of her ghost.

In Something Southern, Zoey and Robin talk about famed southern celebrities like the Allman brothers and Criminal Minds actor Thomas Gibson.

Some extra fun goodies in this episode: a Charleston-style update on our very first subject, Mary the Wanderer, and a promo for Uncited: An English Lit Podcast!
