Inventing the railroad from beyond the grave to destroy the town that wronged her was definitely a baller move on Christina's part! Get it, girl! 😄

Another interesting video. Here in the UK, there's a history of burying 'witches', suicide victims and criminals at crossroads. We don't know why but it is thought it was to do with superstition that if they rose from the grave they'd not know which way they should travel. There are several sites across the country, best regards.

In regard to the first story, people accused Anne Boleyn of being a witch when King Henry VIII was captivated by her charms!

A rich man getting away with murder, what a novel concept and label the woman a witch. It's a pretty standard way to deal with this unfortunate situation for a child born out of wedlock at that time. A sad, but well told story. You really are a gifted storyteller!

There’s a tomb at a graveyard/cemetery in The area of Lansdale and MontgomeryVille Pennsylvania where there is a curse written on the stone to anyone who would mess with it. The old wives tale is that it is a witches tomb

My family has a plot up there. I never heard this.

I moved to & now live in Hanoverton, Ohio since July, 2023. I'm curious as to exactly where this particular cemetery is at. I find all this stuff so fascinating.

I have a shop in this town and there are many other stories of things that went on in this little town. The Spread Eagle tavern is haunted and other things. It's great to hear of something here

What a twisted tale. Being accused of being a witch just because your beautiful then being hung. Then the sad fate for the other woman . Great story John.

Ok. I'm now caught up to you. I know Youtube doesn't always inform when a new video is uploaded, so I will be checking in occasionally. This is quite a story. With as old as it is, I doubt we will ever have answers to the questions posed.

[BigSi-xwwv]

Love hearing you spin a yarn my friend. Its never just the story but its always the narrator.

[reddragonlegacy]

Will definitely watch later. Was scrolling by and was expecting more of a "Fritz Weatherbee" tone of voice. Honestly thought you might have been Fritz for a moment haha. And that definitely warrants at least a watch once the day settles down.
