The Tragic Case of Leo Frank

  • Summary

  • Prepare to be captivated by the heart-wrenching and mysterious tales that lie at the very heart of Southern history. I'm Carole Townsend, and in this gripping episode, we revisit the tragic story of Mary Fagan, a young girl whose life was brutally ended at the National Pencil Company in Atlanta in 1913. Discover the eerie circumstances surrounding her death and the harrowing investigation that ensued, drawing Leo Frank, a Jewish factory superintendent, into a maelstrom of suspicion fueled by the racial and anti-Semitic tensions of the post-Civil War South.

    Journey further into the dark history with the infamous trial and lynching of Leo Frank, whose case became a lightning rod for societal unrest and media sensationalism. We'll also uncover the spine-chilling legend of the Bell Witch in Tennessee, delving into whether this haunting was a masterful hoax or a true supernatural occurrence. With my extensive research and storytelling, I promise you an episode that not only illuminates the injustices and mysteries of our past but also keeps you on the edge of your seat.
