Hello Constant listener! Happy election year here in the US. I thought this upcoming episode should be focused on a ghost of a founding father. But as I was able to take a closer look at a certain haunted location in New York City, did I realize what ghost story I was looking at. Join me for The Manhattan Well Murder. I’ll see you soon.
SECTION:
“Let me tell you about the year 1799 in New York City. It’s a port and countryside town. When you look in the newspapers during the turn of the century, green coffee and Havana sugar were in high trade for sale. Horse and carriages lined the streets. And an advertisement for the curious asks patrons to spend a quarter of a dollar at your local tavern to see the Green Dragon (also known as the curious Lavana).
These were the common items reported in the daily newspapers in December of 1799. However American tastes for newspaper headlines changed in January of 1800. Because on January 2nd, a woman’s body was discovered and dredged up from the deep. She was bloated from sitting in water for over 10 days. Her neck was purpled, consistent with strangulation before she ever had a chance to drown in the dark abyss that was the well.”
