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.
