Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained. I’m your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the weird, wonderful, unexplained, eerie, scary and down-right unbelievable. There will be tales of ghosts, murder, supernatural beings and unexplained mysteries. So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, relax and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma....
And on today’s Dark enigma you guys are in for a treat, because as a Mea Culpa for the delay in last week’s episode, I’m giving you a two for one this week. That’s right we’re going to be talking about a prolific serial killer and a ghost. So my lovelies, belly up to the bar and get your drinks, because today is an episode you don’t want to miss. This is a very special episode for all my dear friends in Charleston South Carolina and just a way for me to say Hey guys and I love you lots. As always, we will be playing our drinking game but once again, the drinking game is only for those of you that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight. So I’ve been saving this one, tonight’s drink of choice is shots of Southern Comfort… because everyone deserves a little Southern Comfort. So my heathens dare to put a little South in your Mouth and play the game. And with that, the game part… So every time I say Charleston that will be a single shot and every time I say Serial Killer, well that will be one hell of a double shot. Now that we have the business end out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… and the first female serial killer in the United States, Lavinia Fisher…
Legend has held that the first widely recognized first female serial killer in the United States is Lavinia Fisher, born in 1793, but, the location of her birth, her maiden name, or any information about her childhood, is unknown. Historical records do not agree with all of the legend but in the end, Fisher was hanged for her crimes.
Lavinia grew up to marry a man named John Fisher and the couple lived near Charleston, South Carolina. The pair made their living operating a hotel called the Six Mile Wayfarer House, which they managed in the early 1800’s. Mysteriously, men who were visiting Charleston began to disappear. As more and more reports were filed with the authorities regarding these missing men, it was determined that they were last seen at the Six Mile Wayfarer House, which was called such because it was six miles outside of Charleston.
Though the local authorities began an investigation, there was no evidence that the Fishers were involved. This, coupled with their popularity in the town, led to the investigation being dropped.
