The Housewife Did It

On February 4th, 1820, the Constitutional Court of South Carolina sentenced Lavinia and John Fisher to be hanged. Two weeks later, the two stood on the gallows in front of the Old City Jail in Charleston, having handled the news of their execution very differently. John allowed the Reverend Richard Furman, a local minister, to read a letter he had written, in which he pointed out that he had accepted Christ into his life and could not be executed without telling the full truth. Which was that he was innocent of any crimes, and that he hoped God would show mercy to those who had wronged him by sentencing home to death. After the letter was read, John asked the crowd of 2000 to forgive him and spare him. His wife, on the other hand, simply said, “Save your words for others that want them. If you have any message you want to send to Hell, give it to me, and I’ll carry it!”Sources:Wikipedia (Lavinia Fisher, Old City Jail, Oleander)Buzzfeed UnsolvedGhost Tour of Old City JailFollow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Threads: @housewifediditpod Check out our website and merch at https://the-housewife-did-it.square.siteUse discount code MARY788 on any orders from Evry Jewels for money off of your order, including sale items!Use code HDI20 at Doich Foods for 20% off of snacking cookie dough, available in chocolate chip, sugar cookie, fudge brownie, and birthday cake.

In the late 1980s, a man named Wilbur Riddle was getting to know his soon-to-be son-in-law in Livingstron, TN by pulling out one of his best stories. It had, over time, begun to become an urban legend in their small Kentucky town. But, Wilbur was THERE. He knew the real story. In May of 1968, Wilbur Riddle was scavenging for glass insulators along Route 25 in Kentucky, in an attempt to help his friend who was using them for an art project. As he was looking, he came upon what seemed like a large tent wrapped up on the side of the road. As he got closer, he nudged the tent with his foot, and was overcome by the smell of decay, and it became clear that Wilbur had actually found the decomposing body of a woman wrapped in a heavy green tarp.

On the morning of January 15th, 1947, stay-at-home-mom Betty Bersinger was walking with her 3-year-old daughter on South Norton Avenue in Leimert Park, Los Angeles. As she walked by a vacant lot, she saw what appeared to be a discarded store mannequin laying on the ground. It was pale, undressed, and seemed to be broken in half. As she stepped closer, she saw that this was no mannequin. It was instead the nude body of a woman, who had been drained of blood, severed in half, and posed in a largely underdeveloped neighborhood midway between Coliseum Street and West 39th Street.Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Threads: @housewifediditpod Check out our website and merch at https://the-housewife-did-it.square.siteWe have an exciting opportunity for EVRY-one!

At around 6:30 PM on October 26th, 1965, police entered the home of Gertrude Baniszweski, after she had sent one of her children to call them from a nearby payphone. She led the officers to a makeshift bedroom in her basement, where the emaciated, beaten, and mutilated body of a teenage girl was lying on a soiled mattress. The girl was Sylvia Likens, a 16-year-old girl under Gertrude’s care. Gertrude handed the police a letter Sylvia had written to her parents, detailing her plan to run away, and explained that Sylvia had left with several teenage boys before returning naked from the waist up, and holding this note. She also showed them that she had been attempting, albeit unsuccessfully, to treat Sylvia’s wounds with rubbing alcohol. After showing investigators Sylvia’s body, Gertrude’s daughter, Paula, held tight to her Bible and announced to the room that Sylvia’s death was meant to happen, and that if Sylvia’s sister, Jenny, would like to continue living with them, they would eagerly treat her as their own sister. Police wanted to speak to Jenny, but when they did, they found her answers to be rigid, and almost rehearsed. She repeated almost exactly Gertrude’s version of events, but just as the officers were walking away, Jenny whispered to them, “You get me out of here and I’ll tell you everything.”Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Threads: @housewifediditpod Check out our website and merch at https://the-housewife-did-it.square.siteWe have an exciting opportunity for EVRY-one!

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the West Coast had been overtaken by an evangelical Protestant movement called the Jesus Movement. It spread across the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. In 1972, it also spread to Chattanooga, Tennessee, in the form of a group that has gone by many names: Vine Christian Community Church, Northeast Kingdom Community Church, the Messianic Communities, the Community Apostolic Order, and now, the Twelve Tribes.Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Threads: @housewifediditpod Check out our website and merch at https://the-housewife-did-it.square.siteWe have an exciting opportunity for EVRY-one!
