On this episode we go back to 1799 and discuss a mass ghost sighting from Sullivan, ME. Over a 100 witnesses witnessed and fully interacted with the dead wife of George Butler, but was this a genuine haunting, the fabrications of a clout seeker from Harvard, or the long con of a pedo? All this and more!
