This week, Samantha shares the tale of the Black Widow of Hazel Green. The facts may have been hard to come by, but the story is certainly interesting. One thing is for certain: 6 times a widow was definitely uncommon at the time (is it really any different today??) and more than enough reason for gossip and drama…and there’s plenty of both in this episode!
