Episode 129: The Hex Hollow Magic Murders

On May 28, 1929, John Henry Blymire arrived at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia to serve out a life sentence for murder. He and 2 others had been convicted and sentenced in less than 9 days as York County officials hurried to sweep the whole incident under the rug. What is it that made this murder so controversial? In order to even begin to understand this convoluted tragedy full of magic, curses, spells, and witches, we must rewind our narrative backwards to the 1600s. Join us on this haunted journey as Aly tells Nat all about the Hex Hollow Magic Murders!
