Spectral Evidence: The Chilling Case of Anne Walker’s Ghost | A Notorious November EpisodeNews of the Times | Episode 579 | 1631In 1630s County Durham, the dead didn’t just whisper… they testified.This is the gothic true crime story of Anne Walker — a young servant girl who vanished, only for her ghost to return, describe her murder, name her killers, and send shockwaves through a superstitious society. Incredibly, the courts listened. And a conviction followed.In an era before fingerprints or forensics, “spectral evidence” was taken seriously — and in this case, it led to the gallows. Was it justice? Superstition? Or something stranger still?Join us as we uncover a forgotten case where the veil between life and death thinned just enough… for a voice to cross it.🕯️ Part of our Notorious November series exploring infamous, eerie, and unjust cases from the past.👻 Further Particulars:If you think a ghost naming her killer is the strangest thing you’ll hear today, wait until a reaper with a sickle meets a Welsh clergyman, a vanishing horseman, and a suspiciously well-timed “Amen.”There’s divine intervention, roadside skulduggery, and possibly the politest haunting on ecclesiastical record. The Lord moves in mysterious ways. So, it seems, do mysterious men on white horses.📌 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share with someone who still refuses to close their cupboard door at night.Unlock full access to our ad-free archive — hundreds of historical true crime cases from Georgian jealousy to Edwardian scandal — for just £5/month:👉
