In this episode of Legends May Live, we delve into the chilling tale of the Circleville Letters that haunted the small town of Circleville, Ohio. It all began in 1976 when Mary Gillespie received an anonymous letter accusing her of infidelity, a claim that would soon engulf the entire community in fear and distrust.
As letters filled with personal secrets and threats began to circulate among residents, lives were upturned, reputations ruined, and, in one tragic instance, a life was lost. The ensuing investigation didn't solve the mystery but rather deepened it, as theories and suspicions continued to swirl, even leading to a controversial conviction.
Join us as we unravel the enigma of the Circleville Letters, uncovering new leads, shocking betrayals, and the question that still haunts the town to this day: who was behind it all?
