The Dancing Toaster Podcast- Ep 36- Justice from Beyond the Grave: The Tale of Fisher’s Ghost

Episode 36 of The Dancing Toaster take us to Campbelltown, Australia. In 1826, farmer Fred Fisher vanished. Weeks later a terrified witness claimed Fisher’s ghost sat on a bridge and pointed toward a creek. A police search uncovered Fisher’s buried remains, and neighbor George Worrall was convicted. This episode unpacks the facts behind the legend, and how folklore welded itself to a murder case, and why the annual Festival of Fisher’s Ghost keeps the story alive. Along the way, we compare similar “ghosts for justice” tales like the Greenbrier Ghost of West Virginia. We'll weigh evidence against rumor, and explore a biblical lens for how hidden truths can come to light.

 

The Dancing Toaster is a weekly podcast that wrestles with the intersection of faith and the unexplained.

I release new episodes every Tuesday wherever podcasts are found.
