In this chilling true crime documentary, we unveil the dark history of George Corwin, the corrupt High Sheriff of Essex County, who oversaw brutal arrests and executions during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Fueled by greed and political conspiracy, Corwin’s actions left a bloody mark on colonial justice. But beyond the hangings and torture lies a deeper unsolved mystery — the bizarre circumstances surrounding his own death and the haunting folklore that followed.

Through gripping storytelling, expert analysis, and investigative journalism, this episode explores the scandal behind Corwin’s legacy, the forensic evidence buried in historical records, and how the case reflects on human nature, fear, and the early criminal justice system in America. Join us as we trace this infamous crime story and its eerie afterlife in the shadows of history.
