Headless Harvey and the last man hanged

About this episode

On Wednesday, August 1, 1906 George Stanley was hanged. He was the last man executed at the Windsor County Jail. From that day on…. the town was never the same because while justice may have d been served many believe that Freeman Harvey, the man George Stanley so callously killed is not at rest. Judge Charles Edgar DeWolf, who lived in the area, reported seeing the apparition of a headless man in his basement window. He knew that parts of Harvey’s corpse had been found hidden under a pile of potatoes, and the judge was sure that he had seen Harvey’s ghost. Then, other strange things began to happen. This is the story of Headless Harvey.
