In this episode of Down the Crooked Path, Amanda Joy walks through the 1827 murder of Maria Marten and the strange trail that followed. From the dream that sent Maria’s stepmother back to the Red Barn to the discovery that shocked the village to the trial that turned William Corder into one of the most talked about men in England, this case has all the twists you would expect from early true crime.
We also look at the stories that surfaced long after the murder, including the tale of Dr. John Kilner and the skull he should have left alone, and how this case echoes other moments in history like the Greenbrier Ghost from West Virginia.
If you enjoy historical mysteries, eerie coincidences, and cases that refuse to stay quiet, this one is for you.
