336: The Witch of Mansfield: Phebe Wise w/ Mark S. Jordan

Phebe Wise was believed to be a witch by many locals in late 19th and early 20th century Mansfield, Ohio. Bucking societal norms, she lived alone on a large piece of property and would often march into town wearing her deceased mother's antique Civil War gowns. She also had her share of adversity, which included being the target of violent robbers and an obsessed stalker.  And her showdown with her stalker would lead to gunfire and death.My guest this week is Mark Sebastian Jordan, author of "The Witch of Mansfield: The Tetched Life of Phebe Wise." He shares stories from the life of this remarkable and eccentric woman. The author's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mark.jordan.794The author's publisher page: https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/products/9781467155212/Buy the book on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Witch-Mansfield-Tetched-Phebe-Generic/dp/1467155217/The author's Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/MarkSebastianJordan
