Ep. 149: Sentenced By A Ghost- The Hammersmith Ghost & The Stephen Young Ouija Board Case

What happens when belief in the paranormal collides with the law… and someone pays the price?In this episode of Spirits with Crime, we're heading to England for two stories separated by nearly two hundred years, but connected by the same unsettling question: how much does belief cost?First, we travel to Hammersmith, where an entire village became convinced a ghost was stalking their streets. Then we jump to 1994, and one of the strangest legal scandals in British courtroom history. Two cases. Two very different consequences. Grab your favorite drink and join me in these ghostly proceedings.
