Episode 234 The Murder (and Ghost) of Captain Joseph White

from Family Plot · host Family Plot Podcast

Another episode that is just so full of goodness, you'll wonder how we were able to pack it all into one episode!  We go to Salem for this one, specifically the Gardner-Pingree House, which was once owned by Captain Joseph White.  White was a a fair bit unsavory due to some of his business practices as a captain, but once he retired, he was murdered by four men who frankly, were not criminal masterminds by any stretch of the imagination.  We talk his life, his murder, his murderers and their trial.  They even had a special prosecutor, a celebrity lawyer of his time, Daniel Webster.  We also talk how the former Captain became a ghost haunting his former home in this little bit spooky, whole lotta true crime historical episode of the Family Plot Podcast!  Plus we crammed in a whole lot of love.  Trigger Warnings for Suicide and mentions of slavery.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.
