Phantasmal Crime Ep. 37 - To Kill A Milton

The Novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" was written by Harper Lee in 1960. The story details a black man accused wrongly of the rape of a white woman. It was as though Harper Lee had heard the true story of Robert Milton. Milton was a black man accused of rape by a white teenager in 1920s Mississippi. He was convicted and executed and most people believe he was an innocent man. Perhaps that is why he haunts the courthouse where he was hanged, the Old Tishomingo County Courthouse. Join us for this compelling story of how rape was treated in the 1920s, how racism biased a jury and the history and hauntings of an old southern courthouse.
