Spectral Testimony: The 1631 Murder Case That Shocked England
News of the Times | Episode 579 | 1631
In 1630s County Durham, the dead didn’t just whisper… they testified.

This is the gothic true crime story of Anne Walker — a young servant girl who vanished, only for her ghost to return, describe her murder, name her killers, and send shockwaves through a superstitious society. Incredibly, the courts listened. And a conviction followed.

In an era before fingerprints or forensics, “spectral evidence” was taken seriously — and in this case, it led to the gallows. Was it justice? Superstition? Or something stranger still?

Join us as we uncover a forgotten case where the veil between life and death thinned just enough… for a voice to cross it.

🕯️ Part of our Notorious November series exploring infamous, eerie, and unjust cases from the past.

👻 Further Particulars:
If you think a ghost naming her killer is the strangest thing you’ll hear today, wait until a reaper with a sickle meets a Welsh clergyman, a vanishing horseman, and a suspiciously well-timed “Amen.”

There’s divine intervention, roadside skulduggery, and possibly the politest haunting on ecclesiastical record. The Lord moves in mysterious ways. So, it seems, do mysterious men on white horses.
