Was Lavinia Fisher America's First Female Serial Killer?
Myths, Mysteries, & Monsters
11/08/21 • 16 min
Today a ghost haunts the Old City Jail in Charleston, South Carolina, one said to be in a white wedding dress looking for more victims to add to her list. Her name is Lavinia Fisher and she's often called America's first female serial killer.
The legends say in 1819 the authorities of Charleston, South Carolina raided the Six Mile Wayfarer Hotel just outside of the city looking for a group of thieves. Instead they found more than they bargained for and discovered a hotel of horrors.
The owners, John and Lavinia Fisher, were arrested and charged with over 100 counts of murder and Lavinia Fisher went down in history as America's first female serial killer. But if we look at the events surrounding the case was she really the evil entity the legends say she is?
Find out the true story of Lavinia Fisher on today's episode of Myths, Mysteries, & Monsters!

There is a bridge a few short miles away from Weatherford, Oklahoma where many have reported seeing the spirit of a woman looking for her baby before disappearing. Others have reported seeing a blue light hovering around the bridge before hearing the pained screams of a woman.
Though the accounts of ghostly figures are up for debate, the origin for the spirit and the area known as Dead Woman's Crossing stems from a true unsolved murder from over a hundred years ago that still haunts the area today.
