  • On this episode of Common Mystics Jen and Jill delve into the enigmatic circumstances surrounding the death of a Puritan woman in 1673. Rebecca Cornell tragically perished in a fire at her Portsmouth home, a death authorities initially deemed an accident. However, the narrative took a chilling turn days later when her brother reported a ghostly visitation from Rebecca, seemingly seeking vengeance for her murder. The alleged perpetrator? Her own son, Thomas Cornell, Jr. This accusation led to Thomas’ murder trial, establishing a perilous precedent for future legal proceedings in New England, notably influencing the Salem Witch Trials.
