This is exactly right.

On the next season of Tenfold More Wicked, a long time listener reaches out with a tragic family story that's been passed down through the centuries.

My first name is Cary, my last name is Nolte, NOLTE, and I am a descendant of Rebecca Briggs. Murder victim.

About an English Puritan separatist fleeing religious persecution who arrives in colonial New England to face an even greater danger.

You do get these kind of instances where families kind of turn on themselves and any member can kill anyone else

where it does spill over into violence.

Rebecca Briggs Cornell survives the harsh landscape of the early colonies,

the sudden loss of her husband,

and a horrifying massacre,

only to be found burned to death in her own home.

But was it an accident or was it murderer?

I think that she was stabbed.

I think he set her on fire to cover up the wound.

A harrowing historical true crime that takes a turn toward the supernatural.

He opens his eyes and he sees his sister kind of bathed in an ethereal light and she says,

look how I am burned with fire. I'm Kate Winkler Dawson and this is season 11 of

Tenfold More Wicked. Join us as we uncover the details of a murder

investigation from a time when belief in the spirit world was commonplace.

And when folklore was trusted as fact.

There is something called cruentation

and what that is is the belief that the body will tell when the murderer is near.
