I got the state wrong in the video, i meant Charleston,South Carolina not West Virginia. Thank you to the 7000 people who reminded me about it 😊
😂
🤣🤣
Lol
It's ok. 😂
🤣 just the odd one or two then 🤔🤣
Back then, criminals were executed for robbery. Today, criminals are set free for murder. Smh
Or they get a light sentence.
And child molesters get a slap on the wrist
The good old days when there were no appeals & they hung you on the spot. Only bad if you were innocent.
In what state are criminals set free after being convicted of murder? In the 60s and 70s there were people paroled incredibly early for heinous murders, including people formerly on death row but saved by the death penalty moratorium in 1972. But now we have young teenagers serving life without parole and people being executed on a regular basis in some Southern states, especially Texas.
Carol,
Many of the DAs in liberal states (or liberal big cities in conservative states) are turning killers loose, without bail, and even the psych- cases get a free pass.
This has been going on for the past two years, at least. It's supposed to be a response to the issues you raised, but there are several big cities in Texas that are uber- liberal and have these new revolving door policies in place, which of course means higher murder rates.
I think this is changing, in Texas anyway, because so many un-vetted criminal cartels are pouring across the border, and the locals are getting the crappy end of the stick, so to speak.
Hello Lamont. Really enjoyed the story. I was born in Charleston 69 years ago. I have great grandparents and grandparents buried in Magnolia Cemetery. As a child I heard this story and It is similar to a story pertaining to this one. I use to scare my friends with it. It was bloody bones. A innkeeper in Charleston who would run a border house and use trap doors to open at the dining table or beds. When they fell down it would kill them and they would rob them and bury their bodies. Of course they would come back and haunt them. Dragging chains up staircases, stratching sounds in doors and windows. The woman was suppose to be a witch and when they were going to hang her at the sea breeze hotel. (Old Jail) of course she cursed them. There was a rumor that her skeleton was at the old museum in Charleston they torn down. Anyway..thanks again.
The look on that ladies face when he was walking by and said "she wasn't bludgeoning them to death"🤣
Another great episode, Lamont! You always present the most fascinating stories.
Facts
So very true
They may not be buried in a cemetery at all. Criminals and suicides were rarely if ever buried in a cemetery or other sacred ground as the belief was that they were not going to heaven. At times, they were buried at a crossroads in the hopes to confuse their soul so they wouldn’t haunt the living. Great story.
About right with that one Christians judged
For anyone interested there’s a book called “Six Miles to Charleston” by Bruce Orr. He has some interesting theories about Lavinia and what actually happened. Lamont if you’re ever back in Charleston make sure you tour the jail(sorry to see that they’re renovating though). My husband and I vacation in Charleston every year and we toured the Old City Jail at night. We took pics with a digital camera as this was sometime back in the early 2000s. We had tons of orbs on the shots that we took there. I’m usually a skeptic when it comes to those kinds of things but seeing those orbs really made me wonder. The feeling you get there and those orbs were something we really can’t explain. Thanks for this video! It’s great to see some content on Charleston! Keep doing what you do!
there are many things we’ll never fully know or explain. We know nothing compared to all there is
When I was in Charleston I took photos in a beautiful very old cemetery. This was back in the late 70's. On two photos black blobs appeared. I've never had that happen before. None on the other photos I took on that roll of film were marked.
Aunt Taiche I want to go on vacation with y’all 🥺😃

You wouldn't have access to a van with mystery machine on its side, or have a friend they call shag for short?
*"if anybody has a message for the Devil, tell me now, because I'm surely going to meet him."*
Incredibly eerie yet powerful last words... wow...
Powerful?? Not really, it just shows she’s eternity in hell which is sad.
Words from someone who knew they had done bad things.Had she been innocent surely she would of said if anybody has a message for God
She met him alright because she ended up on this road on the other side it looks like this everything is pitch black but you can see forever no beginning and no end and no other side on the left hand side is a white glowing line down it this road feels like cold soft mud under your feet off in the distance you will see them all walking down it see through black shadows that were once man branded in their foreheads looks like this ancient calligraphy with red and white light gleaming out the numbers right above their nose and in between their eyes in a half circle 6066 headed to their second deaths way down this road you will see this thing zipping across it at the speed of light Mr super condensed black shadow with red glowing eyes and red and white light gleaming out cracks in his skin you can see all the heat rising off of his head looks like a smouldering coal cannibal freak Satan himself yeah him buddy mowing them down and consuming every one of them now you might want to ask for some directions before you get there it would be extremely wise to do so or you'll end up just like the rest of them
@@firebird_spleen4190 there is no such thing though lol it was invented based off of dantes inferno comedy
@@EvaLasta I guess You'll get to see. If You don't believe in GOD, hell will be Your eternal residence.
I went there and the guide was horrible. I love the way you tell the history. Keeps me interested and that makes all the difference. Love your posts. Thank you
Lamont never fails us !!!!! We love Lamont.
I’ve done a ghost tour in that jail. Matter of fact I met Lorraine Warren at that jail.
Did you come across any supernatural behavior?....
I'd love to go on one of those jail
Ghost tour's...
No. Wish I did though. I spent a weekend w the cast of Paranormal State. One of the tours was in the jail & our last meet up spot was in front of the jail. I’ve never once experienced anything paranormal when I’ve paid for a tour or experience. Plenty on my own but never like that. The jail did have a weird feeling tho.
@@aprildiaz6298 Two of my bro in laws went to Alcatraz. Mikey said it was spooky & Drew said the whole place freaked him out.And it was very cold.
Hey Lamont👋🏽 they should turn that building into a museum and have every personal items and other things for display!!!! Thanks for this interesting story…. 🙌🏽❤️
What an excellent story teller you are. Lamont 👏 . . . Have a wonderful evening there everyone.
I've been digging through very old newspapers to find this Lamont. Kings Newspaper Press of Charleston, South Carolina, p60-61 gives a short account of the crimes and hangings. They were hung on the 18th Feb. Lavinia went through the trapdoor with no last words. From other old papers I found:- she was not wearing her wedding gown because it was in the house when it burned down before the execution. Her legend was born in 1830 when a Scotsman named Peter Nielson published a novel? about his years in America. He claimed to have been at the hanging, but didn't arrive in America until 1822. It was proven that he'd made things up to thrill his readers and elaborate his story. I found an article in a 1922 newspaper stating her skeleton was owned by the Medical college of her time. They then donated it to the Charleston Museum. After that I have no idea where she ended up.
It would be so cool if Lamont would announce where he’s going next and give a tour for those interested. As a history nerd that I am, I’d pay for that! It would be a cool experience!
Thank you, Lamont. You come across some of the wildest stories in your travels!! I don't travel much outside of my immediate area anymore because of a vision disorder. But I always feel like I am going on a trip when I watch your channel!!
This title of being killed in a wedding dress reminded me of the story of Gladys Ricart. She was killed at her home by her jealous ex boyfriend not even 1 hour before the ceremony. All of her bridesmaids, flower girls, sons, etc witnessed the murder. He came in acting like he was bringing her flowers and pulled out a gun and shot her multiple times. The wedding photographer captured the whole incident because he was at the home taking pics of the bridal party. Now women run a marathon against domestic violence in their wedding dresses on the day she was tragically killed. About to check this story out now. I'm sure they are nothing alike.
I watched that story on American Justice!
Gladys was absolutely gorgeous! I hated that her life ended that way... 😢 It was extremely shocking to watch the photographer's video.
And her killer got off.
@@nadezhdawall-rossi2864 WHAT!!! Seriously?
That is so Sad!
Interesting story. Sad, but interesting. Thank you Lamont, for sharing this with us.
Hi Lamont. According to Google Lavinia Fisher was buried in Potters field near to where she was executed. If it's true or not I couldn't tell you.
I remember ghost adventures doing their thing with this story. So it’s nice to hear the story told in a different way
Tina Toromba: What's happened to those guys?Have they stopped posting?
This is a crazy story!! Thanks once again Lamont for taking us along showing us these places. That tour of the jail would be interesting to go on!!
I did that tour! Quite creepy!
This sounds like something right out of American Horror Story! Wtf?! I've never heard of this horrible case. Thank you, Lamont, for discussing these cases. I find myself listening to you & Grimm a lot, even at work!
"Aye you know what toots?! Good luck in the afterlife!" 🤣
Fascinating story! Astounding how the rumor mill made up the varying stories as to what she did or didn't do. First time watching your channel. Thank you
Great story ! You never disappoint us with these incredible stories. THANKS
There are a lot of unanswered questions for the entire group. A lot of folks back in those days used to use old newspapers to line the outer walls for insulation. This I know for a true fact from my dad and I renovating my grandparents old home place! We both just stopped and looked at all the old newspapers lining the outer walls of their home. No wonder it was so very cold in their home during the harsh winters in NC.
That may be where the news of the highway robbers ended up? In the outer walls of old homes? I like your videos and it would be cool to research these folks, find out about their lives and how their lives ended! Keep your videos coming!
This execution happened on my birthday. Great tale and you recite it so well. Thank you Lamont and stay safe and God Bless u.
Omg, so sad. Thank you for sharing her story. It needed to be told.
It was like “Highway robbery”…. was a phrase I heard a lot when I was younger. When it was thought somebody was cheating or charging a lot of $$ for something the phrase would be said. I haven’t heard that phrase in years. 😊😊
Greetings Lamont! I currently live in Charleston SC and it's nice to see you do this type of story. It definitely makes a difference to see a lot that's happened in the past with serial killers and murderers. Reminds me to always value life.
Hi, neighbor!
This graveyard is 1 of my favorites to visit! You should come back & do some stories on the ppl buried here especially the children.
Thank you Lamont for yet another macabre and fascinating historical gen. By the looks of it, developers are going to turn this prison into condos. Ironic that people would be paying big money for what were once miserable cells two centuries ago...
They're not really. They're restoring the jail.
@@GenXfrom75 either way I wouldn't even step foot where people were brutally murdered. That energy is still there.
@@michaell6807 I went on the tour. Got a ton of orbs on film..it's was fascinating to visit. And the tour guide was so knowledgeable.
The poster said Rehabilitation Center, I doubt condos would be called that lol

I think that was a very good story. An interesting look at the history of justice & why a spirit just might hang in a particular place. Thanks, Lamont. I love to hear your stories of history & life.
Hey Lamont just now watching, anyway Charleston is my home town, I love the South, anyway have a safe and bless day.
Lamont, I really appreciate and enjoy what you do. You are an excellent presenter and it's obvious how much research you do. Thanks!
Also children and young adults were even hung for stealing a loaf of bread!!
Definitely a good story Lamont! Especially, the husband goes back in the jail to be with his wife. Imagine, highway robbery was punishable by death in those days. Thanks Lamont as always for your wonder narrated story!
I'm thinking, back in 1820, the jail was probably on the outskirts of what was then a tiny municipality with a lot of wilderness nearby so the Fishers were buried in an unmarked grave that has turned to dust after 200 years.
When you first started telling the story, I immediately started thinking about the Bloody Benders! So eerily similar! Thanks for the story and video, Lamont! This is the first time I'd ever heard of this story. ❤
Lamont, thank you for telling the truth about Lavinia Fisher and all the other people you have talked about on other videos. You are a breath of fresh air. No one knows what her last words were. God bless you Lamont.
Yes Lamont, this was a VERY INTERESTING STORY!!!! And yeah, 200 YEARS is a VERY LONG TIME!!!! You know how stories are; events are made up, or taken away. You never know for sure which was made up, and which wasn't.

@@evelynsuazo2614 Funny.
Very interesting story. I guess we’ll never know unless there’s some kind of archive in the library with old newspapers.
Librarians may have an idea where she’s buried too.
Looks like a very old cemetery. Very cool.
Unfortunately, lots of that stuff burned to the ground 💔
I often use the term "highway robbery" without giving it much thought. 🤔 The more you know!
I think from what you were saying about where she's buried. I find it hard to believe they would take her to that cemetery if they didn't start burying there till 1950. So she and and here husband are probably in a paupers grave near the prison. It could have been built over judging by all the properties around the Charlestown prison
Agreed. Usually they'd hang them and bury them if not *on* the spot, then close to it.
Yeah so even though that cemetery is beautiful, it was kinda pointless visiting it as it has nothing to do with the Fishers
Wow how sad on your wedding day thank u for sharing her story
I wish her descents would see this and reach out to you to let you know where she is buried. That would be so helpful.
You’re a wonderful storyteller. Thank you for another great video!!
American history is sorely lacking in schools today. Good vid as always brother.
I lived in Charleston from 1999 - 2019. Miss it terribly. Visited Magnolia Cemetery a hundred times over those years. There are some fascinating graves and stories connected to Magnolia. If you are still there, there is a fascinating grave in the old Episcopal cemetery off of Hwy. 61 in West Ashley. The inscription talks about the woman buried there and tells about her husband who was "cruelly murdered by the savages" sometime in the mid-1700's.
Savages? Seriously? How about people just protecting their land from settlers! Just saying!
@@darensmith6705Not saying using the word savages is ok, I have Cherokee heritage, but he does have it in quotations so possibly he is just quoting what it says on the grave or some kind of plack.
@@darensmith6705 Why are you having a pop at him over what an inscription on a grave from the 1700's says? He did not inscribe the grave did he, dumb@ss
@@acidmack1041 he wants to cancel history
@@darensmith6705 Oh lawd. Here come the triggered. Do you not understand the use of quotation marks? That is kind of English 101. Those are not my words. They are the words chiseled onto the tombstone that are going on 300 years old now. Got a problem with that term? Take it up with the dead.
Hi Lamont. So nice to know you were in my city again. This is one of many stories connected to Charleston. This is a very historical city with stories about haunted houses, ghosts, etc. Next time you are here, take a tour and you will learn more about this historical place from colonial times, slavery and the Civil War.
Kimberly Rivers:I so wish I could visit Charleston,Lee's Summit, Shiloh,Gettesburg,etc.I am passionate about history.
Who knows. When so much time passes the memories fade. Then the story may be distorted in some way. But it so interesting to learn the history.
Great video, Lamont. - Thank you for taking us on your adventures. ---- The only way that we probably could locate her grave would be through old population records, of executions, or check with a local Historian for more info, a Library to find old maps of the City, and possibly find where the executed were buried.
Your storytelling is amazing Lamont.
I have my doubt's as to their guilt. Back then a lot of innocent people got arrested and killed for things they did not do. It was very easy for law enforcement to be corrupt. However Lamont, thank you for another wonderful video. I love the work you do. RIP to the couple.
I agree
If you regularly watch the Investigation Discovery Channel, you'll know there are tons of cases in modern times where the cops will get tunnel vision on a particular suspect. Then a DNA test is done, and the suspect turns out not to be the killer. Imagine how things were way back in the past. No DNA, and only very primitive forensic techniques.
It's still easy for law enforcement to be corrupt!
@@moosehead1183 this is true. But a lot of times they really believed that they had the right guy. Certain circumstances seem to be pointing that way and they get tunnel vision. They are only human after all. Now there are those evil and corrupt police that know better but they are just evil and/or have their own agenda.
so, whats changed? lol
Thanks for a very interesting story. Wikipedia says they are buried in a paupers grave near where they were executed. BTW, I would love to visit that building when they are done.
Just found your channel, great stories. I'm in UK, we got plenty of history to check out, but I like to hear stories from elsewhere, (same sh*t happens everywhere it seems!). I watch a lot of this kinda stuff, the presentation is important, and the voice of the presenter is key for me. You got it all nailed...and a great voice!👍
Look forward to catching up and keeping up with your stories. Peace out. ✌
Very interesting. It's great that Charleston doesn't just tear down historic buildings.
I was in Charleston, SC during the 1989 Hurricane Hugo! That was fun! I went to a Cemetery right after and headstones were just thrown all over the place.. Creepy! What a beautiful place though.. Thanks for the great story! Happy Trails! 👣
I ran across this channel 4 months ago or so. I really enjoy the stories and unique events. Great content.
I found your channel a few days ago researching ‘Herman Munster’ now I’m totally addicted to it,i’m watching every chance i get. 💚 Yorkshire,England.
Everyone have a BLESSED DAY and STAY SAFE
Her grave is most likely unmarked and lost forever. Often, when old cemeteries were inside the towns, they would be moved (at least from about the 1850s-1900 because they believed the bodies could make the people living in the town sick. So, many old cemeteries and potter's fields were relocated and often became mass graves in newer cemeteries.
wow great story
It was a fantastic story!! Trying to wrap my brain how it was like 200 yrs ago. Really enjoyed hearing about this!! Thanks!!
It's said in SC that none of this ever happened. Supposedly no bodies, no evidence. It's also said their land was wanted. It's a crazy story. Love this story!
Denial of true history is interesting 🤔
Absolutely amazing story Lamont , love it , take care out there .
Thank you, again, Lamont, for another interesting video. You were right about the method of "drawing and quartering" an alleged criminal. However, these people were alive when it happened. There was another form of execution. It was administered back in the 1700's. A traitor or a criminal was sentenced was placed upon a scaffold to hang. It wasn't hard enough to break their necks (that came afterward). The individual was left alive while his abdominal cavity was cut open. He was then made to watch while his entrails and sometimes other body appendages were cut off and burnt with fire in front of his eyes. His relatives and other people too, in order to maintain order and set an example for others. My great ancestor Captain Benjamin Merrill met a martyr's death. It happened after The Battle of Alamance, just before the Revolutionary War.
Great job Lamont ! I really enjoy your shows. You put a lot of work into them. Thanks !
What a crazy story, but very intriguing and fascinating, great job as always Lamont.
Thanks Lamont. I think it's great, the way you tell your stories, facts, history, opinion and humor, love it. Drive safe and God travel with you.
I love the way you tell her in a real way you don’t say around and back then when you do something as bad as she supposedly did , she was probably buried in an unmarked grave so the people could not go and dig her up or anything like that. Just my opinion. Thank you for another awesome video!!
I love how you elaborate the stories...you make it sooo interesting and detailed... Blessings
That was a good story. Thank you Lamont for all the travelling and stories.
Putting my two cents in: a lot of the time when someone was executed at the prison, they were buried on the jail grounds. I don't know if they were doing that in the early 19th century. Also, if they had family-they could come and get the body and bury it where they wanted. With her being a woman they might have afforded her a "christian burial" outside of the jail. The people who probably could have told you were the historical society of the jail or the town.
I never thought we had burnings and drawing and quarterings here. This had to have been before we had the 8th amendment. Good grief, what horrible things humans do to each other.
If it was in 1819 or 1820, then the Eighth Amendment had been ratified for a while.
Per usual another excellent video Lamont . Thank You so much.I was noticing that it has only been like 6 or 7 hours since you posted this video and in the middle of the day PDT , You already have over 4K in viewers ! Yippie. I'm So Happy to watch you and your channel Grow. Great Job ! Take Care, Stay Safe. Sincerely.

Hi Lamont!
Very interesting story!
First time I've heard about it! Your are so amazing and very much gifted to what you do. Not everyone can tell a story or express themselves the way you do. I admire you! I love watching all your videos and I never get bored. Take care and please stay safe!
Thanks Lamonte. Very interesting story.
I heard this story and it was a slightly different version. Hard to say as over time versions do change. Thanks for the vlog Lamont.
Oh i love listening to you Lamont 🧐 like to hear all the info , great story teller
Thank you so much 🙏
Great tour and tale,Lamont! God Bless You,and,keep you,safe&well!!
She was buried at potters field near the old city jail. Claims at 150 Meeting street,or at 4 Archdale street. See if that helps not sure Lamont
People were so vicious in those days with the executions. Some people still are vicious, but executions have become more humane. That is interesting, a wedding dress to be hung in? Maybe it was considered a formal event, or maybe she was expressing her everlasting love for her husband at her hanging.
Nomas una pregunta tu lo arias es simplemente una pregunta
@@JorgeLopez-bs5xb I don't understand Spanish. I am not sure what you meant or said.
Very interesting story! Peppered with unanswered questions and mystery!..Good one L!🧐👍
I live 1.5hrs from Charleston and I take random day trips there. Its an absolutely gorgeous city with so much history. I thoroughly enjoyed that story. I'm starting to enjoy the older stories more because 9/10 times i haven't heard the story before. This is another great story Lamont. I'm looking forward to the next one.
Pictures are hung. Executed humans are hanged.
From a former teacher: "You are absolutely correct!"
Always love your videos. This story was pretty sad. Nobody knows where their final resting place is. Do you think that they could have burned/cremated the bodies??
He does great stories. I know where I will be, family plot up north
Someone said In the comments they were buried at potters field. But they were not completely sure
As soon as the video started I already knew where you were. That was our weekend spot we would visit a lot from Charlotte, NC especially during the summer. Love that area. This was a very interesting story. Loving your content it is always very intriguing.
Thanks for the stories you bring to us.
Always look forward to them.
Damn Uncle I thought my wedding day was bad 🥲
Back then evil people hanged good people for nothing
Yes, my question is who inherited the properties of the bed n breakfasts?
Same thing that happened in the Salem witch trials. The real witches had the innocents burned at the stake.
@@reesedaniel5835 Wasn't it decided that there was some plant people were eating which had some crazy side effects?Poor devils.Someone once asked Mark Twain,was it?What he thought about civilization.His brilliant answer was "Let me know when it starts"I should live that long!
Thank you Lamont for that great story and the visit to lovely Charleston. Safe travels.
Again Lamont I will repeat you are a historian for the dead and a story teller at the same time you do control this end of the blogging world you dig for the information you give lots of the stories were before you and I were born you put a lot in your work. Thanks again
Thanks Lamont for another great story! I'm confused though, in the end you say she was executed but during the story you said she jumped to her death before she could be hung. Can you please clarify? As for that new development being planned, I wouldn't want to live there. I truly believe land can be haunted by bad energy and events that happened there.
I believe this is how it went: they had the noose around her neck, but before they could activate the trap door, she jumped, thus killing herself.
@@nanmattingly6402 Thank you, that makes sense
I'm a first time viewer but that story was pretty interesting. I think most crimes except for petty things were punishable by death. Kinda makes ya think where we went wrong. Today people get by with murder and never have to answer for it.
love watching your videos, Lamont. Very interesting!
You always come up with interesting stories ( facts) . Great learning experience. I learned a lot with different famous noticeable people . Love hearing them and watching them .
