Summary
In today's episode, we're traveling to the quiet farming town of Circleville, Ohio, where anonymous letters began arriving in mailboxes during the late 1970s. They started with cruel gossip and harassment, but the accusations quickly grew darker, more personal, and far more threatening. Before long, marriages were collapsing, neighbors were turning against each other, and one local man would die under deeply suspicious circumstances.
