35. The Haunting of Esther Cox

<p>Amherst, Nova Scotia was home to a haunting that has still not been completely explained to this day. Esther Cox began experiencing unexplained phenomena in late August 1878 after being assaulted by a local man named Bob MacNeil.&nbsp;&nbsp;Bob fled the village after the attack however the manifestations of a poltergeist haunted Esther Cox for more than a year. For much of this time, Esther lived with family and friends who also witnessed the hauntings. Many credible people including local business owners, a physician, and clergy claim to have also witnessed the events. The experiences of Esther Cox became known as the “The Great Amherst Mystery."</p><br><p><strong><em>Thank you for listening!</em></strong></p><br><p>Buy us a coffee: <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tntcpod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tntcpod</a></p><br><p>Buy some TNTC merchandise:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376</a></p><br><p>Follow us on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/</a></p><br><p>Follow us on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/tntcpod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/tntcpod</a></p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
