The Well from the Manhattan Well Murder of 1799
‘ Oh, do I love a good ghost story! Back in 2014, my friend Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong blog, sent me an article about a well in New York that was the site of an infamous 1799 murder. The seven-foot by five-foot well, situated in the basement of a SoHo building that…
