Lore of the South
E35 Not so Sweet Lavinia Fisher
Was Lavinia the first female serial killer in the US, or just the head of a murdering gang of highwaymen? I'll let y'all decide.
In my recommendations I'm happily sharing all of Enocha Edenfield's social media accounts. She's a journalist, historian, grave preservationist and now a tour guide. She shares amazing stories about Savannah's history and has a knack for uncovering where the city's ghost stories truly come from.
