In 1928, three men murdered a 60-year-old farmer in rural Pennsylvania, convinced he was a witch who had cursed one of them. The brutal killing shocked the nation and marked the last witchcraft trial in American history. Join host Paul Stiling as he examines the superstitions, paranoia, and tragic circumstances that led to the senseless death of Nelson Rehmeyer in what became known as the Hex Hollow Murder.
