9 Women Vanished From a Locked Cell Before Their Hanging (1693)

Nine women were scheduled to hang at dawn. By morning, the cell was empty, and the door was still bolted from the outside. Nine wooden spoons. A pile of freshly cut hair, still warm. And a secret that stayed buried for more than 300 years. On June 29, 1693, jailer George Pelham unlocked a cell in the Thorn Hollow jail in the District of Maine and found no one inside.
