Crime at Bedtime

Circleville: The Town Terrorised by Anonymous Letters


Listen Later

In 1976, the small town of Circleville, Ohio, began receiving letters, hundreds of them.


Each one was anonymous. Each one accused neighbours, teachers, and officials of dark secrets. And each one carried the same eerie signature: none at all.

The anonymous writer seemed to know everything, where people worked, who they spoke to, even private affairs no one else could have known. Then came the threats, a mysterious death, and a trap wired with a gun.


When a local man was arrested, everyone thought the nightmare was over… until the letters kept coming from hundreds of miles away, even while he sat in prison.

In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we revisit one of America’s most disturbing unsolved cases, a story of obsession, fear, and words that tore a town apart.
