On this episode of Common Mystics Jen and Jill delve into a chilling murder and the horrific actions of an enraged mob in a Mississippi River town in 1909.* When Anna Pelley, a young white woman, was brutally murdered in Cairo, Illinois, bloodhounds quickly led investigators to William James, a black man. This sparked riots in Cairo and nearby communities as angry mobs sought to capture and punish James for the crime.

On this episode of Common Mystics, Jen and Jill dive into a fascinating yet often overlooked chapter of World War II on the Hawaiian island of Niihau. On December 7, 1941, Japan launched a shocking surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, crippling the US Pacific Fleet and thrusting America into the heart of the conflict. Amid the turmoil, Japanese pilot Shigenori Nishikaichi was forced to make an emergency landing on Niihau. Initially oblivious to the unfolding chaos, the islanders welcomed the injured pilot with open arms. But as word of the Pearl Harbor attack spread, tension mounted, leading to a dramatic divide among the islanders about how to handle Nishikaichi. The fallout from these events would resonate deeply, raising pressing questions about civil liberties, racial prejudice, and national security during wartime. Support Common Mystics on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/commonmystics and get access to exclusive bonus content like the Detours from each episode, monthly episodes on mystical topics, and regular Zoom calls with the sisters and our fabulous Tier 4 Mentorship group.
