When young governess Fannie Lillian Madison checked into her hotel in Richmond, Virginia at 2 AM, she registered under a pseudonym: F.L. Merton. Just 24 hours later, her body was found in the Old Reservoir — and an autopsy revealed she was seven months pregnant. We only know of one person she came to visit in the city, her cousin Thomas Cluverius, who swore up and down that he never saw her when he was in Richmond.

In this episode, we look into the evidence (and lack thereof) against Thomas and examine this 150-year-old mystery with 21st century eyes.

But first, Zoey shares a chilling Something Spooky in the form of a listener's experience spending a night in the haunted Partridge Inn.
