American writer and literary critic Anatole Broyard once opined, “In an age like ours, which is not given to letter-writing, we forget what an important part it used to play in people's lives.” In the 1970s, the ability to instantly communicate through e-mails, texting, or social media was still decades away, so people employed the use of paper and pen, the mailman, and mailboxes to stay in touch. One of life's simple joys was writing and receiving letters. Through letters, people built friendships, sustained relationships, and strengthened romance. But for the residents of one small town in Ohio, the fun of exchanging letters was turned to terror when many of them received anonymous, vitriolic, and threatening handwritten messages. These poison pen letters of the mid-1970s came to be known as the “Circleville Letters,” and for nearly two decades, they spread fear through the mail in Circleville, Pickaway County, Ohio.

In 1976 in the small town of Circleville Ohio, residents began to receive anonymous letters that described personal and often damaging details about their lives. This continued for several years with over a thousand letters received. Eventually, this would lead to at least one death, accusations of a police coverup, attempted murder, and a possible case of wrongful imprisonment. The author of these letters is still unknown.
In early 1976, Circleville Ohio residents started receiving strange letters. Letters of harassment and other explicit materials, but no one knew who the sender of the letters was. All anyone had to work with were some blocky letters, and a postmark. One family in particular seemed to really be targeted. Mentions of an affair, a fatal car accident, an innocent man jailed, and years gone by but still, the writer of the letters is unknown. Let's talk about it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conspiracyconvo/support
