The tranquility of Ohio's Pleasant Valley was forever scarred in June of 1896 when tragedy struck the Rose family. Twenty-three-year-old Ceely Rose was infatuated with neighbor boy Guy Berry. When he did not reciprocate her feelings, her family ordered her to stop following him, and she in turn used rat poison to murder them. A trial would follow, with much of the focus on her sanity and mental capacity. My guest is Mark Sebastian Jordan, author of "The Ceely Rose Murders at Malabar Farm". He's been fascinated with this story since childhood, and not only shares details of his decades long research into the murders, but also explains how the case has reached folkloric status over the years.

In the conclusion with our interview with Mark Sebastian Jordan author of the Ceely Rose Murders at Malabar farm. As Ceely's story comes to a close it also brings many twists and turns. Her life in jail while on trial, the media frenzy she stirred up and the bizarre history of her own family. Also Mark talks about living on the farm as caretaker, and his stories involving the many ghosts who reside there. Mark also gives a very in depth look at Ceely Roses mental state and asks was she actually a violent killer. Or perhaps more so someone who had a severe mental illness that was left undiagnosed and untreated. We also learn about what fate would ultimately become of Ceely Rose and the little sleepy village of Pleasant Valley.   TheSpookyDoor.com @TheSpookyDoor #TheSpookyDoor Theme Song Licensed from: www.Purple-Planet.com www.darrencurtismusic.com Buy us a a cup of coffee: www.ko-fi.com/thespookydoor Theme Narrated by W.
