#35: The Mystery of Circleville’s Menacing Letters

Where? Ohio

When? Mid 1970s

In the mid-1970s, the quiet town of Circleville, Ohio, was rocked by a series of mysterious, harassing letters. These letters, which began surfacing in 1976, contained personal and threatening messages, unsettling the recipients. The situation escalated with the murder and attempted murder of two townspeople, leading to the arrest of Paul Freshour.

However, the letters persisted even during Freshour’s incarceration, deepening the enigma. The case gained national attention when ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ covered it, only to receive a warning letter from the elusive Circleville writer, whose identity remains a chilling, unsolved riddle to this day.
