Episode 94. The Mercer-Williams House and the Martha Washington School for Girls
Manage episode 382908694 series 3275335
After going to Savannah recently for a wedding Danielle was inspired to choose a crime based in Savannah. The Mercer-Williams house is well known for a murder that took place in 1981. Eccentric, antique collector, Jim Williams called the police after he shot his assistant and lover, Danny Hansford. They were known for their fiery and tumultuous relationship. Jim was eventually found not-guilty, but Savannah residents are still undecided on whether Jim is a cold-blooded killer or an eccentric partier.
In this week's episode, Sandra talks about the Martha Washington School for Girls. The school originally provided resident supervision for delinquent girls first on Queen Anne Hill and then on Mercer island. The school then moved back to Seattle in 1914. The school was originally owned by Juvenile Court Judge Everett T. Smith from 1862 to 1933. The state of Washington then assumed control in 19578 until the school closed in 1971. The site is now the Martha Washington Park. Since its closure, the area where the school was located has shown some paranormal activity. This activity includes hearing disembodied voices and seeing the ghost of a young girl.
