Welcome back to The Boo Review, where we dive into the most haunting tales from yesterday's news sources. This week, we’re taking you back to 1753 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to explore the chilling tale of Jacob Wilhelm—a man whose stubbornness and cruelty led to a shocking and poetic fate. Who was Jacob Wilhelm? Why did the townsfolk despise him? And what led to his untimely death in the very grave he dug for someone else? We’ll recount the eerie chain of events, including a strange storm, Wilhelm’s grave threat to his enslaved servant, and the mysterious Quaker man who may or may not have existed. Was it divine intervention, karma, or simply fate? You decide.
