Did Ohio Hang the Wrong Man?

In January 1876, the brutal murder of thirteen-year-old Lizzie Grombacher near Youngstown, Ohio, led to the swift arrest and conviction of young drifter Charles Sterling, based primarily on a bloodstained shirt. Proclaiming his innocence to the end—and even denying his own weeping mother to spare her the shame—Sterling died a horrific, agonizing death on a botched gallows, only for his sorrowful apparition to soon be seen pacing the Mahoning County jail. Nearly thirty years later, a revelation by a farmhand hundreds of miles away had investigators wondering the run wrong man had been hanged. In this episode of Southern Ghost Stories, Allen Sircy examines the tragic case of Charles Sterling, exploring a botched execution, jailhouse phantoms, and the unquiet spirit of a potentially innocent man.
