Lavinia Fisher – America’s First Serial Killer was hung in her wedding dress in Charleston, SC – Learn her story in this new video by Lamont at Large
At the public execution, Lavinia screamed her infamous last words: “If you have a message you want to send to Hell, give it to me; I’ll carry it,” then, before the executioner could hang her, she jumped– taking her final moments into her own hands. And that is the tale of America’s first murderess.

If she wasn’t guilty why would she say she’s meeting the devil?
Also – there was a man who did not sleep in the bed because he felt something was wrong and then hit John when he came into the room s as me took off on his horse to get the authorities.
Also – she gave them Oleander tea which killed them most of the time. If it didn’t John finished them.
Enjoyed your story. I’ve always been fascinated with Lavinia. One tour guide said she was buried at the Unitarian Church because nobody else would have her.
I’ve never heard a reference to the burial place of John. Since he became a Christian I wonder if that negated the issues the churches had with burying Lavinia. Curious that they weren’t buried together.
I enjoyed your story and have heard it all of my life as I was born and live in Charleston, SOUTH CAROLINA. The story I heard was that the mattress in the bedroom flipped dumping the guests into the cellar on spikes that killed them. As you enter Magnolia Cemetery, you state you are in Charleston, West Virginia. Could you please edit your video and get this error corrected to state South Carolina?
Enjoyed and will tune in again – I did catch the mixup of South Carolina and West Virginia
I have taken the horse buggy tour that told of the Fischer’s one thing he didn’t completely finish is she did come to the gallos in her wedding dress cause in those days a married woman couldn’t be hanged so she was very beautiful thought one of the men would marry her, saving her life. But, of course, no man wanted to marry her which made her mad. Also, people have seen her spirit walking up and down that prison in her dress.
Enjoyed this info! Would like to follow more of your ?!
