Ep 248: Massacre at Duffy's Cut Part 2

John Burns had lost his son, Katherine Burns had lost her husband, and the two of them came to America for a better life, and they both died. They disappear at Duffy’s Cut.
— Rev. Dr. J. Frank Watson
 

Description:

In Part Two of our series on the massacre at Duffy's Cut, we continue our discussion with investigating brothers, Rev Dr. Frank and Professor Dr. Bill Watson. We examine the historical circumstances and the likelihood of these 57 workers all dying of cholera or being murdered out of fear and prejudice. Also considered is the remarkable number of coincidences and hauntings connected to the paranormal nature of this tragedy's discovery. Whether they fell victim to the harsh conditions of past eras or the brutality of callous ignorance, perhaps the restless spirits of Duffy's Cut can finally find peace and recognition.
