South Carolina: The Legend of Lavinia Fisher - Known as America's first female serial killer, Lavinia Fisher was certainly not dainty about her kills: In the 1800s, she and her husband John ran an inn, where they had the unfortunate habit of killing off many of their guests. They would poison their guests, then when the poor person had fallen asleep, drop them down a trap door. One victim managed to escape and the two were found out, resulting in their execution. People say that the ghost of Lavinia Fisher haunts the Charleston jail where she was executed. Are you familiar with this legend?
