Fit to Be Tied
Ontario's Murderous Past
These are true but unbelievable, stories about murder and hangings. Villains, bored lovers, thieves who goofed, and even the innocent suffered - each bizarre story ends badly, and draws a huge crowd.

What characters they were: the charming , poetic Lord; the female bluebeard who entranced and then poisoned her young husbands; and the handsome doctor who decided he needed a more comely wife - after she'd put him through medical school.

And there were those unjustly accused who were convicted, just the same, and so suffered a terrible fate. They were victims of the harsh times in which they lived. Gossip could convict the accused before a trial was over. Families travelled for miles and took picnics to hangings. Courtroom drama and public hangings were the best entertainment of the day
