Legend has it, Muhjah Todd was an elderly woman who died a terrible death. She had no family, friends, or a spouse. Many say Muhjah was murdered by a neighbor who was never caught. She now feeds on entire families in the house she used to live in it. The myth doesn’t have any reliable facts that support it. Police were unable to find any records, as Muhjah live in a time before documentation or records. They estimated she lived around the same time as many of the supposed Greek Gods. The police was so desperate to find a possible suspect, they actually put Muhjah down as a suspect. The chief of the station said in his report, “We have sustainable evidence that we are unable to release into the public that supports paranormal activity in the house.” In their defense, the Florence Police Department fell apart in the early nineteen hundreds. It was corrupt which caused lots of false police reports. Since they couldn’t testify against a dead person they let they case go cold once

    After reading the essay from my partner, Olivia Rodriguez, I’ve been able to gain a much stronger insight on the judicial system and how society affects which type of evidence was approved as lawful evidence. I interpreted Olivia’s paper as that she was trying to argue is that during colonial times, sceptical evidence, such as supernatural or racist evidence, was approved in cases even though they were clearly invalid.

In the opening paragraph, Olivia states how supernatural evidence was accepted in religious communities because of the that that the quakers believed that spirits would transfer messages to the living.
