On Christmas 1843, a horrific discovery was made on New York's Staten Island. Inside a cottage, the bodies of a young mother and her infant daughter were discovered. Whoever killed them had tried setting the house on fire to cover up the crime. Soon a woman named Polly Bodine would be arrested for the crime. It was none other than P.T. Barnum who gave her the nickname she would forever be known by, The Witch of Staten Island.
