And this: "My great-great-grandma was married to a man she hated. They had a hired hand on their farm, and one day she made a casual comment about how much she hated her husband and wished he was dead. The next day, the husband was murdered, and the helper on the farm was nowhere to be found..."
"My great-great-grandma then got remarried to a man she actually liked. She'd occasionally leave food and money in the woods for 'someone' (our guess was the hired hand who probably killed her first husband). They never prosecuted her for the murder because there was no actual evidence that she paid someone to kill her first husband, and also the village she lived near was genuinely convinced that she was a witch and would curse them."
No, DNA isn't identical, similar yeah..
what Sinah said..
biologically, the same, emotionally, not so much
The houses were close together, and she tossed a burning dishrag from her kitchen window onto the neighbor's roof. It smouldered, sparked a flame, and that was that.
She never told them what happened. Continued to live next to them for decades. Even saw them in church.
Dirty family secret. I didn't learn about it until 20 years after the fact.
