Compact Mysteries – Episode 52: The Mystery of the Campden Wonder

A missing man, a baffling confession, three executions—and then a return from the dead. In this episode, we investigate the haunting 17th-century case of The Campden Wonder. When steward William Harrison vanished in 1660, his servant accused his own family of murder. But when Harrison reappeared two years later, alive and claiming abduction, the truth became stranger than fiction. Was it a tragic miscarriage of justice or something more calculated?
