He Was Their Teacher… Then He Became Their Killer - True Crime Story from 1700 Scotland

Dearest members of The Old Ink Society,

Tonight, we open the first, most dreadful chapter of The Chronicles of Crime (1840) — a collection that sought not to entertain, but to remind the living of the wages of sin. Within its earliest pages lies the story of The Reverend Thomas Hunter, a minister who preached virtue by day and harboured damnation by night.

In the year 1700, in the quiet city of Edinburgh, the Reverend Hunter betrayed the sanctity of his calling, committing a crime so cruel that even time itself hesitates to repeat it.

Step softly, dear listener.
The gallows may have long since fallen silent,
but some confessions still echo through the centuries.

Yours in ink and intrigue,
🕯️📖🌙
Lady S. Ashcroft
