The Cannibal of Austerlitz (Columbia County, NY)

Hudson Valley Horror Month rolls on with another twisted tale! This week we head to Austerlitz, NY to discuss the case of Oscar Beckwith, better known as "The Cannibal of Austerlitz." In 1882, the body of a local resident was found cooking in the stove of Oscar Beckwith! He claims that it was a case of self defense....how the cannibalism self defense you ask? Damned if we know! This case has a little bit of everything. Join us as we try to understand the Cannibal of Austerlitz!
