The Life of William Morgan and His Abduction
In this podcast episode, the life of William Morgan and his decision to write an exposé of the Masonic order are discussed. Morgan was abducted in 1826 and never seen again, sparking immediate criticism of the Freemasons and volunteer investigators seeking to uncover the truth. His publishing partner, Colonel Miller, published Morgan's incomplete manuscript, which exposed the opening ceremonies, initiation rituals, and symbols of the Masonic lodge. The book, however, did not reveal any shocking secrets, mostly containing benign ceremonies and messages of honor and fraternity. Despite numerous confessions and speculations about Morgan's fate, there has never been a conclusive resolution to his case.
