The Stretching Room portrait of Abigaile Patecleaver is often misidentified as that of an elderly Constance Hatchaway. It’s as if two women couldn’t use the same method to kill the men that they… love?

Abigaile of the Stretching Room portrait was named by X. Atencio. She was around long before Constance Hatchaway replaced the Bride in the attic. Additionally, her portrait shows an axe in “Beloved” George’s head. She didn’t decapitate him, like Constance did her husbands. Someone might say that George was Constance’s first kill and she evolved her methods, but that same person would be refuting the argument that the George in the painting is the same as Constance’s last husband, whose disappearing-head photo in the attic shows he was beheaded.

“But they have the same name!” Right, because two men of a similar era can’t have the same name. I can envision the Monty Python Sketch now. You can, too, if you head over to my Patreon page and become a member.

I stand with X. Atencio and his narration – the same narration that gave us Alexander Nitrokoff. Abigaile Patecleaver and Constance Hatchaway are two different ghosts. You might not believe that a beautiful, upper-class women is capable of axing her husband to death, but there are real-life cases that would prove you wrong. If you don’t know, you better axe somebody.
