Send us Fan Mail Society of Psychical Research investigations 1917 and 1918. Usual poor narration, warning this is lo-fi, recorded in one take and no editing. There are also mistakes. I call Oliver lodge a physicist when he was a physician. I was conscious of this mistake at the time but there may be more. I am not a professional podcaster, I just enjoy making them rather than watching tv or scrolling through social media. I have full time work and am trying to rewild the farmland aroun...
Send us Fan Mail Please be advised that this is not a podcast but an announcement. I feel sorry that I have to make this boring and tedious announcement, but I feel I have to stand up to a fellow podcaster who I find an arrogant bully.
Send a text Part 2 of the Biddy Gold murder investigation. Crime gangs, corrupt police, suspicions about Bernie Silvers. Please be advised, recorded in one take without editing.
Send a text 1975 was a time of corruption in Central London. There was a power struggle taking place over the vice trade in Soho. The Bernie Silvers led Syndicate was losing control of the area after investigations into corruption had exposed it. Although Silvers was in jail there may have been attempts to silence those who may have know of other crimes. Bent police were a complication in trying to understand what was going on. Different OCGs had different corrupt police helping them. I...
Send a text This podcast is about events and a mystery that took place in London during 1950. A very different London than exists today. The story centres on a small cafe in Paddington. Told in one take and without editing.
Send a text This is a story you have not heard before. It comes from the unpublished papers of Eric Dingwall. It concerns an incident at Ham Hill in Somerset that was investigated by Dingwall. Not much happens and not much is resolved but it has some interest of the type of investigation, the state of knowledge and the history of the area in 1950s Uk. The podcast is recorded in one take, there is no editing and I am chasing animals in and out of the recording studio which is a room in the att...
Send a text Warning. This episode is not suitable for children. The police files on this case were released to the public in 1924. It tells of a dreadful event in Blackburn during 1948. The podcast is recorded in one take and has not been edited.
Send a text This is another podcast looking at some investigations by the Society of Psychical Research during 1915 and 1916 during World War 1. So not a podcast to interest everyone. This podcast examines some premonition and myths during the war, perhaps the best known being the Angels of Mons. It also looks at some other strange events and makes an evaluation on them.
Send a text Two murders unconnected within a mile and three days of each other in Plumstead, a district in South East London. This podcast is recorded in one take without editing.
Send a text Please be advised that the podcast starts after about six minutes when I share with you an accusation made by another podcaster who has called me a disgusting plagiarist. The story when it starts, is a forgotton story about an affray at the Duke of York public house when some South African black nationalist exiles start an affray which ends in murder.
Send a text I thought I would try something a little different for the podcast during 2026. Each month (in conjunction with the usual podcast content) I shall broadcast a podcast giving selected stories from SPR’s journal as they have been bound together (two years at a time) in the British Library. I am starting with the journals from 1913/14 and will continue in chronological order. I have started with World War 1 being the start of the modern world. I can spare the time to make an SPR podc...
Send a text This is the last podcast of 2025, calling it William Hepper of Chelsea and Brighton. painter, spy, BBC employee and child killer. A case you are unlikely to have ever known about. An unpleasant story, I try not to comment, please listen and make up your own mind.
Send a text Podcast 243 and the number eight Christmas podcast. This case took place in Scotland sixty five years ago over the Christmas period of 1960 in Sauchi, Scotland. Skeptics that studied the case concluded that some of the phenomena reported was genuine although they could not be sure of what caused it. I am putting this podcast out on the shortest day of 2025, Sunday 21 Dec. This podcast is recorded in one take without editing and I am not the best narrator. For anyone that may be li...
Send a text This is a forgotten murder from a different time. 63 years ago, in the city of Newcastle a minor crime of embezzlement led to a murder. Not so much an exciting story but more of a reflection of the time. Told in one take without editing.
Send a text Another short podcast while I am away. This is a story of a couple of women who breaking up in London in 1971 had a nasty falling out. Told in one take without editing.
Send a text I am still out of the country so am posting some shorter podcasts to keep the podcast ticking over. This one concerns a case from 1963 going on to 1967. The podcast is recorded in a studio that is soundproofed but visited by various cats and dogs and sometimes other creatures. This podcast is set in Soho, Central London an area where I used to work and knew quite well back in the late 1980s.
Send a text This is a short podcast just to post something while I am away. Daisy / Dorothy Wallis started a business in High Holborn, central London. She lived a quiet home life with her parents, one wonders who would have wished her harm ?
Send a text Chloe and Josh Bashford lived at Newhaven with their four children. Their lives were ended by a family friend who killed them for no understandable reason and then claimed diminished responsibility. The killer will be sentenced on 6 November 2025. This podcast was recorded in one take with no editing with animals in the room.
Send a text This podcast has been produced while I am away, recorded with a borrowed microphone and on a MacBook laptop with which I can't seem to upload any background music. Recorded in one take without editing this is the story off the BBC's first live broadcast from a haunted house. Dene/Dean manor, Meopham, Kent on 10 March 1936.
Send a text John Kealty travelled to Mexico to write a travel guide in the style of a Lonely Planet guide twenty years before they were a thing. It did not end well.

Welcome back! This might be a one-man production, but your research is meticulous and you always choose interesting subjects (and the chickens in the background make me smile 😃)
I love the way you keep apologising for other noises, but seriously your podcast is like listening to a. uncle telling a great story. I've really enjoyed every episode , thank you so much 🤗
great series
very good podcast, obviously done alot of research tracking down various sources, really enjoyed the uk gangster episodes. have you thought of doing one on Jimmy Moody?
I visited borely rectory many years ago with some Irish drinking buddies . all we found was a great local pub and had a great night . happy memories 🤣
cash creators? don't you mean cash converters?
what was the music playing in middle of the story lol
this is one of the best podcasts I've been getting into . great stories and crimes from the past. thank you 😁😁
This is the wrong episode
great pocast, this was indeed thought provoking. note taking and public access isssues unraveled here . Simply make victim names confidential in the first place in court would make more sense.
I love these podcasts... and the rooster... well he obviously has some input to add too... lol
