Send us a text The story of Reverend Davidson, the vicar of Stiffkey dominated the newspapers in the early 1930s. This is the story. The Lion and Albert, By Stanley Holloway was a comic monologue inspired by actual events they had heard about in 1932. The events in this podcast happened in 1937. Nevertheless, I have put the lyrics here for anyone unfamiliar with the verse. There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool That's noted for fresh air and fun And Mr. and Mrs. Ramsbotto...

Send us a text A story that rambles on about the murder of Worthing based amateur archaeologist John Pull on 10 November 1960. He was shot in a bank being raided by teenagers. There is an interesting contrast between John Pull who contributed so much during his life, compared to the nihilistic life style of those responsible for his death. His wannabe gangster killer actually claimed to be a reincarnation of the long dead American gangster Legs Diamond.
Send us a text A forgotten murder that took place in Middlesborough during December 1972. A vicious murder for the sake of a few pounds so the killer could place some bets at the Bookies. RIP Nellie Tighe.
Send us a text Hello anyone reading or listening to this. Sorry it has been so long since my last pod. This case dates back to 1961 but it is an interesting case, virtually forgotten today.

Send us a text The Helen Duncan seances at Portsmouth during WW2, allegedly called the spirit of a sailor who died aboard the HMS Barham which had been lost with almost 900 onboard. The spirit sailor told Duncan of the loss. It was top secret and nobody was supposed to have knowledge of it, so was this proof that spirits called at the séance were genuine? Well of course not, but other documentaries on the subject were coy about telling the story suggesting or hinting that it...
Send us a text Pathological jealousy, Sandbanks, Dorset murder. This case dates from 1972, it is an unknown case, I can find no information about it online. The information comes from files in the National Archives. The podcast is told in one take and there is no editing. I think there is some frog and sparrow noise in the background. I will attempt a change of subject matter for the next pod.
Send us a text I am sure nobody listening would have ever heard about this case. The actual case files will not be released until 2057, 100 years plus after the case so there is something to be kept secret. It is a short podcast, with a lot of padding because there is no information. Recorded in lo-fi in one take with no editing. I will post some photos on the F/B site, not however the corpses which were quite horrifying. Hubert Douglas, If still alive would be 87 today, he seemed...
Send us a text An unpleasnt story, the court case said a sordid murder, so maybe not for all. Ilchester, Somerset 1972. I will post some photographs on the F/B site.
Send us a text A dreadful story about how three young men in their 20s, fashionable Mods found themselves crossing a line and ruining their lives, killing others with a series of bad decisions in the Swinging London of 1968.
Send us a text This is a disjointed ramble about some stories from the Isle of Wight, mainly from the 1960s. A murder at the Blacksmith's Arms, A murder at Carisbrooke, some possible paranormal stories, some local history and some aircraft crashes on the chalk Downs. I usually read up on the stories making a few notes beforehand and then write them and post them in a day so I am afraid they are not that well produced or professional. This is a one person attempt to create a podcast and I do n...

Send us a text A story based during World War 2, a double murder committed by a younger male who did nothing to help the war effort who seemed totally selfish and was a danger to women. I can only find one other podcast that has covered this podcast, which was Murder Mile, which is a recommended listen. This podcast was recorded in one take and has not been edited, I hesitate and mispronounce as usual. On listening to playback, there is a pug dog snoring in the background, so sorr...

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
