A Round Robin of Murder: Chilling Christmas Stories You’ve Never Heard
News of the Times Episode 417 | 1888 - 1925
In today’s episode we take a look at some of the murderous activities from Decembers past!
Our first story from 1888 is not a murder in the truest sense, although when the wife turned detectives discovers her husband’s extramarital activities the police probably seem a safer bet!
Our second story, also from 1888, is the story of a countess whose long time friend of the family wants more.
Our third story from 1891 is a fascinating story that takes place on a ship!  A murderer is caught but escapes and remains hidden on the ship for weeks as they are at sea.  Will he strike again in their sleep?
Our fourth story from 1895 is an ex-maid of a hotel who is certain she has been hypnotised to kill the manager’s children.
Our fifth story from 1925 recounts the murderous lengths some people will go to get a house for their new bride.
Our further particulars story revolves around a very active Christmas ghost!
