  • Charles Dickens Loved These Trash Books! | Exploring The Terrific Register

    Charles Dickens loved a trashy book or two and who are we to blame him! Today I explore why this may have been his favourite book and what made him draw inspiration from it as I read a few stories from the Terrific Register.


    Today on Macabre London, we uncover some stories from The Terrific Register

  • The Mystery of the Flannan Isles Lighthouse and why everything we know, is wrong! | Macabre Mini Mystery

    A top a windswept rocky outcrop stands a lonely lighthouse. Its job for many years has been to forewarn sailors that their boats are at risk of striking one of the many jagged rocks that are hidden deep below the surface which could cause a devastating shipwreck.


    The lamp which was tended to by three hardy keepers on rotation from the mainland of Scotland, one day went dark and when the watch came to replace the men from the isolated island they were nowhere to be found and the lighthouse itself was deserted sparking one of the greatest mysteries of all time.


    Today on Macabre Mini Mysteries, we uncover the story of the abandoned Flannan Lighthouse and the fate of its three missing keepers.

  • The deadliest woman of all time? | Giulia Tofana the killer witch of Italy

    When most people think of serial killers and perhaps the most prolific of them all, a woman's name isn't the first to spring to mind.


    The act of murder is not solely exclusive to just men but…it’s statistically proven that serial killers are more likely to be male.

    However, what if I told you it may just be possible that the most prolific serial killer in history was an Italian woman who over a period of almost 20 years racked up around 600 victims.


    Today on Macabre Mini Mysteries, we uncover the story of Giulia Tofana, the make-up murderess.

  • BURIED ALIVE! and other horrific stories from London's Cemeteries

    The fear of death is very natural, after all, it’s an inevitable part of life and I'm sorry to break to you and start on a cheery note but every single one of you, will one day be dead.


    For some people, the fear of dying is so great that they can be considered Thanataphobes, suffering from an intense fear of death and the dying process.


    For most people, it’s a nagging inevitability that once happened, doesn't bear much thinking about but what if one day you went in for the big sleep but then found yourself waking up surrounded by the claustrophobic walls of a silk lined coffin with no way to get out!


    Today on Macabre London, we uncover the many stories of people buried alive in London's cemeteries.

  • The Song So Sad It Killed People | The Legend Behind "Gloomy Sunday"

    *Please be aware this episode discusses topics on the theme of depression, self harm, suicide & The Holocaust. Listener discretion is advised*


    There are many things in life which may lead people to question their existence and place in the world but out of all the external factors which can lead to a bout of the black dog creeping in, a song may not be the first thing that springs to mind that would trigger it. 

    A simple song created by a composer in Hungary in 1933 is said to be responsible for a number of deaths and lore has grown around the composition which says the tune itself is now cursed and any listen of it should be done so with a significant warning. 

    But is the tune a trigger for depression so extreme it would lead to multiple people ending it all or is the legacy of its creation something far darker which would go on to change history forever...


    Today on Macabre Mini Mysteries, we uncover the legend behind Gloomy Sunday otherwise known as the suicide song..

  • The Torturous Life of Joseph Merrick | The Elephant Man | Victorian History

    It will come as no surprise that in the late 19th century, people who had any kind of disability were treated differently.


    Those who had health conditions or impairments often faced social ostracization, couldn’t get jobs and often found themselves down and out without any prospects,

    and in a cut throat Victorian oppressive society, this meant that life could be a very uncomfortable ride.


    But, for one man, he used the public fascination in his disability to his advantage to make a living, but sadly his story descended into a raw and tragic tale of Victorian exploitation, one which would end in an untimely death.


    Today on Macabre London, we’ll be uncovering the tale of Joseph Merrick, The Elephant man.
