Macabre London

Sabina Nessa was found dead in Cator park In Kidbrooke South East London after being brutally murdered. She wasn't found until 5:30pm the next day. Her body had been covered by leaves. Police have arrested and charged Koci Selamaj for her murder. He is awaiting trial.

Sarah Everard was kidnapped by policeman Wayne Couzens who falsely arrested her. She was raped, murdered and her body was burned by him. He has been given a life sentence.

It's not just the high profile cases like Sabina's or Sarah's but 1000's of women face violence every single day at the hands of men they know and men they don't.

The only way to end these senseless acts of violence is to educate boys and men. Women are not objects and not something to be abused.

All money made from the episode will be going to www.whiteribbon.org a charity which provides education to men and boys in the hope of eradicating male violence, your donations will be welcomed by them.

Men: Do better.

A little rainstorm in the middle of the night would more than likely go unnoticed by the average joe, fast asleep in their beds.

One such overnight rainstorm in a little town in Washington should’ve been nothing to worry about but when residents awoke the following morning, they were treated to something unexplainable, a large amount of gelatinous blobs all over the town.

Join me as we travel down the rabbit hole and explore the Macabre Mini Mystery of the Oakville blobs.

The murder of Emily Armstrong was in danger of being lost as a story. Historical true crime is such a good learning tool for attitudes of the past and today, we learn about not one, not two but THREE unsolved murders in the same area of London which may have just had a little to do with each other, particularly when it came to how the victims were treated.

The Mary Celeste is one of the best unsolved mysteries of all time but is it really unsolved? Or do we love the untrue version of this yarn which makes it far more interesting!

Join me on this episode of Macabre Mini Mysteries as i delve into the true story of the ghost ship and try and solve this unsolved mystery once and for all.

I delve into the many Mary Celeste theories that have been put forward over the years since the disaster and try to work out exactly what happened to the Mary Celeste once and for all.

Was it an explosion, pirates, mutiny, murder, insurance fraud or possibly aliens or the kraken?

no spoilers but...it wasn't any of those.

join me as i take a deep dive to Davy Jones' locker and bring an end to the speculation. I think my theory may just be the one to solve it :P

Let me know your theories in the comments!!

The ancient Egyptian king Tutankhamun was happily resting in the after life when Howard Carter, a down and out archaeologist exacted a plan to discover the lost king.

However, he may have got more than he bargained for when he broke into the tomb when along with the undamged treasures of the dead kings life, came an ancient curse from his mummy (I mean his body, not his mother!) Or, did it?

Today, we uncover the story of Howard Carter and the curse of King Tutankhamun!

The weird history of the 1904 Olympics is insane. The Louisiana Worlds Fair hosted the 1904 Olympics Games and the marathon event was so poorly organised it nearly caused many of the competitors to lose their lives. Wild dogs, poison, cheating and dust wreaked havoc with the runners and it's surprising anyone managed to finish let alone win!

Join me today for another Macabre Mini Mystery as I delve into the 1904 Olympic Marathon.

*I made a few geographical mistakes in the video (was concentrating on the story, not the place, oops!) So.... 

St. Louis is pronounced “Lewis” and only called by the French pronunciation as a nickname or slang. I keep saying Louisiana, but the 1904 St. Louis olympics were in St. Louis, Missouri. The Louisiana Purchase includes territory that is now divided into several states, Missouri among them.

So before you feel the need to email me or to leave a 1 star review, please know, geography is hard, particularly if you're not from there!! *

Thomas Neill Cream was a real nasty piece of work! He used his position of power as a doctor to manipulate his patients, offering them treatments they couldn't afford for free and then used those medications to poison his victims!

Join me today as I dive into the world of the infamous Lambeth Poisoner and uncover his story and that of his victims.

On the evening of the 30th of October 1938, puffs of green gas were seen erupting at regular intervals by astronomers from the planet Mars and that something was headed on its way toward earth.

The unusual activity was reported live on the radio to over a million listeners.

Once the unidentified flying object had reached our planet, it crash landed in the nowhere town of Grover's Mill New Jersey.

What was seemingly a meteorite, was inhabited and what was inside was proving to be decidedly hostile.

Radio listeners heard eerie reports from live at the scene and when the Martians started to move, using a deadly heat ray which set anything it touched aflame, the broadcast went silent.

Those hearing the broadcast fearing for their lives fled their homes, called their loved ones and police stations received droves of enquiries asking what to do.

Today we’ll be uncovering the mystery behind the hoax as we uncover the macabre mini mystery of Orson Welles' War Of The Worlds.
