She baked pies for her neighbours — and buried her husbands in the garden. Meet Nanny Doss: The Giggling Granny.

She looked like everyone’s favourite grandmother — smiling, baking, and always laughing.
But Nanny Doss’s laughter hid a terrible secret. Over three decades, she poisoned, smothered, and strangled 11 members of her own family — husbands, children, her mother, even her sister.

Her motive? A twisted mix of romance, resentment, and control. Known as The Giggling Granny, Doss confessed with a smile — and kept on giggling as she described each killing in detail.

In this episode of The A–Z of Psychopaths, Simon Ford uncovers the monstrous psychology behind the apron and the smile. Was Nanny Doss simply a product of her time… or something far more chilling?

Like and share with your psychopathically inclined friends — and tell us which psycho you’d like to hear next because we can always start again at A. There’s no shortage of psychopaths in our sick, sad world… is there?
