Macabre London

London's worst executioner was scared of his own axe! Jack Ketch was great at being a butcher but not so great as an executioner. He performed two of the worst executions during the 1600's and his name became synonymous with incompetence. But why was he so awful at his job and who forced him to carry out the profession?Video version: https://youtu.be/mMrM0Ut0-xcMagic Mind: https://magicmind.co/products/magic-mind?utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=%2Fmacabre&selling_plan=445022342And use offer code: MACABRE Thanks so much for listening / watching!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PATREON——————————-If you like the podcast and would like them to continue then please support us on Patreon. www.patreon.com/macabrelondonThank you to our executive producer patrons - Amy, Christina, Jess, Kate, Kevin, Mary, Sally, Sam, Sarah and VeronicaAnd to all of our wonderful $5 tier patrons...AlexisAndreaAndrewChristineDavidDeniseHelenJenniferJoKathrynKristieRachelRy FrSSabrinaShannonWendyAnd thanks to all other patrons too!ONE OFF DONATIONS————————————————You can make a one off donation to support the show via the PayPal link here:paypal.me/macabrelondonAMAZON WISHLIST——————————————————please visit my Amazon wish list.http://amzn.eu/dJxEf1V​​​​​​SOCIAL MEDIA---------------------------------------------Insta: @nikkimacabrelondonTwitter: @macabrelondonFacebook: @macabrelondonEmail: macabrelondon@hotmail.comWebsite: www.macabrelondon.comSources-------------https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_Kingdomhttps://www.livescience.com/medieval-executioner-life.htmlhttps://www.ourcivilisation.com/smartboard/shop/macaulay/england/monmouth.htmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyHkFIX6Z0o&t=185https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Scott,_1st_Duchess_of_Buccleuchhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Scott,_1st_Duke_of_Monmouthhttp://www.executedtoday.com/2014/07/21/1683-lord-russell-whig-martyr/ Hosted on Acast.

Here’s a preview of Bad Women: The Blackout Ripper. Over a single week in February 1942, a depraved serial killer stalked London’s dark and WWII bomb-ravaged streets, hunting for victims in the city’s bars and clubs. But the victims of the so-called Blackout Ripper are now all but forgotten. Using new research from police files, court transcripts and exhaustive genealogical studies, season 2 of Hallie Rubenhold’s Bad Women reconstructs the lives of the women The Blackout Ripper brutally attacked and murdered and examines why their deaths were swept from view.

The last place you'd expect Aliens to want to visit is the Isle of Wight but I can see why it might be an enticing destination for them. It's quiet, secluded and the perfect place to touch down without being noticed. However, two children did just that, spotting perhaps the strangest sighting of an alien being ever recorded. Part clown, part wooden human...all terrifying. but was this an actual visitation from an E.T or maybe there had been consumption of some wild mushrooms which lead to a joint hallucination?This time on Macabre Mini Mysteries, we uncover the story of Sam, the Sandown clown.Please check out the @Loremen Podcast podcast which is where I first heard about this story and also @Cool Dudes Walking Club where Marek has an episode all about this subject, going on the hunt for the clown himself.Video version: https://youtu.be/d3looVakvwEMAGIC MINDThanks to todays sponsor - Magic Mind.Please use the link below to get 40% off a subscription or 20% off a one time purchase by using the code MACABRE20https://www.magicmind.co/macabre----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PATREON——————————-please support us on Patreon.www.patreon.com/macabrelondonThank you to our executive producer patrons - Amy, Barry, Kate, Kevin, Mary, Ren, Sam, Sarah and VeronicaAnd to all of our wonderful $5 tier patrons...AlexisAndrewChristineDavidDeniseHelenJenniferJoKathrynKristieRy FrSSabrinaShannonWendyAnd thanks to all other patrons too!ONE OFF DONATIONS————————————————You can make a one off donation to support the show via the PayPal link here:paypal.me/macabrelondonAMAZON WISHLIST——————————————————please visit my Amazon wish list.http://amzn.eu/dJxEf1V​​​​​​SOCIAL MEDIA---------------------------------------------Insta: @macabrelondonpodcastTwitter: @macabrelondonFacebook: @macabrelondonEmail: macabrelondon@hotmail.comWebsite: www.macabrelondon.com Hosted on Acast.
