Ever wonder what Stonehenge is made from? The clue is in the title...but someone else has decided to make it from Spam.Today we're combining both July and August in this episode as Spamhenge was apparently the only weird thing that happened in July. To make up for it though, we have two tales in August which are both very odd.First up we have the case of the Coleman family which is a very sad tale (skip to 07:31 if you want to miss it) and then we head to something not so dark to discover the history behind London's oldest statue, King Alfred, which may actually be older than once thought, dating back to the roman times, 700 years before Alfred was even born!Thanks so much for watching!If you are new here, you may not know that Macabre London is a fortnightly podcast and YouTube show that delves into Londons haunted and gruesome history alongside discovering Macabre mini Mysteries from all over the world!

Two bodies found in a locked room but who was the murderer? | Miriam Angel & Israel Lipski
You can watch this episode here: https://youtu.be/8TkL_p03UqIOn a dull and overcast morning on Tuesday the 28th of june 1887, a curious situation occured at a lodging house in the east end of London. The body of a young woman was found on her bed in her lodging house. Her skin was quickly eroding from her face and arms. What had happened to this woman and why was her skin disintegrating. Furthermore, was the person responsible still nearby, perhaps peering out from under the bed watching the chaos unfold. And subsequently, what would this murder have to do with the murders of 5 women in the East end by Jack the Ripper which began just a year later. Today on Macabre London, we uncover the murder of Miriam Angel.Thanks so much for watching!
