21: The Umbrella Murder - Silencing Soviet Secrets
The Umbrella Murder - A Cold War Poisoning Murder as a rule is usually a messy and noisy affair that can’t usually be carried out in broad daylight and go undetected. A murder weapon as inconspicuous as an umbrella and a micro dose of poison could however make murder swift, clean and almost painless for the victim. The death of Bulgarian defector, Georgi Markov happened in just this way. In broad daylight and with its victim not really knowing what had happened. But, who was Georgi murdered by and why?This time on Macabre London, we uncover The umbrella murder. *Apologies for some of the minor audio issues of late - I'm still working on trying to get better audio options with a limited budget and recording at home.*———————————————————You can now watch our episodes!

Spring Heeled Jack - The Victorian Slenderman
Spring Heeled Jack - The Victorian SlendermanEven before the internet, people created strange unimaginable beasts and the Victorians managed to dedicate whole newspapers to the monsters supposedly living across the UK in the form of Penny Dreadful periodicals. But what happens when one of those monsters comes to life and starts terrorising the streets of London. This time on Macabre London, we uncover the story of Spring Heeled Jack. Find out about the many different guises Spring Heeled Jack appeared in. How his help in distracting from a fire in the financial district may have been a clever inception by the press and whether he may still be around today. Join us to find out the story of who this person was and how they terrorised the Victorians. ———————————————————You can now watch our episodes!
