    Episode 91: The Hammersmith Ghost Murder

    As Victorian ghost stories go, few are as bizarre as the case of the Hammersmith Ghost. How did the search for an elusive ghoul, in what was then a rural-feeling village on the outskirts of London, end up in a murder trial which would haunt the British legal system for over 180 years? This tale is full of strange twists and unexpected turns, and whilst some aspects of the case are considered officially solved, there are still plenty of mysterious details that will stick with you for a long time after listening to this episode… Mental health resources UK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mind.org.uk/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Mental health resources Global: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://unitedgmh.org/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Where to find us!

    Episode 90: Who Was 'Mary Ellen'?

    Just before Christmas in 1982, a grim discovery was made in the cellar of a house in the Greater Manchester town of Bolton. Human remains, belonging to a woman, were found in a partially-mummified state. But how long had she been there? And why could no one work out who she was? This is the story of ‘Mary Ellen’, which grows stranger and more complex with every new detail and connection that emerges… Mental health resources UK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mind.org.uk/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Mental health resources Global: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://unitedgmh.org/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Domestic Violence Help Info: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/getting-help-for-domestic-violence/ Where to find us!

    Episode 89: The Green Children of Woolpit

    For centuries, the Green Children of Woolpit story was seen as little more than a folktale that took place in a small Suffolk village during the 12th century. But what if there was more truth to it than many had previously imagined? Over 800 years on, the debate about this fascinating case rumbles on, with explanations for the sudden presence of these green-skinned children in the village of Woolpit ranging from the scientific to the supernatural. In this episode, Chyaz explores each angle of this incredibly compelling medieval mystery… Mental health resources UK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mind.org.uk/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Mental health resources Global: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://unitedgmh.org/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Where to find us!

    Episode 88: The Amazing Survival Story of Harrison Okene

    In 2013, a team of divers headed down to a boat that had capsized 20km off the coast of Nigeria. It had been almost three days since the Jascon-4 vessel had sunk, after being hit by a freak wave in the early hours of the morning. The divers were expecting it to be a recovery mission, bringing the bodies of the poor souls who had lost their lives in the disaster to the surface until a hand reached out to them in the darkness. This is the astonishing story of Harrison Okene, and how he survived for almost three days at the bottom of the ocean.

    Episode 87: Silpho Moor UFO Incident

    In 1957, three men spotted something very unusual in the sky close to the village of Silpho in North Yorkshire. A glowing object, which appeared to crash land on a nearby moor. The strange item, which resembled a small flying saucer, was quickly located, and naturally the discovery made headlines. But whilst many locals were excited by the prospect of the area having its very own UFO, news about the bizarre finding quickly dried up that was, until an exciting development came to light in 2018. In this episode, Chyaz dives into the story behind the Silpho Moor UFO Incident, a case which may just leave you with more questions than answers… Mental health resources UK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mind.org.uk/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Mental health resources Global: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://unitedgmh.org/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Where to find us!

    Episode 86: The Witch of Wall Street

    Hetty Green, better known as the ‘Witch of Wall Street’, may just be one of the most unique and eccentric women you’ve never heard of. After growing her fortune through clever investments during the 1800s in New York City, she became a peer of the likes of Andrew Carnegie and J.P. Morgan…despite the fact she wasn’t even allowed to vote. But rather than celebrating her achievements, the press became fixated on her unusual personality and peculiar lifestyle. So, who was the real person behind the ‘Witch of Wall Street’ moniker? Chyaz explores this fascinating tale...

    Episode 85: How A 'Bog Body' Solved A Murder

    How did a 1,600 year old ‘bog body’ help to solve a murder? In the early 1980s, near the affluent town of Wilmslow in Cheshire, several discoveries were made in a local peat bog which caught the attention of archaeologists from around the world. Incredibly well-preserved human remains were found within the peat, with one particular finding setting off a chain of events that led to answers in a 20+ year old cold case. Join Chyaz as she explores the tales of the Lindow Man, the Lindow Woman and the murder of Malika Maria de Ferdandez… Mental health resources UK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mind.org.uk/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Mental health resources Global: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://unitedgmh.org/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Where to find us!

    Episode 84: The Dancing Plague of 1518

    In the sweltering heat of summer, during July of 1518, the city of Strasbourg was consumed by a plague…just not necessarily the kind you may be thinking of. After a lady named Frau Troffea began to spontaneously dance in the streets, this compulsion to move soon spread throughout the city, and before long hundreds of residents had been swept up by this ‘dancing mania’. Though it sounds idyllic in theory, the reality was very different, and the Strasbourg ‘dancing plague’ soon turned deadly. But what caused this mass display to take hold in the first place? In today’s episode, Chyaz explores the theories that have been presented over the centuries, and offers up a perspective of her own too… Mental health resources UK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mind.org.uk/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Mental health resources Global: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://unitedgmh.org/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Where to find us!
