Strange Stories UK : Madness and murder in Swanage, Dorset.
Send us a Text Message.I am posting this short podcast as the podcasts that I have been working on have become rather complicated, I will finish and broadcast them later. One is about corruption in the Metropolitan police force in London during the 1970s, the other is a paranormal case. I have started and completed this short podcast on a rainy Sunday in May 2024.

Customer Reviews
Well researched interesting pod
I find this podcast to be so rich in detail, I just listened to the Constance Marten and really appreciated the extra detail that you don’t get in the more court focused pods. The level of research put in and detail shared, in each episode, makes me less concerned about the lo-fi unedited style. In fact it’s refreshing not to have sudden music breaks and so on.
Creator moor
I listened to the creator moor podcast and was disgusted at how you described cleator moor at the end of the podcast. Maybe u should visit and see our lovely town before making such comments
Very biased opinion
I have listened to many of the podcasts surrounding the Constance Marten case. I find this particular podcast to be incredibly biased in its opinion.
If one is going to portray evidence given from a court case then please do try and give the information correctly, especially when it’s regarding an expert. You seem to have conveniently forget to mention that Professor Peter Fleming gave evidence based on what he was told by Constance Marten, which could, as the prosecution pointed out, have been complete lies.
Please do listen to a podcast that is presented by someone who can pronounce the word Mongolian rather than calling them Mongels.
