    The Sacrifice of Nadia Roccia: Murder, Dreams and a Dead Father

    In 1998, eighteen-year-old Nadia Roccia was murdered by two young women she knew in the small Italian town of Castelluccio dei Sauri. The killing had been planned in advance, complete with an earlier poisoning attempt and a false suicide story, but the motive remained far harder to explain. One of the women claimed that the dead father of her closest friend had appeared in dreams demanding a death, while investigators and the courts considered jealousy, money, obsession, occult beliefs and the intense relationship between the two killers.

    The Curse of Leonarda Cianciulli: The Soap-Maker of Correggio

    Content note: This episode discusses three murders, dismemberment and the disposal of human remains, including a reported claim that a victim’s blood was used in food. It also refers to pregnancy loss, the deaths of young children and suicide attempts. Leonarda Cianciulli believed she had been cursed, told that her children would die and that her own future would end in prison or an asylum. After losing thirteen pregnancies or children, she became fiercely protective of the four who survived. When war threatened her eldest son, Giuseppe, Leonarda later claimed she began making human sacrifices to keep him safe. Between 1939 and 1940, three women disappeared after accepting her help, and Leonarda eventually confessed to killing and dismembering them, disposing of their bodies with caustic soda and, according to her own account, using some of the remains in soap and cakes.

    The Yatton Demoniac & The Hexham Heads | How Haunted? Crossover

    In this special crossover episode, I’m joined by Rob Kirkup from How Haunted? to explore two of Britain’s strangest paranormal cases. I tell the story of George Lukins, the so-called Yatton Demoniac, whose alleged possession led to a notorious exorcism in Bristol in 1788. Rob then takes us to Northumberland for the bizarre case of the Hexham Heads, two mysterious stone heads linked to reports of poltergeist activity, strange creatures and a haunting that became one of the UK’s most unusual supernatural mysteries.

    For decades, drivers on the A75 through Dumfries and Galloway have reported people, animals and other figures appearing suddenly in the road before vanishing without a trace. From the Kinmount Straight and the Ferguson brothers’ extraordinary 1962 encounter to later reports of drivers believing they had struck pedestrians who were nowhere to be found, the road has built a reputation as one of Scotland’s strangest stretches of tarmac.
