    The Horrifying Crimes of Dennis Nilsen and the Sad Truth of the Missing Victims - PT 2

    On the 8th of February 1983, police were called to a top floor flat in a suburban area of London. The man that had made the call was a plumber and the reason he’d got in contact was as he’d discovered something unusual. When residents started complaining of the drains being backed up and a strange smell emanating from the property, the plumber came to clear the suspected blockage, however what he found under the manhole cover would reveal a dark and terrifying story, one which had been kept secret for a number of years. With a disturbing secret uncovered, police raided the home and arrested the tennant on suspicion of murder, but what he would go on to reveal would haunt them revealing their own incompetencies right before their very eyes. Today on Macabre London, we uncover part two of the story of the Muswell Hill murderer, Dennis Nilsen. ------------------------- Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350 Macabre London is a fortnightly podcast and YouTube show that delves into London's haunted and gruesome history alongside discovering Macabre mini Mysteries from all over the world!

    The Man Who Tattooed The Royal Family! The first Tattoo Shop In London - Sutherland Macdonald

    London has always been a progressive and forward thinking city. As any vibrant and changeable capital in the world will attest to, the city is only ever as interesting as its residents, and the different life experiences people bring to where they live, shaping and moulding the place into something great. Moving with the times, London has always been at the forefront of new trends and in 1888, one man made the residents of the city far more colourful, quite literally, by opening the first ever tattoo studio, one which would go on to attract some unlikely characters and even the occasional royal. Today on Macabre London, we uncover the life and times of Sutherland Macdonald, England's first tattoo artist. ------------------------ Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350 Macabre London is a fortnightly podcast and YouTube show that delves into London's haunted and gruesome history alongside discovering Macabre mini Mysteries from all over the world!

    The Grisly Thames Torso Murders - A Killer WORSE than Jack the Ripper? Or was it him?!

    If I mention murder in London during the year of 1888, one name will probably spring to mind, Jack the Ripper, but that wasn’t the only serial killer active in London at the time. A short distance away, someone was using the lifeblood of the city, the river Thames, as a place to dispose of their victims. Washing up on the shore, bodies were found along its inlets, discarded, dismembered and defiled, left to the mercy of the tidal waters in the hopes they would be washed away and forgotten. However, the river didn’t hide the secrets of this killer, it spewed forth the evidence, allowing it to float along its surface to be discovered by hapless bystanders. But who were these victims and how did they end up being mercilessly discarded into the murky depths of the Thames? With each new body that surfaced, the mystery deepened, leaving the city's residents in fear as a swathe of Londoners had not one but two unidentified murderers prowling the streets, ready to pounce at any time. Today on Macabre London, we uncover the mystery of the Thames Torso Murders. ------------------------ A big thanks to Magic Mind for their help with todays episode, You can get 20% off a one time purchase or 48% off a subscription at magicmind.com/macabrelt and use the code MACABRELT20 for your fantastic discount.  Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350 Be sure to check out my other podcast, Killers, Cults & Queens with Cheryl The Queen https://podfollow.com/queens --------------------------- SUPPORT ME ———————— ONE OFF DONATIONS: Paypal - paypal.me/macabrelondon KO-FI: ko-fi.com/macabrelondon PATREON: www.patreon.com/macabrelondon AMAZON WISHLIST - http://amzn.eu/dJxEf1V​​​​​​ MERCH! - https://macabrelondon-shop.fourthwall.com PATREON - www.patreon.com/macabrelondon ——————————- Thank you to our executive producer patrons - Christina, Christophe, Lisa, M, Ravelle, Sally, Sam, Sarah, Terri, Teresa, Vee, Veronica And to all of our wonderful £5 tier patrons...

    Who Was Aleister Crowley? Magician, Lover, Spy? Or a fantasist? | The Many Lives Of

    In a post Victorian London, a man was immersing himself in a world that both fascinated and terrified him. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, he embarked on experiments aimed at transforming his reality into something more profound and meaningful, seeking to make his mark on the world. This quest for the otherworldly led him to travel the globe, yet he remained tethered to London, unable to resist its magnetic pull. The city's allure only deepened his love for Magick and fueled his ambition to become the most powerful magician ever. This ambition culminated in a dramatic spell-casting duel with members of the secret society, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a confrontation that nearly turned deadly and which ultimately brought about the group's downfall. The unconventional wizard fight drew police intervention and subsequent court proceedings, thrusting this dark arts practitioner into the public eye but little did everyone realise, things were about to get a hell of a lot weirder. Coupled with a penchant for narcotics, an addiction to adult activities, and the mysterious death of a follower in Italy, his life became a cauldron of controversy that ultimately shaped modern occultism as we know it. Today on Macabre London, we uncover part two of our exploration into the magical world of the self proclaimed beast 666 - Aleister Crowley. ------------------------ Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350 Macabre London is a fortnightly podcast and YouTube show that delves into London's haunted and gruesome history alongside discovering Macabre mini Mysteries from all over the world!

    The Many Lives of Aleister Crowley & The Wizard Battle That Went to Court!

With an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, he soon leant into experiments which would see him trying to twist the world he knew into something more profound, meaningful and worthy of his time on the planet. This pursuit of the otherworldly would see him travel the globe but he always found himself tethered to London, unable to escape its magnetic pull and his pursuit of becoming the most powerful magician to have ever lived came to a head when he ended up having a spell casting duel with secret society members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn which threatened to turn deadly. This unconventional wizard fight, culminated in the police being called and the matter being taken to court which catapulted the purveyor of the dark arts into the public eye. Throw into the mix a penchant for narcotics, an addiction to adult activities and the mysterious death of a follower in Italy and you have a potion for a life that would go on to shape modern day occultism as we now know it.

    Charles Bravo & The Curious Case of the Unsolved Murder Mystery at the Priory

    In a palatial South London home, a pained scream rang out into the night. As the residents of the home rushed to the aid of the man who had called out, the only thing they could do was watch whilst he writhed in pain. After the maid was sent to grab mustard and hot water to assist his gripe, it was plain to see that he’d been poisoned as his hands helplessly tried to calm his burned throat and everyone in the room knew that whatever happened next would be incredibly painful for him. After 3 agonising days, the man passed away but everyone who was in the house on the night of the poisoning was now a suspect and with the man having many an enemy, the murder case would unfold to become one of the Victorian Era’s most shocking and scandalous whodunnits. Today on Macabre London, we uncover the murder of Charles Bravo and the mystery at The Priory. Thank you to todays sponsor London Nootropics!

    The Real Reason Victorians Were Obsessed with Death! | Victorian Mourning Practices

    In the Victorian era in London, the city sat under a black shroud. The capital was in mourning for a lost monarch and its residents were ushered under the wing of sadness to join in with the bereft queen. As this sadness swept the nation, the resulting impact had a strange effect. Pair this with the recent industrial revolution which could make items faster and also had a habit of sending workers to an early grave, a whole industry was created which serviced those who had been touched by deaths’ boney hands or more importantly, those it left behind. Today on Macabre London, we uncover the era of a city in mourning. ------------------------ Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350 Macabre London is a fortnightly podcast and YouTube show that delves into London's haunted and gruesome history alongside discovering Macabre mini Mysteries from all over the world!
