    Case File #005: The Green Children of Woolpit

    The Green Children of Woolpit: Two Children, One Very Strange Mystery 🌿 Imagine two children appearing in a medieval English village. They speak a language nobody recognizes, their skin has an unusual green tint, and their story only gets stranger from there. Welcome to Woolpit, England, where a centuries-old mystery has left us with more questions than answers. In this episode of Murder Most Brewed, we’re digging into the strange tale of the Green Children of Woolpit—a story recorded by medieval chroniclers that has fascinated people for generations. Who were these children? Where did they come from? And what was the mysterious place one of them reportedly described after learning to communicate? We’ll explore the surviving historical accounts, the theories that have grown around the story, and the details that make this one of history’s most unusual mysteries. Were the children displaced from a place the villagers didn’t recognize? Did a real encounter become something stranger as the story passed through generations? Or is there a piece of this puzzle we’ll never be able to put back together? One thing is certain: medieval England had some explaining to do. And Brew Crew, a little friendly advice? If two green children emerge from the woods speaking a language you don’t understand, maybe don’t follow them into a mysterious cave. Oh, and eat your green beans. 🌿😂 ☕ Pour yourself something warm, settle in, and join me for a mystery that has lingered for nearly nine hundred years. Murder Most Brewed — where history gets strange, the mysteries linger, and there’s always room for one more cup. Murder Most Brewed is a reader-supported publication.

    The Atlanta Blood House: The House that Bled

    What would you do if you found blood inside your home… but no one in the house was bleeding? In September 1987, an elderly Atlanta couple made a disturbing discovery inside their home. Red liquid appeared throughout multiple rooms, and when investigators arrived, they found what appeared to be blood. Then laboratory testing made the story even stranger: the substance was confirmed to be human blood. But there was no obvious victim. No body. No clear source. And eventually, the homeowner changed his explanation of what had happened. So what really happened inside the Atlanta Blood House? In this October episode of Murder Most Brewed, we’re opening the file on one of the strangest unexplained stories of the 1980s—separating what was actually reported from the paranormal theories that grew around the case. Was there a perfectly ordinary explanation hiding somewhere inside the story? Or is this one of those mysteries that was never meant to be neatly solved? ☕ Grab your coffee, turn down the lights, and open the file. Sources & further reading: Contemporary 1987 reporting and investigative accounts were used to distinguish documented details from later retellings and paranormal claims.

    Case File #003 Lynne Weedon: The Shortcut Home

    In 1975, sixteen-year-old Lynne Weedon left a pub in Hounslow after celebrating her O-level results with friends. She was walking home. It should have been an ordinary night. Instead, Lynne took a shortcut known as Short Hedges—and somewhere along that path, someone attacked her. Lynne survived the attack, but she never regained consciousness. She died days later. For decades, her murder remained unsolved. Then, more than thirty years later, investigators made a connection to another murder: the 1975 killing of 22-year-old Eve Stratford. Two women. Two separate attacks. One connection that would finally give investigators something they hadn’t had before. But even after DNA linked the cases, one question remained: Who was the man responsible? In this episode of Murder Most Brewed, we’re following Lynne’s story, the connection to Eve Stratford, and the investigation that has kept searching for answers for decades. And this time, we’re telling it a little differently. This is Brewed style—less like a documentary being read to you and more like sitting down over coffee and talking through a case together. Because sometimes the most important part of a cold case isn’t just figuring out what happened. It’s remembering who was there. Case File #003: The Shortcut Home The file remains open.

    Case File #002: Four Went Camping. Three Never Came Home. | The Lake Bodom Murders

    Four teenagers went camping beside a quiet lake in Finland. By morning, three were dead. One was alive—but badly injured, with no memory of what had happened during the night. On June 5, 1960, Maila Irmeli Björklund, Anja Tuulikki Mäki, Seppo Antero Boisman, and Nils Gustafsson spent the night at Lake Bodom in Espoo, Finland. What happened before dawn would become one of Finland’s most infamous unsolved mysteries. The tent was torn apart. Three teenagers were killed. Nils Gustafsson survived, but his memory of the attack was gone. The murder weapon was never found, and questions surrounding the investigation would follow the case for decades. Over the years, there were suspects, strange witness accounts, theories about a mysterious stranger, and one name that became particularly notorious: Hans Assmann. Then, more than forty years after the murders, the investigation took an unexpected turn. Nils Gustafsson—the surviving victim—was arrested and accused of killing the others. The case eventually went to trial in 2005. He was acquitted. But the questions surrounding Lake Bodom never really disappeared. In this episode of Murder Most Brewed, we’re going back to that summer night in 1960, following the investigation, the theories, the trial, and the evidence that still leaves this case without a definitive answer. Four went camping. Three never came home. And more than six decades later, Lake Bodom is still keeping its secrets. ☕️ Grab your coffee and open the file.

    Case File #001: The Green River Killer Part Four: The Ghost Finally Speaks

    The file is finally coming to a close. For decades, the Green River investigation stretched across Washington State, leaving behind unanswered questions, grieving families, and evidence that would eventually help investigators uncover the truth. In the final chapter of Case File #001, we look beyond the arrest and into what came after—the investigation that continued even after Gary Ridgway was in custody, the information that helped investigators locate additional victims, the plea agreement that forever changed the course of the case, and the lasting impact this investigation left behind. But this final chapter isn’t really about an ending. It’s about what remains. The victims. The families. The investigators who spent years searching. And the evidence that waited long enough for science to catch up. In this episode: ☕ The aftermath of Ridgway’s arrest📁 His cooperation with investigators🔎 The search for additional victims and evidence⚖️ The plea agreement and the difficult questions surrounding it🌲 The lasting impact of the Green River investigation🕯️ Remembering the people behind the case file This is the final chapter of Case File #001, but the stories don’t end here.

    Case File #001: The Green River Killer Part 2: Hunting a Ghost

    For years, investigators searched for a killer they could not identify. They had victims. They had crime scenes. They had countless questions. But they didn’t have a name they could prove. In Part Two of Murder Most Brewed’s Case File #001: The Green River Killer, we continue the investigation into one of the most complex serial murder cases in American history. As detectives worked to connect the growing number of cases, they faced an impossible challenge: finding someone who appeared ordinary, someone who blended into everyday life, and someone who left behind few answers. This episode explores: ☕ The massive effort to identify the person responsible☕ The creation and challenges of the Green River investigation☕ The overwhelming number of leads detectives had to follow☕ The early moments when Gary Ridgway came onto investigators’ radar☕ Why suspicion alone wasn’t enough—and why evidence would ultimately be the key For nearly two decades, investigators hunted a ghost. But the evidence was waiting. And eventually, science would give that evidence a voice. Case File #001 continues in Part Three: The Ghost Leaves a Trace. The women connected to this case were more than a headline or a statistic. They were daughters, sisters, friends, and loved ones. Their stories deserve to be remembered with dignity and compassion. ☕ Follow Murder Most Brewed for more Case Files, investigative storytelling, and stories that look beyond the headlines. 📁 The file may be closed… but the story is never forgotten.
