Strange Stories UK, Jay Slater the first two weeks up until 2 July.

Send us a textAll Hallows Eve 2024. There is a brief examination of nine cases. These include the cases of Mr Moss and Mr Munnings and the medium Blanche Cooper. The SPR investigator Guy Lambert was involved in several of these cases all of which are sourced from the Journals and Proceedings of the Society of Psychical Research. There is also a search for buried treasure at Glastonbury Abbey.

Send us a textThis case was heard in court this month, October 2024, the media reported on the case which caused much interest, an unarmed black male being shot by an armed police officer in London. The last time such an event attracted so much attention in 2011, there was a week of rioting across the country. To avoid a repetition, the authorities decided to charge the police officer with murder trying to defuse a reaction. When the case was heard in court, the officer was found not guilty and it seemed that mass demonstrations being planned may turn into disorder. However the criminal past of Chris Kaba was then released which seemed to change many people's attitude towards the shooting.

Send us a textSea serpents part 2. This podcasts will consider some well known sea serpent sightings and globsters and also consider some creatures that may have been mistaken for sea serpents.As always this podcast is recorded in one take without editing.

Send us a textThis is the first of three podcasts on sea serpent sightings over the centuries and theories  given for these sightings from a mainly  British viewpoint. This podcast concentrates on the history of sea serpent sightings up the mid 19 century.

Send us a textA well known unsolved murder from 2004 when a 30 year old banker who worked for HBOS, Alistair Wilson was shot on the doorstep of his home on a Sunday evening. There are lots of theories but it is looking like that the case will remain unsolved.

Send us a textThis horrific and little known incident which resulted in the death of two 16 year old children who had been been to church in 1961 at Gravesend. The story is unpleasant but serves as a case history of paraphilic coercive disorder. This is told in one take without editing.I have just realised this is podcast number 200! I am posting on Facebook Strange Stories UK again. If you wish to send a message please do so through F/B. 

Send us a textBrilliant Chang, Eddie Manning, Freda Kempton and other stories. Moral Panics in the UK after WW1 made these characters well known to the British Public. These and other stories, mainly about scandal stories about London nightlife 100 years ago are told here in one take and without editing.

Send us a textThis is the second podcast setting the scene to examine crime gangs active in the UK between the two world wars.This rambling podcast is about the fear of white slavery and the first celebrity drug death in the UK.This podcast is not edited and recorded in one take with words mispronounced. 

Send us a textThis is the first of a series of podcasts regarding some incidents in the UK (London) that took place 100 years ago and caused a 'moral panic'. This first podcast tells of how drugs, (class A drugs as we understand them today) were introduced into the UK, at first accepted but then rejected after misuse. The second podcast will be about what was known as 'White Slavery' 100 years ago but as we better understand as human trafficking. Then I will broadcast some podcasts based on these podcasts and police reports of the time. Incidents that are mainly forgotten today. I will post the next pod shortly.This podcast has not been edited in anyway, and has been recorded in one take. I apologise in advance for any mispronounceations.

Send us a textI have put this short podcast together on Wednesday evening, a couple of days since an incident in Leicester Square which saw a young girl randomly stabbed. The 11 year old girl was visiting from Australia and is still in hospital. It is a bit of a rant against the state of the UK so probably best to give it a miss. It has been written and posted in the space of an afternoon so as you can imagine it is not a professionally produced podcast. I wanted to post another podcast after the one I made about the Southport stabbings which was what was known about the incident two days later; so I have attempted to do the same here. This incident will be quickly forgotton by most but it seems quite worrying to me that such an incident can happen against a tourist in Central London. To me it is a sympthon that something is wrong in the UK. The next podcast will back to what I usually post. I just felt I needed to make a comment about stabbings against young children in the summer of 2024.
