Strange Stories UK

Send us a textPathological jealousy, Sandbanks, Dorset murder.This case dates from 1972, it is an unknown case, I can find no information about it online. The information comes from files in the National Archives. The podcast is told in one take and there is no editing. I think there is some frog and sparrow noise in the background. I will attempt a change of subject matter for the next pod.

Send us a textI am sure nobody listening would have ever heard about this case. The actual case files will not be released until 2057, 100 years plus after the case so there is something to be kept secret. It is a short podcast, with a lot of padding because there is no information. Recorded in lo-fi in one take with no editing. I will post some photos on the F/B site, not however the corpses which were quite horrifying. Hubert Douglas, If still alive would be 87 today, he seemed brutalised by his upbringing, he must have been to commit parricide.

Send us a textAn unpleasnt story, the court case said a sordid murder, so maybe not for all. Ilchester, Somerset 1972. I will post some photographs on the F/B site.  

Send us a textA dreadful story about how three young men in their 20s, fashionable Mods found themselves crossing a line and ruining their lives,  killing others with a series of bad decisions in the Swinging London of 1968. 

Send us a textThis is a disjointed ramble about some stories from the Isle of Wight, mainly from the 1960s. A murder at the Blacksmith's Arms, A murder at Carisbrooke, some possible paranormal stories, some local history and some aircraft crashes on the chalk Downs.I usually read up on the stories making a few notes beforehand and then write them and post them in a day so I am afraid they are not that well produced or professional. This is a one person attempt to create a podcast and I do not have time to edit or record more than one take.

Send us a textThis is a current case after the bodies of Andrew and Dawn Searle were found in their home in Southern France on Thursday 6 February 2025. This is what is known after six days of investigation. I discuss the possible theories that have been reported in the media.

Send us a textA story based during World War 2, a double murder committed by a younger male who did nothing to help the war effort who seemed totally selfish and was a danger to women. I can only find one other podcast that has covered this podcast, which was Murder Mile, which is a recommended listen. This podcast was recorded in one take and has not been edited, I hesitate and mispronounce as usual. On listening to playback, there is a pug dog snoring in the background, so sorry about that. I would spend more time on the podcasts but there are so many stories and so little time. I record these podcasts instead of watching a screen. There is so much good stuff to watch and listen to, I am amazed that anyone listens to this pod. I will continue to post even if no one listens. This is part of the reason that I do not bother to edit. I could produce a well produced and edited podcast, or post two podcasts, telling two stories. I also prefer live broadcasts when things can go wrong. The most surprising thing to happen during my recording a podcast was an owl flying through an open window and freaking out a cat that was sitting in a chair, all of which was kept in the pod.I did have a website but when I had to renew the name, they quoted a price which was ridiculous, a hundred times more than the introductory price. So the name Strange Stories UK is available.I will eventually post on YouTube to see how that turns out. I will post some photographs of the house and where the body was found on the Strange Stories UK Facebook site and the Instagram site. 

Send us a textA rather strange case, a double murder that shocked the UK in 1949 but is almost forgotten about today. 75 years on, we do not know  the motive. Told in one take without editing.

Send us a textThis is the third and final podcast on the Southport Stabbings from 29 July last year. The most shocking crime committed in the UK that I can ever recall. This is a consideration of unanswered questions and failures of the Authorities in this matter.   

Send us a textThis  short podcast is part one, about the cover up by the authorities over the Southport Stabbings and murders. I like many others feel upset and let down by the authorities about the atrocities they in part allowed to happen in Southport last year. These authorities are all trying hard to deflect and cover up.In this podcast I give a brief overview of events in Rwanda over the past 30 years and looking into why alleged war criminals were allowed to settle in the UK and how these may have led to the Southport murders.
