The Plumstead Arsenic Murder - Carcinogenic Coffee and Poisoned Wallpaper
Death was always a creeping terror in the 1800’s but even more so when people discovered they could use a basic household chemical to kill people without a trace. That was until one chemist took it upon himself to put an end to the poisonous murder craze by devising a test that would provide concrete evidence to convict those that had previously got off scott free!
This time on Macabre London, we uncover the Plumstead arsenic murder.

1 RecommendationsSpring Heeled Jack - The Victorian Slenderman
Even before the internet, people created strange unimaginable beasts and the Victorians managed to dedicate whole newspapers to the monsters supposedly living across the UK in the form of Penny Dreadful periodicals.
But what happens when one of those monsters comes to life and starts terrorising the streets of London.
This time on Macabre London, we uncover the story of Spring Heeled Jack.
Find out about the many different guises Spring Heeled Jack appeared in. How his help in distracting from a fire in the financial district may have been a clever inception by the press and whether he may still be around today. Join us to find out the story of who this person was and how they terrorised the Victorians.

London in the 1800’s was overflowing with the dead. With graveyards closing in the city and the dead not welcome anymore, two men created the largest funeral business in London and the largest cemetery in the UK, with the upside being that the majority of it wasn’t in London.
This time on Macabre London, we uncover The Necropolis Railway.
