19: The Plumstead Arsenic Murder - Carcinogenic Coffee and Poisoned Wallpaper

Macabre London

07/21/18 • 14 min

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.

The cult that changed it all | Heavens Gate

Macabre London

05/07/21 • 27 min

On the 27th of March 1997 a bizarre tragedy occurred. 39 bodies were found inside a San Diego mansion. All laid out the same way and all seemingly departed the world in the exact same manner.

this was no mass murder but instead a group known as Heaven's Gate who had all decided to check out early to catch a lift on a passing spaceship.

The cult which was founded in the 1970's amassed a huge amount of followers and ran for many years but when they only had a few members left, they decided that they would leave this world all together.

The Mysterious Death of God's Banker | Roberto Calvi

Macabre London

05/21/21 • 22 min

On a drizzly June morning in 1982, the silhouette of a man was seen hanging partly submerged in the river Thames from the underside of Blackfriars Bridge right in the heart of London’s busy financial district.

Initially this looked like someone had tragically decided to end their own life but on closer inspection, the body held some strange clues to its demise.

Was this man there because he’d decided to kill himself? Or had he been murdered?

Today on macabre London, we uncover the story of Roberto Calvi, God’s Banker.

The Night Aliens Invaded America | Macabre Mini Mystery

Macabre London

06/11/21 • 33 min

On the evening of the 30th of October 1938, puffs of green gas were seen erupting at regular intervals by astronomers from the planet Mars and that something was headed on its way toward earth.

The unusual activity was reported live on the radio to over a million listeners.

Once the unidentified flying object had reached our planet, it crash landed in the nowhere town of Grover's Mill New Jersey.

What was seemingly a meteorite, was inhabited and what was inside was proving to be decidedly hostile.

Radio listeners heard eerie reports from live at the scene and when the Martians started to move, using a deadly heat ray which set anything it touched aflame, the broadcast went silent.

Those hearing the broadcast fearing for their lives fled their homes, called their loved ones and police stations received droves of enquiries asking what to do.

Today we’ll be uncovering the mystery behind the hoax as we uncover the macabre mini mystery of Orson Welles' War Of The Worlds.
