Send us Fan Mail A 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 Fan Mail This 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...

Send us Fan Mail This 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 Fan Mail This  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...

Send us Fan Mail Two interesting cases that both went to the law courts in some ways trying to prove that ghosts exist. The first case was in Hackney, East London in 1967, the second was in Derbyshire in the 1990s.

Send us Fan Mail This 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 mur...

Send us Fan Mail This 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.

I am posting on Facebook Strange Stories UK again. If you wi...

Send us Fan Mail I 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 a...
