The Shocking Rayleigh Bath Chair Murder: WWII’s Most Bizarre Crime Story | Macabre London Podcast

Step back into the dark streets of wartime England with Macabre London, where we uncover the chilling tale of The Rayleigh Bath Chair Murder. In 1943, a seemingly routine walk turned deadly when Archibald Brown, a 47-year-old man reliant on his bath chair, was killed by a hidden explosive device. Who would go to such lengths to murder a disabled man during one of the UK’s most turbulent times? Was it an act of revenge, desperation, or something far more sinister?

In this episode, we’ll delve into the twisted family dynamics, wartime paranoia, and shocking court revelations that made this one of the strangest crimes in British history. Perfect for fans of true crime, historical mysteries, and strange-but-true stories, this episode will have you questioning just how well you really know your history.

One was a master thief who became a folk hero; the other, a crime boss masquerading as law enforcement. Their rivalry led to betrayal, capture, and ultimately, the gallows for both. But how did these two infamous figures go from partners in crime to sworn enemies? And who really had the last laugh?

Why Was Body Snatching so Rife in London? The Business of Body Snatching | The London Burkers 34:50

When two men appeared at a hospital after dark with a bag over their shoulder, they rang the doorbell of the dissecting room and a porter answered. When the porter told them he wasn’t interested in buying a body, the men asked if they could store the corpse there overnight to lessen the chances of them being found wandering around the streets with a dead body. When the porter agreed and the men left the bag on the table and scuttled off back into the night, a foot flopped out of it. Thinking it looked very fresh but not wanting to tie himself up as he was off to the theatre, he switched the lights off and left for the night. The following day, the men would return saying they had a buyer and they would be taking the body but its next destination would be where suspicions rose and the police were called… Today on Macabre London, we uncover the mystery of the Italian Boy and the grim London Burkers. ------------------------- Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350 Be sure to check out my other podcast, Killers, Cults & Queens with Cheryl The Queen https://podfollow.com/queens --------------------------- SUPPORT ME ———————— ONE OFF DONATIONS: Paypal - paypal.me/macabrelondon KO-FI: ko-fi.com/macabrelondon PATREON: www.patreon.com/macabrelondon AMAZON WISHLIST - http://amzn.eu/dJxEf1V MERCH! - https://macabrelondon-shop.fourthwall.com PATREON - www.patreon.com/macabrelondon ——————————- Thank you to our executive producer patrons - Christina, Christophe, Heathers Leg, Lisa, M, Ravelle, Sally, Sam, Sarah, Terri, Teresa, Vee, Veronica And to all of our wonderful £5 tier patrons...

On the 8th of February 1983, police were called to a top floor flat in a suburban area of London. The man that had made the call was a plumber and the reason he’d got in contact was as he’d discovered something unusual. When residents started complaining of the drains being backed up and a strange smell emanating from the property, the plumber came to clear the suspected blockage, however what he found under the manhole cover would reveal a dark and terrifying story, one which had been kept secret for a number of years. With a disturbing secret uncovered, police raided the home and arrested the tennant on suspicion of murder, but what he would go on to reveal would haunt them revealing their own incompetencies right before their very eyes.

London has always been a progressive and forward thinking city. As any vibrant and changeable capital in the world will attest to, the city is only ever as interesting as its residents, and the different life experiences people bring to where they live, shaping and moulding the place into something great. Moving with the times, London has always been at the forefront of new trends and in 1888, one man made the residents of the city far more colourful, quite literally, by opening the first ever tattoo studio, one which would go on to attract some unlikely characters and even the occasional royal.

The Grisly Thames Torso Murders - A Killer WORSE than Jack the Ripper? Or was it him?! 37:45

If I mention murder in London during the year of 1888, one name will probably spring to mind, Jack the Ripper, but that wasn’t the only serial killer active in London at the time. A short distance away, someone was using the lifeblood of the city, the river Thames, as a place to dispose of their victims. Washing up on the shore, bodies were found along its inlets, discarded, dismembered and defiled, left to the mercy of the tidal waters in the hopes they would be washed away and forgotten. However, the river didn’t hide the secrets of this killer, it spewed forth the evidence, allowing it to float along its surface to be discovered by hapless bystanders. But who were these victims and how did they end up being mercilessly discarded into the murky depths of the Thames? With each new body that surfaced, the mystery deepened, leaving the city's residents in fear as a swathe of Londoners had not one but two unidentified murderers prowling the streets, ready to pounce at any time. Today on Macabre London, we uncover the mystery of the Thames Torso Murders. ------------------------ A big thanks to Magic Mind for their help with todays episode, You can get 20% off a one time purchase or 48% off a subscription at magicmind.com/macabrelt and use the code MACABRELT20 for your fantastic discount.

Who Was Aleister Crowley? Magician, Lover, Spy? Or a fantasist? | The Many Lives Of 35:58

In a post Victorian London, a man was immersing himself in a world that both fascinated and terrified him. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, he embarked on experiments aimed at transforming his reality into something more profound and meaningful, seeking to make his mark on the world. This quest for the otherworldly led him to travel the globe, yet he remained tethered to London, unable to resist its magnetic pull. The city's allure only deepened his love for Magick and fueled his ambition to become the most powerful magician ever. This ambition culminated in a dramatic spell-casting duel with members of the secret society, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a confrontation that nearly turned deadly and which ultimately brought about the group's downfall. The unconventional wizard fight drew police intervention and subsequent court proceedings, thrusting this dark arts practitioner into the public eye but little did everyone realise, things were about to get a hell of a lot weirder. Coupled with a penchant for narcotics, an addiction to adult activities, and the mysterious death of a follower in Italy, his life became a cauldron of controversy that ultimately shaped modern occultism as we know it. Today on Macabre London, we uncover part two of our exploration into the magical world of the self proclaimed beast 666 - Aleister Crowley. ------------------------ Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350 Macabre London is a fortnightly podcast and YouTube show that delves into London's haunted and gruesome history alongside discovering Macabre mini Mysteries from all over the world!

In a palatial South London home, a pained scream rang out into the night. As the residents of the home rushed to the aid of the man who had called out, the only thing they could do was watch whilst he writhed in pain. After the maid was sent to grab mustard and hot water to assist his gripe, it was plain to see that he’d been poisoned as his hands helplessly tried to calm his burned throat and everyone in the room knew that whatever happened next would be incredibly painful for him. After 3 agonising days, the man passed away but everyone who was in the house on the night of the poisoning was now a suspect and with the man having many an enemy, the murder case would unfold to become one of the Victorian Era’s most shocking and scandalous whodunnits.
