The Stratton Brothers
To continue with the theme of Victorian true crime firsts in celebration of the new year, tonight’s story covers something that nowadays we just consider to be fact. But in the Victorian era, it was all brand new. And that something is fingerprinting. Tonight’s story is the first murder case solved by the use of fingerprint evidence. This is the story of the Stratton Brothers.
Dr. Crippen
Seeing as it’s the first month of 2023, in this month’s episodes I’m covering two Victorian true crime firsts. Tonight’s episode is about the first murderer who was arrested with the aid of wireless telegraphy. This is the story of Dr. Crippen.
Mary Rogers
Did you know that the first detective mystery story was actually written by Edgar Allan Poe, and that it was inspired by true events? In 1841 there was a murder in New York City that captured the fascination of the public and Poe alike. This is the story of Mary Rogers.
BONUS: The Legend of Mistletoe Bough
Victorian’s loved telling ghost stories at Christmas and I’m here to tell you one of their favorite tales. This is a story that was set in the 17th century and was passed along verbally, but really gained popularity in the 1830s when a song was written about the tale. You may have heard this tale told a little differently but I’m going to relay it to you as I first heard it, in honor of upholding the tradition of storytelling. This is the legend of Mistletoe Bough.
Swift Runner
Telling scary stories is a Victorian Christmas tradition. And tonight I have what I’d consider more of a Victorian horror story for you. It comes to us from the cold, snowy forests of North America. This is the story of Swift Runner and the wendigo.
Harriet Buswell
Seeing as December is just around the corner, I am here to present to you tonight, a Christmas Eve murder. This is the story of Harriet Buswell.
George C. Parker
ave you ever heard someone say: if you believe that, I have a bridge in brooklyn to sell you? It’s an expression used to imply someone is very gullible and easy to trick. Because we all know you can’t, in fact, buy the Brooklyn Bridge, right? …Right…? Well, tonight’s story is about the man who “sold” the Brooklyn Bridge over and over for years. True story. This is the story of George C. Parker.
Lydia Sherman
She was a black widow. And, she was an angel of death. But why? Did she think she was showing mercy to her victims? Was she herself a victim of society’s failures and the lack of support? Or was she just a cold and callous murderer? This is the story of the Derby Poisoner, Lydia Sherman.
BONUS: The Lost Children of the Alleghenies
We are traveling north along the Appalachian mountain range to the Allegheny mountains in Pennsylvania where another supernatural incident played a part in solving a missing person case. This is the story of the Lost Children of the Alleghenies.
Hammersmith Ghost
It’s another case where ghosts and murder collide. This is the case of the Hammersmith ghost.
Greenbrier Ghost
Whether or not you believe in ghosts, let me tell you… the Victorians sure did. Tonight’s story is famously known as the only case in which testimony from a ghost helped convict a murderer. This is the story of the Greenbrier ghost.
H. H. Holmes
As is often the case with true crime, the facts of a case can turn out stranger than fiction. But in tonight’s story, much of what came to be accepted as fact, did wind up to actually be fiction. Luckily, I am here for you, to separate the fact from the fiction of a very notorious case. This is the true story of HH Holmes.
Mary Pearcey
Tonight’s story is a love triangle that ends in murder! This is the story of Mary Pearcey.
Jack the Ripper
Jack the Ripper is arguably the most notorious serial killer of all time, but for as famous as this case is, there are still a few things that surprised me about it. So we’re going to get right to it, this is the story of Jack the Ripper.
