| 6/25/26 | ![]() How One Man Sentenced Hundreds of Women To Death - Matthew Hopkins: The Witchfinder General | When Christianity arrived for the general masses in the late 1500's and Early 1600's, the puritan purge made life hell for a lot of people.As the civil war raged on, people took advantage and one of those people was Matthew Hopkins. He setn hundreds of people, mainly women to their deaths but before him, how did witchcraft become such a hotbed of political tension and how did religion stick it's beak into the ways people had been living for years but now paired it with the devil - a christian invention...In this episode of Macabre London, we uncover the roots of witchcraft accusations in England — from folk magic and protective charms to demonisation, law, religion, and the rise of the “witch” as a feared figure in the public imagination. We look at the key players who helped shape witch panic, including Henry VIII, James VI and I, Malleus Maleficarum, and Matthew Hopkins, and trace how fear turned into prosecution. If you’re into witches, medieval history, the early modern period, dark history, history documentaries, religion and belief, folklore, esotericism, and all things eerie and uncanny, this episode is for you.So if you're interested in magick, the occult, historical beliefs, witchcraft and just how the religion we know today was developed and forged in the old fires, with the occasional human sacrifice thrown in, then make sure you join me, this is just the beginning!This series is sponsored by Snag - Clothing for Every Body!

| 12/2/25 | ![]() The Murders That Forced Forensics to Evolve: Inside London’s Darkest Cases | Forensic science is now one of the most powerful tools in crime investigation — but its journey began in the shadows of London’s darkest cases. In this episode of Macabre London, we trace the evolution of forensics through the crimes that pushed science to its limits.We begin with the first-ever conviction using a fingerprint, a moment that changed policing forever. From there, we step into the disturbing case of Patrick Mahon, whose brutality forced investigators to invent new forensic techniques simply to piece his crime together.We move forward into the mid-20th century to examine how the chilling actions of serial killers Reg Christie and Dennis Nilsen broadened the scope of forensic investigation — from body recovery to behavioural patterns and beyond.Then, we look at how modern forensic advancements reopened previously unsolved cases, most notably the landmark case of Stephen Lawrence, where new technology finally gave investigators the tools needed to secure long-awaited justice.Finally, we explore how forensics operates when the crime scene spans an entire city — through the extraordinary investigative efforts following the 7/7 London bombings, where thousands of pieces of evidence had to be located, logged, analysed, and understood.If you love dark history, true crime, and the hidden mechanics of how cases are solved, this episode uncovers the science, the stories, and the London crimes that changed everything.Todays episode is sponsored by Wolf Escape Games - www.wolfescapegames.com - to get your special discount code of 30% off any game or bundle.

| 11/18/25 | ![]() Women of the Watch: How London’s First Female Police Officers Fought Their Way Into the Force | In this next chapter of our Crime & Punishment in the Capital City series, we explore a story often overlooked in the darker corners of London’s past: the long and brutal fight for women to earn their place in the Metropolitan Police.From early moral guardians to undercover operatives, and eventually, fully empowered officers, the women who patrolled London’s streets faced resistance at every turn. Their uniforms were criticised, their authority questioned, and more than once their very existence within the force was nearly erased. But they fought back—quietly, strategically, and with unwavering resolve.In this episode, we uncover the scandals, political battles, and public panics that shaped the rise of female policing up to the present day. We’ll meet the pioneers who walked these fog-shrouded streets long before society believed they should, and discover how their work changed crime-fighting in the capital forever.Perfect for fans of dark history, untold stories, social history, women’s rights history, London lore, and true crime documentaries.Please check out our sponsor - London Nootropics at www.londonnootropics.com and use the discount code MACABRE at checkout to receive 20% off any order.Todays episode is sponsored by Jeff Wayne's The War Of The Worlds The Immersive Experience - www.waroftheworldsimmersive.com - to get your special discount code of £10 off any two or more tickets purchased.
