Ep. 56 – The Blackout Ripper

The story of the serial killer known as the Blackout Ripper who terrorized London during World War II

During World War II, the German Luftwaffe began a massive bombing campaign over London and the surrounding British countryside known as The Blitz. By night, London began turning off all the lights in order to make it more difficult for German bombers to locate targets. But this also allowed a brutal serial killer to begin stalking London’s streets under cover of darkness.

Ep. 40 – The Man Eaters

In 1896, the British decided to build a railroad across their colony in Africa. An Army colonel named John Henry Patterson was brought in to supervise construction of a railroad bridge across the Tsavo River. But Patterson never expected what would happen next. A pair of man-eating lions began to stalk and eat the workmen. This is the bizarre true story of The Ghost and The Darkness.
