Murder is a ghastly matter. At the hands of a loved one, it truly becomes heinous. Most murder victims are murdered by someone they know and a high percentage are killed by either a lover or spouse. This is not a new statistic. History proves that to be a fact. Polstead, Suffolk, England was not a place where one would expect a murder to occur, particularly in 1827. But a crime of passion did take place here and a young woman was left dead. The horrifying murder was nicknamed the "Red Barn Murder" because of the location of the murder. The paranormal takes center stage in the solving of this case as the victim's stepmother was visited by her spirit at night, three times. And then there is the cursed skull of the murderer and his spirit.

Listen in as Sean dives into the heartbreaking case of Grace Millane, a 21-year-old British traveller who set off on a dream gap year after finishing university. Grace's adventure turned into a nightmare when she arrived in Auckland in 2018 and went on a Tinder date with Jesse Kempson. What started as a night of bar hopping ended in tragedy when Grace was never seen alive again. Despite Jesse's denial of any involvement, CCTV footage tells a very different story. So, what really happened that night?Meanwhile, Skye takes us back to the 1800s with the Red Barn Murder, one of the most infamous cases in England's history. In 1827, Maria Marten was allegedly shot by her lover, William Corder, after the two met at the Red Barn to elope. For a year, Corder sent letters to her family, pretending she was alive, until Maria's stepmother had a vivid dream revealing her daughter's death. After Maria's body was discovered in the barn, the question remains—did William Corder really do it? And if he did, was justice truly served? Oh, and Skye has one more pressing question—how long does it actually take to boil an egg?Like, share, and subscribe—because you don't want to miss a single sip!

The twist is that her mother dreamed of Maria's ghost pointing the way to her dead body, which was discovered in the local landmark: The Red Barn.

Having all the elements of a story written as a gothic thriller, theso-named Red Barn murder sparked a year-long mystery, culminating in a revelation that exposed a history of darkness, hidden beneath a façade of respectability that shocked the nation to its core.

From 1803 to 1808, Madame Tussaud toured Scotland and Ireland, exhibiting her handiwork in major cities. During this time, she took drastic measures to win her freedom from her exploitative business partner, Paul Philipstahl. Tussaud went years without creating new figures related to crime, but in 1828 she introduced a likeness of William Corder, perpetrator of the infamous Red Barn Murder. This brutal homicide sparked a cultural phenomenon that lasted for the rest of the nineteenth century and beyond, inspiring books, broadsides, murder ballads, peepshows, plays, and even movies.Show notes and full transcripts available at www.artofcrimepodcast.com.If you'd like to support the show, please consider becoming a patron at www.patreon.com/artofcrimepodcast.

This week i'm joined by Stewart Evans, a former Suffolk police officer, and leading crime historian and John West, to discuss the infamous Red Barn Murder. ---- https://www.robertsmithliteraryagency.com/category/authors/stewart-p-evans/ http://www.johnwestmedia.com/about-john-west---producer-writer-actor-and-broadcaster.html --- Suffen About Suffolk is a podcast, deep diving into the county of Suffolk Facebook ➭ https://www.facebook.com/SuffenAboutSuffolk YouTube ➭ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCebRr_WsVeYszOH_OzeuHZg ---
“Come all you Thoughtless Young men, a Warning Take by Me, And Think on My unhappy Fate to Be Hanged on a Tree; my Name is William Corder, to You I Do declare, I Courted Maria Marten, most Beautiful and Fair. I Promised I would Marry Her upon a Certain Day, instead of That, I Was resolved to Take her Life away. I Went into her Father's House the 18th Day of May, Saying, my Dear Maria, we will Fix the Wedding Day. If You will Meet me At the Red barn, as Sure as I have Life, I Will take You to Ipswich Town, and There make You, my Wife; I Then went Home and Fetched my Gun, my Pickaxe And my Spade, I Went into the Red-barn, and There I Dug her Grave.” So began a ballad printed in a broadsheet in 1827 detailing the infamous Red Barn Murder. It's the tale of the killing Maria Marten by William Corden. And this story is a doozy! We are talking Bastard Kids, Cross Dressing, and of course; Murder! But, let's not forget the ties to Spring-heeled Jack, Mole Spuds. Public Execution, Mole Spuds again because heck yeah, AND, get this, a book bound in the skin of the executed outlining the tale of said execution. Oh, and don't forget, the ghost of the murdered solved her own case (and that part was even admitted as evidence in court).

In today's episode, we discuss a couple of obscure ghost stories that are famous in their region. The first ghost story takes place in the early 19th century at a university in Alabama known as "The Red Lady of Huntingdon College" about a ghostly apparition of a young woman clad in scarlet clothing who haunts the school grounds. The second ghost story is even more thrilling because it involves the ghost of a victim who helped solve her own murder mystery, commonly talked about in England as the "Red Barn Murder". Join us as we talk about these chilling tales in a recurring segment of ghost stories! If you enjoy what you hear today, feel free to subscribe to our future episodes.

When Maria Marten disappeared from the English village of Polstead in 1827, her lover said that they had married and were living on the Isle of Wight. But Maria's stepmother began having disturbing dreams that hinted at a much grimmer fate. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Red Barn, which transfixed Britain in the early 19th century. We'll also encounter an unfortunate copycat and puzzle over some curious births. Intro: In 1859, a penurious Henry Thoreau donated $5 to a college library.

We have two tales of murder and revenge taken from a lovely book called True Ghost Stories by Steph Young and also from Wikipedia. The links are below: - True Ghost Stories: Steph Young https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07L5PZWN9/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 Wikipedia: The Red Barn Murders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Barn_Murder
What do the Red Barn Murder, the Murders at Stanfield Hall, the Bermondsey Horror, and the Prince of Poisoners have in common? They're all immortalized in Staffordshire pottery! Because the only thing the Victorians loved more than murder was knick-knacks.

A screaming skull is a human skull which, according to legend, disturbs the house in which it's kept by screaming, speaking, or causing other disturbances. In the case of a few of these skulls, they are the focus of hauntings which stop when the skull is laid to rest – but in the majority of stories, the act of removing the skull from inside the house is what sparks off the trouble.
