Podcasts about scratching fanny

Was it murder? Was there a ghost? What even is incest really? All that more explored in this strange ghost story, where Casey takes us back to England, 1792, where Dick on Cock Lane got his life all stirred up by the possibility of a ghost haunting his daughter.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Twitter: @_strangeunusual Facebook: The Strange and Unusual Podcast 'Elevator' music: Darren Curtis Theme song: rap2h and Calamity Casey

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Scratching Fanny, the unfortunately named ghost of Cock Lane in Central London (also known as Frances Kent and Frances Lynes). Also unfortunately (and confusingly) named were Willy Kent, Fanny's ‘husband' and Richard ‘Dick' Parsons, Willy's pal. Willy and Fanny had a secret and Willy shared that secret with Dick which may not have been the best idea as Dick owed Willy money. All of this escalated as Fanny met an unfortunately premature passing but was that passing natural? Dick thought not and brought in a holy man to verify this. Willy was not happy, particularly as Fanny begun attending seances from beyond. Was Fanny using her knockers to communicate her untimely passing to the living, or was Dick stretching Fanny's truth? It's probably worth mentioning at this point that some of us got very confused during the recording of this episode. Apologies, folks. It all made sense in the end but we guess the moral of the story here is that you can have too much Dick and Willy. Alongside that chaotic mess, we discover that you can indeed trust a John. All that and more on this week's file.     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: butitwasaliens@gmail.com Instagram/Threads @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

It is a doozy this week folks! Liv tells the story of a young girl plagued by a spirit, who captivated Georgian England. Jess is actually cooperative, which is weird. So weird in fact, that Liv can't speak - fabulous when she's trying to tell the story. We talk about respecting all entities, the protective power of blankets, and that Jess doesn't trust Lunchables for some reason. Oh, we're also NOT comfortable using legal jargon in everyday life and I did say dojo.    Sources include: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2082797/The-Cock-Lane-ghost-How-tale-sex-death-loan-sharking-gripped-London-250-years-ago-thanks-Scratching-Fanny.html https://aplacebetweenthetrees.com/2020/05/20/the-cock-lane-ghost-ghostbusting-in-the-age-of-enlightenment/ https://www.in2013dollars.com/uk/inflation/1763?amount=588 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cock_Lane_ghost https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Dictionary_of_National_Biography,_1885-1900/Parsons,_Elizabeth_(1749-1807) All rights reserved © 2023 Ghost Stories in the Sunlight.   Please rate, review, subscribe and really enjoy life.

When William Kent got his sister in law pregnant, the last thing on his mind was his dead wife. That all changed though when strange noises were heard from the house that he lived in and accusations of murder, which came from beyond the grave, were banded about.

In 1762, an unusual scandal riveted the population of London: the case of the Cock Lane Ghost. The story had something for everyone. Forbidden love, money, death and the supernatural were all elements in the sad tale of “Scratching Fanny of Cock Lane.” After the death of Fanny Lynes from smallpox, her lover William Kent fell under public suspicion of murder after séances were held to determine who or what was behind the scratching noises coming from the home on Cock Lane. The one person that these noises seemed to be attached to was the young daughter, Elizabeth Parsons, of the landlord who owned the Cock Lane home, and it was determined from these sessions that Fanny had not died from smallpox, but rather arsenic poisoning that Kent had administered to her! After reading the accusations in the press, William Kent vowed to clear his name. He enlisted two of the physicians that had attended Fanny in her last days, as well as a reverend to help hold their own séances, but it wasn't until a maid revealed that she had seen the young daughter sneak out of the séance to get a small stick that the whole thing was exposed as a fraud. Elizabeth Parsons confessed that her father had made her make the scratching noises for him in retaliation of a loan disagreement between the two men. Join us on episode 103 to hear more about the sordid tale of Scratching Fanny of Cock Lane! ###Follow Us:https://www.paranormalpunchers.comhttps://twitter.com/ppunchershttps://instagram.com/paranormalpunchershttps://www.facebook.com/paranormalpunchersSupport the Show:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/paranormal-punchershttps://www.patreon.com/paranormalpunchers

This week, Nat & Aly have the most chaotic recording experience of their lives while telling you all the tale of Scratching Fanny, the Ghost of Cock Lane. First, they had to record in someone's living room. Then, halfway through they had to move to someone's bedroom. It is for this reason that the podcast is just short of an hour this week, but we hope you forgive us. Cock Lane.

Why do dogs get all the credit? What should you do if a badger sees its own shadow? Who's the rudest ghost of all time? Jake Yapp & Natt Tapley dind out in today's Date Fight!

William Kent was what some might have called a rather unlucky man. Twice widowed shortly after marriage to his relatively wealthy wives, his relationships had not been the fairy tales he had longed for. The 19th Century was an age where bumping off an unwanted spouse could be as easy as a trip to the local apothecary, and as such, one might have expected William to harbor fears of a few unsavoury rumours surfacing around him, however, when this inevitably did happen in the spring of 1762, his shock could certainly be forgiven when it became apparent that the accusations levelled against him were from none other than the spirit of his recently deceased second wife.   SOURCES:   Carthew, G.A.

Creepy, Occult & Spooky Series #3 of 4.  There wasn’t a soul in London, much less the neighborhood of Smithfield market, who hadn’t heard of the Cock Lane ghost. In 1762, the narrow London street was crowded with throngs of onlookers and busy-bodies who wanted to know if the rumors were true. A young girl at 20 Cock Lane , Elizabeth Parsons, was said to be possessed by a restless spirit. The Cock Lane ghost’s biggest claim to fame was its alleged knocking and scratching at all hours of the night and day. Witnesses devised a code to communicate with the ghost who claimed to have been murdered by her lover two years earlier. This had Londoners up in arms. Everyone took a side. Methodists and Anglicans viciously argued over the possibility of contact with the dead. London newspapers wrote daily updates about the séances, investigations and hearings that sought to uncover the truth behind Scratching Fanny, as the ghost was named, and her suspicious death. Londoners used the mysterious happenings at Cock Lane as a vehicle to debate religious difference, pre-marital sex, fraud, murder, and the vulnerability of some of London’s greatest minds in the face of superstition.  Find Show Notes, Affiliate Links and a Transcript here!

On January 12, 1762, William Kent exclaimed to whatever was communicating from beyond the grave in front of the room of people attending the séance, “Thou art a lying spirit, thou are not the ghost of my Fanny. She would never have said any such thing.” There was a ghost haunting a house on Cock Lane in London that was using a young girl to communicate with the living Was it the ghost of William Kent’s deceased lover, Fanny? Maybe it was the spirit of Elizabeth. Elizabeth was Fanny’s sister and married to William before Fanny had become William’s lover. And like Fanny, Elizabeth had gotten pregnant by William and had died soon after. Or maybe there was no ghost at all. Maybe it was just an act of revenge!

The Winchester Mystery House or Winchester Mansion is one of the most unique and bizarre homes ever built. The mystery part of the name refers to the interior infrastructure. It truly is a mystery why certain elements were constructed. There are stairways that lead to nowhere, doors that open to walls and windows on the interior of the house. Numerology plays a significant part in the design as well. Legends and rumors permeate the history of the home. Was the weird construction an elaborate attempt to fool spirits to keep them at bay? Many of the rumors about the house include tales of haunting activity. Tours are very popular here and listener Ronda Williams shares her experience with the Flashlight Tour in this episode. Come with us as we explore the mysteries, history and hauntings of the Winchester Mansion. The Moment in Oddity features Scratching Fanny as suggested by Bob Sherfield and This Day in History is Hattie McDaniels Oscar win.
