| Murder At Speckled Hill: 1. A Dying Declaration | 20240921 | 20240926 (RU) | April 1881. The west of Ireland is steeped in poverty and caught in the middle of a Land War. Local herds, father and son John and Martin Lydon, are dragged from their beds in Letterfrack, Co Galway, beaten and shot. John dies immediately, but Martin survives long enough to identify one of his assailants, Patrick Walsh, later convicted and hanged. But is all as it seems? At a time when all of Ireland is under British Rule and Westminster is keen to quash the resistance of the Land League agitators, is this a case of the hanging of an innocent man as a warning to others, or are secret societies living by their own set of rules? Secret societies. Murder. Outrage. True crime stories. Two men are pulled from their beds and shot dead in the gutter. A neighbour's arrested and charged. But he has an alibi. Doesn't he? |
| The Lady With The Ring | 20250104 | 20250109 (RU) |  European folklore is full of crossover. Stories with the same themes, heroes and villains told across the continent for centuries. Are they myth? Legends? Or do some have an aspect of historical credibility? The Lady with the Ring is one of these stories, told in Germany, Scandinavia and more, each with a slight change in detail. Each claiming to be the country of the tale's true origin. What if they're wrong? What if the real inspiration is actually from a small town called Lurgan in County Armagh more than 300 years ago? Lived once, buried twice. Who is Margery McCall? True crime stories. 1695. A woman killed by fever and buried wearing a priceless ring. Too great a temptation for graverobbers to resist. But they're in for a surprise when they unearth her coffin. |
