The Halifax Slasher - (or) should we be concerned about Yorkshire?

This week we are heading back to 1938 to talk about a very odd crimewave that plagued the people of Halifax during the cold, dark days of November. When Mary Sutcliffe reported being attacked by a man wielding a blade, it was assumed that it was an isolated incident, however as the attacks rapidly began to pile up a sense of panic seemed to engulf the people of Halifax. Was it a maniac? Was it more than one person? Were copycat attacks now outnumbering the genuine ones? And why had almost this exact thing happened two previous times in living memory? We will attempt to answer all these questions and more! Guest Host: Oliver Green With a special appearance from Tod Shaker! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
