The World’s End

The city of Edinburgh, both above and below, is supposedly haunted by all manner of ghosts and ghouls. Though much of this remains a distant memory and fodder for ghost stories, tourists, and local schoolchildren, Edinburgh does have its very own tragedies from modern times. Even decades on, these events are still fresh in the minds of those who live there and throughout the rest of Scotland.

The Babysitter Killers

The innocent babysitter having to fend for herself and fight off or flee from a murderer in a house, either her own or the unfamiliar home of a family she works for, is a popular urban legend and the plot to many a teen slasher movie or campfire story… But sadly, as with most urban legends, it is a tale that does have some basis in reality, as we will see in the two cases covered in today’s episode. 

Content Warnings: unsolved murders, sexual assault, assaults against minors, negligent law enforcement
