The Cecil is an infamous hotel located in downtown Los Angeles with a very chequered history.

It has housed two serial killers, with one other carrying out his grisly work outside its walls; it has been the location of multiple suicides, accidents and murders; the Black Dahlia reportedly spent an evening in the hotel bar and it has also been at the centre of the disappearance of young Canadian student, Elisa Lam, triggering Internet armchair detectives to propose many different theories as to the cause of her disappearance, and it even inspired a Netflix limited series.

This episode covers the supernatural events that occurred between 1977 and 1979 in a house in the suburbs of London, England.

The Enfield Poltergeist is one of the most well-known cases of a haunting and is also said to be one of the most witnessed, but at the same time is also believed to be one of the biggest hoaxes.

It centres around two sisters Janet and Margaret Hodgson, and activity of a supernatural nature that occurred in the family's home.

The story attracted a lot of media attention in the British press, and has since had books, documentaries and most recently a Hollywood film based on it, in the form of popular horror movie franchise The Conjuring 2.

In this, the first episode of our podcast, The Peaky Blinders were a gang of petty criminals who terrorised the city of Birmingham in the UK at the turn of the 20th century until they were eventually usurped by another gang.

We picked this for our first episode because we are from Birmingham and are fans of the BBC ‘Peaky Blinders’ show and we wanted to see how different the real criminals were to the ones portrayed in the show.

We hope you find their story as fascinating as we did.
