    In the early hours of Christmas morning, a working man is discovered dead in his lodgings, the same man who had been celebrating the festive season with his friends only hours before. The man has been fatally struck on the skull. But could this really be the work of a cold-blooded yuletide murderer?

  • 08. The Warminster Thing
    Dec 16 2024

    In the early hours of Christmas morning, the residents of a small town in south west England are awoken by a series of inexplicable sounds emanating from the roofs of their houses. Bizarre scrapings and thuddings are coming from the tiles above them, with some people even reporting extraordinary cacophonies, as though their chimneys are being smashed apart with huge and other-worldy force. But just what was going on? Was this a particularly violent visitation from Mr Claus, that most famous Christmas caller of them all? Or could there have been a more logical explanation for these peculiar festive happenings? Join us in this special festive episode as we delve into the case of the Warminster Thing, with added magical sound effects that might not be everything they seem!

  • 07. How to Teleport a Diamond
    Dec 2 2024

    A young boy unearths a beautiful diamond. But, less than an hour later, the diamond has completely, suddenly and, quite inexplicably, vanished. The boy has no idea whether he will ever see it again. And yet, when he returns home that evening, a diamond is awaiting him. The exact same diamond, in fact, that he discovered hours earlier, the exact same diamond that had vanished. This diamond has reappeared, at the very place at which the boy lives, as though it had mysteriously teleported itself there. But surely such a thing couldn’t be possible… could it? In this episode of The Magician’s Wife, Barry and Lora discuss the story of the diamond disappearances on South Africa’s ‘Diamond Coast’.

  • 04. Spring-Heeled Jack
    Oct 21 2024

    In the gas-lit, smog-choked streets of nineteenth-century London, reports start to circulate of a tall figure attacking women, swathed in black, claws glinting from every finger, fleeing the scenes of his crimes by clearing walls in a single leap, and emitting a blood-chilling cackle as he makes his escape. But is he supernatural, demonic, an urban legend? Or might there be a more earthly explanation for this classic Victorian terror? Join Barry and Lora as they explore the incredible story of Spring-Heeled Jack.
