Moors murders

... was, and again, at Newsham, it was, they said that at some point, I don't know if you're aware of Ian Brady.

He was one of the Moors murderers.

Okay.

Very, very big, um, case, infamous case in the UK.

There's a couple, you know, things like Suffer Little Children, which is just devastating.

It's about the Moors murderers.

The Moors murderers, sorry.

And, you know, Manchester, so much to answer for.

All that sort of stuff.

And I think once we sat down to do it, we both realised that we knew nothing about actual crime because we were probably about 19 or 20.

And so I bought a book called Inside the Mind of a Murderess about Myra Hindley, of course, the Moore murders.

and so i bought that and then the minute that you read true crime it is so powerful because at the end of every i mean fiction has horror stories but when they're true you're like these are real people this has happened to real people and so the power is just amplified and and i think i just went i've got to write this stuff that's what i have to write

Wow.

When he speaks on these subjects, he does so with the enthusiasm and air of a person recounting an enjoyable sexual experience, end quote.

He started collecting serial killer books to study them and worship Jack the Ripper, the Moors murderers, the Acid Bath murderer as discussed, and of course, the Yorkshire Ripper.

But whatever his fantasies or boasts, Stephen Griffiths was released into the wild in spring of 1993.

He picked up where he left off in his studies at Bradford College and began working towards receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology.

Compulsion for we committed the perfect murder.

Ian Brady used a book called Compulsion by Meyer Levin as a perverse blueprint for the Moors Murders.

The book was written as an argument against capital punishment, but Ian Brady read it completely differently.

All he did was look at the mistakes, um, that were committed by Leopold and Loeb, the murderers, in the way they carried out, uh, the killing.

But there's no further evidence of the letter, and she said she later retrieved and destroyed it.

There's a question as to whether that letter ever existed or not.

Was it a real letter, or was it simply her trying to portray herself once again as a victim, once again as somebody who didn't really want to carry out these killings? But there's no getting away from the fact that she did carry on, she kept the relationship with Ian Brady going, and she did help carry out the Moors Murders.

The only explanation for her going through with this was that she had actually swallowed the, the whole idea of Ian's, um, aims in life, that his philosophy was okay, but also that she was completely on the side of Ian, and therefore safe from being a victim.

more efficiently.

He was, I guess, really into like Jack the Ripper, the Moors murderers, the acid bath murderer.

And one of his personal favorites was like the Yorkshire Ripper.

He really liked the Yorkshire Ripper because like he killed a lot of women.

So coming up soon, I have an investigation at a museum called the True Crime Museum, and that's in Hastings, which is on the east.

coast somewhere i'm not sure which coast it's on actually um so it's along along the uh one of the coasts in in the uk and it's a fascinating fascinating museum i've done an investigation there on three occasions already and it holds materials from um serial killers so there is something there from Lizzie Borden and there's things from like the Moors murderers and lots of different stuff in there and it all just holds energy some of it probably residual but the museum itself is in caves and they were smugglers caves and also they were the sellers to a hotel so there's like lots and lots of different energies and that that could be there so i'm really looking forward to that one and that's also a charity event as well so it's nice to to do something i love and raise a little bit of money for charity as well so

that's that's phenomenal That's amazing.

So what role do you think spirituality and religion play when you're involved in paranormal investigating? Do you think it has any effect or do you think it's important or just rubbish?
