  • Strange Stories UK: The truth about the Helen Duncan seances. Portsmouth UK.
    Apr 23 2025

    Send us a text

    The Helen Duncan seances at Portsmouth during WW2, allegedly called the spirit of a sailor who died aboard the HMS Barham which had been lost with almost 900 onboard. The spirit sailor told Duncan of the loss. It was top secret and nobody was supposed to have knowledge of it, so was this proof that spirits called at the séance were genuine?

    Well of course not, but other documentaries on the subject were coy about telling the story suggesting or hinting that it may be the case that it was a spirit. I found this ambiguity rather annoying and wanted to get to the truth of the case. So I made this podcast based on the court papers.

    Pathological jealousy, Sandbanks, Dorset murder.

    This case dates from 1972, it is an unknown case, I can find no information about it online.

    The information comes from files in the National Archives. The podcast is told in one take and there is no editing. I think there is some frog and sparrow noise in the background. I will attempt a change of subject matter for the next pod.

  • Strange Stories UK : Parricide, murder at Cannock, Staffordshire.

    I am sure nobody listening would have ever heard about this case. The actual case files will not be released until 2057, 100 years plus after the case so there is something to be kept secret.

    It is a short podcast, with a lot of padding because there is no information. Recorded in lo-fi in one take with no editing. I will post some photos on the F/B site, not however the corpses which were quite horrifying.

    Hubert Douglas, If still alive would be 87 today, he seemed brutalised by his upbringing, he must have been to commit parricide.
