In 1888 London was a far different place than we see today.... it was the largest capital city in the world, but also the most deprived. Its population had swelled to around 6.9 million and Victorian London was in full swing? In the more affluent parts, it was being transformed with modern concert halls, restaurants and hotels being constructed. However, in the East End of London it was a different story.... Whitechapel, in particular, was considered one of the worst parts of London. For its 250,000 inhabitants, life was tough.. 

The area was overcrowded and littered with crime. The working, living and sanitation conditions for those who lived there were unbearable. The poverty-stricken residents lived in the dimly lit maze of roads and alleyways that were often smeared with human and animal excrement and the smell drifting through the slums was putrid. Many of the residents were foreign immigrants with little or no money who worked long hours for just a few shillings.

For the women living in these slums, many had no choice but to resort to prostitution to earn enough to eat, during this era around 1,200 prostitutes were working in Whitechapel. Most of them were alcoholics who frequented the dingy bars in the area in search of clients? 

These ladies of the night were considered the pits of society, and if they were killed in the hands of a customer it went virtually unreported. This was a side of London that others preferred to forget about. That was until until a person would become the subject of one of the most mysterious and infamous killing in British history?. Jack The Ripper.

This podcast episode focuses on the post-World War Two conflict between the USA and the Soviet Union and asks the question, what if it the Cold War between the two superpowers went horribly wrong and how would the world look if the Tsar Bomba, noted as the ?Russian Monster Bomb? was dropped on American soil and devastated the New York skyline?

This, as before, is a work of fiction with the ideas of what could have happened ? so we need a catalyst; something that changes the course of history. 

We begin the work of fiction ? that being the failed assassination attempt of John F. Kennedy, who survives the Dallas shooting but leads to a horrific end of civilisation before the end of 1967. As always, sit back, hit those lights and enjoy the episode?

Denver International Airport is located in Denver Colorado in the US, it first opened in 1995 and is the largest airport in the United States and the second largest in the world.....but even before it was built it has been surrounded in controversy and is the subject of countless conspiracy theories. Many couldn't understand why it was built in the first place as there was already a fully functioning Airport in Denver which was much better positioned to serve the city and it seemed ludicrous to build another one 25 miles away.

This was just the start of the rumours, there was also the enormous cost and size of the place, it ran $2 billion dollars over budget and was huge.. coming in at twice the size of Manhattan Airport??...Many started to question the true purpose of the Place.

So here in this episode we will be taking a look at some of the bizarre and not so bizarre conspiracies surrounding Denver airport.

This episode is the result of extensive research looking at the life and mind of Theodore Robert Bundy to try and understand what drives an outwardly normal man to commit some of the most heinous acts ever recorded on innocent young girls who had their whole lives ahead of them. Some of the names have been changed to protect those who do not wish to be associated with what Bundy did, some of the grotesque acts he performed on his victims have also been toned down?..  but the accounts are true and the events surrounding the murders are as accurate as possible?.. because ultimately there is only one person who knows what really happened and thankfully he is no longer with us.

It is one of the most famous and at the same time one of the most controversial cases in UFOlogy. Travis Walton is now a name that has become synonymous with the alien abduction phenomena thanks in no small part to the mass media attention his case received at the time. This profile was only raised further with the release of the 1993 movie ?Fire in the Sky? which chronicled the events surrounding his abduction. But for all those who believe Walton?s story, there seem to be an equal number of people who doubt his authenticity and both he and the other witnesses to the events that fateful night have come under personal attacks by those claiming they faked the whole thing as part of some money making scheme.

Walton?s story has left researchers, sceptics and law enforcement asking countless questions regarding their respective fields of interest. But the one question everyone seems to want to know the answer to is this; just where was Travis Walton between November 5th and November 10th, 1975. Was he as some have suggested, hiding out in a cabin or a tent deep in the forests of Arizona, waiting to re-emerge with tall tails of aliens? Or was he indeed carried away by some unknown force for reasons that still elude us?

In this Destination Declassified video, we are going to break down key points in the Travis Walton case. It is not our aim to prove Walton is telling the truth nor are we here to suggest he is a liar but until he or his colleagues come forward admitting it is a hoax or some previously undiscovered evidence emerges that proves he is telling the truth, we are left with deciding for ourselves what we want to believe.

So, let us now delve into the case of Travis Walton.

The names Norman Bates, Buffalo Bill and Leatherface are all heinous, psychotic characters in some of the most horrific horror movies of all time. All despicable human beings that commit monstrous acts against their fellow humans, surely these heinous characters could never exist in real life?

Well, that is where you are wrong, all of these characters and many others were inspired by the real-life serial killer Edward Theodore Gein, and although none of them is directly based on his character, they all exhibit parts of Geins nature and personality and the shocking way he committed his murders. Let?s take a step into the mind of the real American Psycho from his birth to his death to try and understand what drove a seemingly timid little local man to commit some of the most gruesome crimes ever reported?.

On April 19th, 1995, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols conspired to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.....anti-government militant Timothy McVeigh parked a truck outside the building that was packed with explosives which he detonated before fleeing the scene. 

The blast and resulting building collapse killed at least 168 people and injured 680. The explosion destroyed or damaged 324 other buildings within a 16-block radius, shattered glass in 258 nearby buildings, and destroyed or burning 86 cars, causing an estimated $652 million worth of damage. until the 2001 September 11 attacks, the Oklahoma City bombing was the worst terrorist attack ever carried out on American soil. 

Most people would be appalled at such an act, but for 18-year-old Eric Harris and 17-year-old Dylan Klebold, it was the inspiration behind the mass shootings at Columbine High School. 

And it all took place almost to the day, four years later?

Due to their glamorization in fiction, people are often unaware about the dark reality of Bonnie & Clyde. Far from being a loved up couple, they were in fact cold-blooded murderers who stopped at nothing to evade the law and pursued the finer things in life that they believed they deserved.
