The Suffragettes were far more deadly than you think. These courageous and brave women set about learning how to fight war like men did and then, they beat them at their own game. Often dumbed down in later years, the suffragettes militant campaign was extensive, terrifying and effective. The only thing that stopped these women from winning the vote with violent tactics was a little thing called World War One!
Today on Macabre ...
300 women were penned into parliament square and thrown to the mercy of the male crowd and given the order to "Do with them as they wished" This violent assault lasted 6 hours and unarmed women were beaten, attacked and then arrested all because they wanted their cry of "Votes For Women" to be heard! On part 3 of our Suffragette series we take a look at the bitter battle of Black Friday and the turning point in the campaign to gain...

People had had enough and it was time to make...

The myth behind the famous saying is not entirely known and today we explore just where...
Two actors met in London but both had quite different backstories. Their friendship soon turned into a bitter jealous rivalry, one which would result in murder, minutes before one of them was to take to the stage.
Today on Macabre London, we uncover the murder of William Terris at The Adelphi Theatre.
