37: The Red Barn Murder - Bars

This week, we’re tackling the grim story of the Red Barn Murder, a tale so twisted it led to one of Britain’s first ever true crime frenzies. In the 1800s, Maria Marten was a 24-year-old single mother living in a tiny English village. When she vanished after meeting her fiancé at a local barn (...the Red™ one), her disappearance started a chain reaction of rumors, accusations, and eventually, a trial so sensational that the public needed tickets just to get inside. We’re talking fake elopments, prophetic dreams, uncanny detective work - and at the center of it all, a woman whose story refused to stay buried.Story starts at: 07:15Welcome to I Scream, You Scream, a podcast with your weekly scoop of the most chilling histories, mysteries & paranormal perplexities!
