Once again, a big thank you to Nicola. We had a great time roaming the foreshore! Be sure to check her out here on KZfaq: www.youtube.com/@nicolawhitemudlark

Mr. Brodie, thank you. Buried my sweet Mother yesterday. Your voice & stories take my mind far away from the pain and I truly appreciate that.

I suffer from auditory overstimulation all the time, and your voice has such a calming effect on my ears when im struggling to find something to listen to

Thank you, sir! I love your videos, not only for the storyline, but you do your best to take us on scene. I live in America, am of moderate income, so I know I’ll never make it to Europe. Through your videos, I get to see parts of this world that I never will in person. I know God created a beautiful world to look at and appreciate, so I’m doing it vicariously through you. Thank you! 😍

Feel terrible for Elizabeth's mother. Imagine not seeing your daughter for awhile. Then coming forward to see whats left of her is pieces...not even whole. I couldnt imagine that image being in the poor mothers head.

Ah another truly distressing story told in such a way that my soul is still soothed by a voice I could listen to for hours.

I'd give anything for a live episode of Well, I Never - imagine a bunch of us gathered at a fireside in the winter, listening to Mr Brodie and his wonderful storytelling, maybe with some hot chocolate or a hot toddy to drink 🤩

I am so glad you had Nicola on your channel! Several years ago, I bought a pair of earrings, here in the US, made from pipe stems that had been mudlarked. It caught my imagination and I have studied the ins and outs of mudlarking. I have followed Nicola for a while and she is wonderful. She gets so excited about her finds and does research on each little thing. It puts everything into context and she brings her audience into her passion. Thanks for such a stellar channel. It’s one of my favorites and I always look forward to new episodes.

Thank you for featuring Nicola White today. I have seen her videos and find it fascinating how much she has been able to learn about the background of her finds.

That was such a good comeback about the Mississippi River. We sure asked for it. People, not getting their name back, they are not reported missing, no one notices, the cops don’t take the disappearance seriously, whatever the reason, it makes me very sad. I think being given their name back takes them from being curiosities and weaves them back into the the tapestry, it makes them fully part of us again.

Much appreciation to Nicola for the history lesson within your storytelling. Thanks for great views and location maps. Cheers from the Midwest USA

What a treat. Two of my favorite KZfaq posters together in an episode. Nicola is my Sunday afternoon addiction with her mudlarking show.

What I found especially interesting is that this is not the only series of torso murders. On the other side of the pond, there was a series of cases collectively referred to as the Cleveland Torso Murders. They took place in Cleveland, Ohio. The killer was referred to as the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run. As in the Thames cases, the killer has never been identified.

Thank you for another fascinating story, brilliantly told. It was a special delight to see two of my favourite KZfaq talents, combine their efforts. Yourself concisely, comprehensively and elegantly resurrecting some long past, grim true tales: Nicola bringing life and social storytelling, to dormant mysteries, concealed beneath the Thames silt, muck and wash. A superb match.

Over a century ago and I still feel sad about the pregnant mother especially. Your voice just drags me into the story.

It's always a good day when I wake up before the children get some coffee start to put my face on in the mirror and get to listen to dismembered women's body part stories. I make weird choices

To be fair, both the Thames and the Mississippi are silty, but the Thames has much more history attached to it. Thank you Paul for letting us mudlark with you and Nicola. The fact she could track the luggage tag to a person was impressive 👏

Mudlarking would be fascinating! I'd absolutely love it!

I only found this channel accidentally 2 days ago, but I am completely addicted now!!! I love everything about these deliciously gruesome true life stories, especially the British ones, narrated in your beautifully quiet, measured Scottish voice!!! As a retired Social History teacher who used to spend countless hours happily doing deep dives into various topics like yours, I just wanted to say a huge thank you, Mr Brodie, for all the hours of research you must do for each of these videos, and I look forward to spending many, many more spine-tingling hours with you!!!! SUBSCRIBED with great pleasure!!! P.S. I also just subscribed to Nicola's mudlarking channel... fascinating!)🤩

Mr. Brodie, I had a stressful day today, the sound of your voice was very calming and I am very grateful for that. You sir are a master storyteller. This was an excellent video. Thank you.

Great job!! Thank you. Fascinating. The crockery from the workhouse is truly a find. I thought of JTR immediately.

Very well done as always, Thanks for this. Bringing Nicola into the issue was a great idea, she is such a dedicated lady to her passion of history.

I very much enjoyed the interview with Nicola!

I started a loaf of bread as I began listening to this story. I became so engrossed I accidentally added too much milk! 😊 Cheers from Kansas U.S.A.

Unfortunately I remember the case of a young boys torso being found in the Thames much more recently. I remember being horrified that people weren’t immediately saying “Well this missing child is that age, it must be them” and realised how easy it can be for people to get away with such things because no one even knows they are meant to be looking.

Your content is always very interesting and very well produced. You're a true gentleman both in manner and countenance. Thank you for sharing your great work... cheers!

New to your channel. Love your story telling. I listen when on night duty. Am a nurse from Capetown south africa

Loved seeing Nicola, I watch her videos every week, she's so good at bringing history to life, and you too, are such a good storyteller, telling us these awful stories, in such a soothing way, thank you.

1:43 I just couldn't stand it, I had to join, you seriously make my day, everytime you post ❤❤ Thank you so much 💓💖

Thank you!! Absolutely love listening to your stories!! Best of luck and wishes from Missouri USA

The collab I didn’t know I needed! @tidelineart and @wellinever

EXCELLENT If NOT OUTSTANDING!! THANK YOU . SUPER GREAT STORY TELLER !! PAUL BRODIE. FROM, U.K. (2023).

> Nothing too old, just George VI. Honey (respectfully), as a US American, we are lucky to keep history that's 25-50 years old. We're more of a "demolish the past to make room for industrial progress" kind of country. Any connection to the past and your roots is valuable. Because often those connections are lost or intentionally destroyed.

Aloha from Hawaii,Paul-ex-pat Yorkshire person.Great idea to have a guest.

Thank you for another captivating tale.

❤ Nicola White, i watch her videos almost every week since 2020.

Watching from London, thank you for the wonderful content.

Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it. Great to see Nicola in the vlog. Have followed her for years. Thanks again, cheers, John.

Always happy to see crossovers of what I thought were my own weird niche viewing habits. Nicola's channel is so relaxing and interesting. She is my fave of the mudlarkers on youtube. Good video, as always.

Another great video Mr. Brodie! Your videos are always super informative and very well received by all. Keep up the stellar work!

Its sad to think nothings changed much. You tell a wonderful tale, very captivating, gruesome but captivating just the same sir.

Discovered you last night having insomnia. You are amazing. Thanks for sharing these cases in a respectful way.

Thanks for the upload, Paul. I look forward to hearing this video.

saw Nicola, hit like 🤓! Her channel has been a constant companion for years, great video 😄

So interesting (!!!) with the "mudlarking" hobby, cause this is a very old "occupation" indeed. I know from I think it was either in the "Worst jobs in History", from the Victorian era, or about the building of the sewers in London that eradicated the Typhoid fever from wells with polluted groundwaters from cesspits and such, after The Great Stink parliment. Where the tunnels from the sewers exited downstream past the city, various people had something like a day-job from finding coins and such between the brick-stones far down said tunnels. But it was criminalized at some point.

it's a wonder the history channel hasn't picked you up, fantastic work that you do

A very strong circumstantial case has been put forth that the Thames Torso Murderer and Jack the Ripper were one in the same person, Charles Lechmere.

Thank you very much Mr Brodie! Such a tragic situation with some many murders & not many clues. I’m positive that on Judgment day, God will take care of his punishment. Thanks for sharing! Blessings always! ❤️✝️

what a fascinating story, thank you so much. a lot has been written about Jack the Ripper, but this is the first time ive heard of the torso murders

I just get happy every time I see that you have put a new video out!😊

I have never heard of this and the best reason is the Ripper gets his due and took over the media. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Very good.

Imagine if Jack actually killed the torso murderer.

Nicola was one of the first channels I followed! So chuffed to see two of my favorites together! ❤

If this sort of conciseness, rhythm, and articulateness is typical of Scotland, I should go immediately. Which bus will get me there? I'm a new subscriber and must say how grateful I am for the skilled language, fact-finding, and natural gravitas-- rather than the too-usual childish hype I encounter so often in the U.S.-- that are reliably here in each fascinating story. Thanks, Mr. Brodie.

I’ve been watching your videos since you started. I remember when you had less than 10k subs. I’m so proud of all your work and how far you’ve come in this time. You’re such an excellent storyteller and I’m always amazed that this is free on KZfaq. Why would I watch Netflix when this exists? Much love from The Bay Area California.

Great video 👍 I follow Nicola on KZfaq! It's fascinating to watch what she discovers ❤️

Love your videos. Thanks for all the research you’ve done

I learned something new today, which is always welcome. And such a delight to see Nicola White on your channel!

Great video! I love Nicolas channel too, she's awesome! 😀 x

I watch Nicola’s channel, too! How exciting that you’re both cooperating on a story!

I'm not trying to diminish the Thames importance in history, but our own Mississippi is gaining some liquid history of her own. Lewis and Clark. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The last resting place of desparate slaves. New Orleans and jazz. The Musical Showboat and Paul Robeson's rendition of "Old Man River". Neither river's story has yet come to an end.

Thanks! Wonderful job!

Love this channel! Love it even more when you have guest experts on the show…. I haven’t been a subscriber long and I’m still playing catch-up with all of your videos. I hope you have more with interesting guests like this. Thank you!

Oh, what I wouldn’t give to go mudlarking. What an interesting way to spend a day!

Wow, I'd heard of the final victim, in the context of her being a suspected victim of the Ripper, but never realized there were other victims.

Thank you for taking us back in time...the way you wander through the story is wonderful..you mevellous at story telling and I look forward to your next one..fantastic thank you.

It's rather have a river full of mud rather than body parts! 😮😅 Great video. Thank you!

The Mississippi is also liquid history.

As always, spellbinding. Such perfection!

Best storyteller on YT.

Great but gruesome account. As always, well done! I get a kick of Paul's bloopers, haaa! For anyone who hasn't watched Nicola White's mudlarking adventures, it really is a treat! As with Si Finds, Old Father Thames, and the Mudpies, as well! For a wondrous journey through time, be sure to watch the travels and discoveries of Tom Burleigh too! 💖 I love watching the old history discovered in England and the countryside! Love from America!

Thanks for a very nice new story loved too watch it.

Thank you for Nicola as a guest. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello Paul.... I so enjoy your stories!!!!

0:30 omg that may be my favorite quote of all time now, definitely one for the books!

Somehow the you narrate these gruesome stories make it all make sense and engendered sympathy for both victim and perpetrater. Thank you so much for all the work you do🙏

I love when you get to go out on location. Brilliant as always!

I recently read a book inspired by mud larking and late 18th century London called The Lost Apothecary. What I wouldn't give to go searching for treasures in the Thames!

Great video as always. One thing though, that is not a photo of Mary 'Polly' Nichols. Well, it's almost certainly not at least. The only canonical ripper victim with a known photograph taken in life was Annie Chapman. I think someone found that image one day, decided it looked a bit like the mortuary photo of Polly, and its taken on a life of its own ever since.

Once again a great documentary. Entertaining and educational. Thank you Paul 🙏

What a treat! I follow both your channel and Nicola.

Your voice is very calming and stories well told.

Always fascinating, never anything less than first class content Many thanks 🙏🇬🇧

Great to see Nicola, I always look forward to her videos on a Sunday.

"We don't know how she died" The missing head and limbs might have had something to do with it. Just a thought.

Fifty or so years later, in Cleveland, Ohio----

New sub from Toronto Ontario Canada, my father was from Berwick Upon Tweed so I have always been fascinated by the history.

It's interesting how the ripper crimes are infamous and these crimes, arguably worse, are barely known.

Thank you Mr Brodie and team for the hard work on these videos ❤❤❤ always enjoy them

Another brilliant upload! Also love the little collab with Nicola!

I love your storytelling and Nicola was so interesting too! Well,.I never! Much love. A.

How cool two of my fave YTers connect! Both Paul & Nicola have splendidly entertaining & instructive channels - yay.

just recently found your channel and i'm so glad, because i love it!

Found your channel a few weeks ago...I look forward to more stories in the future...greetings from NW Michigan

This was such an interesting story, which was new to me. Unlike Jack the Ripper, I never heard of the Thames Torso Murders before.

I totally love your content ! Thank you so much ❤

Thank you both!

a great episode

Oooh, two of my favourite KZfaqrs in the same video!

So nice to see Nicola on the foreshore explaining her favorite finds. Thank you for another interesting video
