Eastern State Penitentiary was once considered a pioneer in the reform system, with its use of constant segregation to allow prisoners to reflect on their actions. Now it sits in ruins and is touted as one of America's most haunted locations.
So how exactly did it go from revolutionary to rundown, and what was Al Capone screaming at in the dead of night?

A day late but not a dollar short. Apologies for my tardiness, I've been a bit poorly sick, but here we are! The second and final part of the Fred and Rose West story.
This episode comes with a massive trigger warning. With abuse, debauchery, rape, assault, murder and dismemberment, there wasn't much the despicable pair didn't do. But, it would all unravel and as is often the case, there is no honour among thieves...or murderers!

This week is the first part of Seriously Now's first ever two-parter!
Fred and Rose West are two names infamous in the true crime world, at least in the U.K. anyway.
The tales of their debauchery, incest, abuse of all kinds and numerous murders, means this week (and next) comes with a heavy trigger warning!
If you can think it, this case more than likely has it.
So, if you're just hearing the tale for the first time, or you're looking for a deeper dive, then Seriously Now has you covered.

Dennis Nilsen was dubbed the 'kindly killer,' but could there ever be such a thing? It would seem not, given this case is full of strangulation, dismemberment and some very gruesome stored items.
But how or why did Nilsen venture down this murderous path? And why was his dog called Bleep?
Tune in to find out!

Apologies for the late upload - sickness in the house and then some technical difficulties hindered things. I'm not using the normal software, so if things sound a little different I apologise. Hopefully back to normal next week.
Lucy Letby is the 4th woman in the UK to receive a whole life tariff. She was accused of murdering or attempting to murder 17 babies - making her the most prolific child killer in UK history. This week does come with a trigger warning as I do go in to some detail about the offences.
