[@raskolnikov1461]

Love how you present yourself ❤ Thank you for crime writing. You are amazing

[@joshuagibson1307]

I’m from the Sunderland and we had a ryhme about her as kids i have forgot allot of it but it’s started with” Mary Anne cotton dead and forgotten” we used to think if we sang it in the dark you would get scratches all over your body.

[@amandabuller8627]

It was bloody Mary and you say it 3 times and she is to appear in a mirror

[@truecrimecaitlyn]

Im Durham, we used to say "Mary Anne Cotton dead and forgotten lying in her coffin with her eyes wide open,"

[@MegaPokemon1997]

Mary Ann Cotton, she’s dead and she’s rotten, Lying in bed with her eyes wide open. Sing, sing, oh what should I sing? Mary Ann Cotton, she’s tied up with string. Where, where? Up in the air, Selling black puddings, a penny a pair.

[@neliradu9337]

​@amandabuller8627 no. It wasn't. OP is talking about MARY ANN COTTON. Not the same person, story or location.

[@B.Ramsey]

All British songs have an evil background, the Black Plague for example….ring around a Rosie pretty much meant u were goin to die

[@bakedslow2530]

This so sad how can anyone hurt a child honestly

[@lisbethlarsen6427]

It is sad also when adults get hurt.

ABORTION

[@lindsaywarden1746]

Brilliant series, so well presented.

[@Anu_Sol]

Tea should bring joy, not death. Mary should be ashamed.

[@connievino4226]

I hate tea but I get yeah.

[@Hollytree118]

I remember this rhyme Mary Ann Cotton, she’s dead and she’s rotten. Lying in bed with her eyes wide open. Sing, sing, oh what should I sing? Mary Ann Cotton, she’s tied up with string. Where, where? Up in the air. Selling black puddings, a penny a pair

[@pynzlyngdohnonglait6698]

My mother bought me a children's book when i was 7 y.o... And i read about mary ann cotton

[@melaniew4354]

I don't feel bad she got executed or it took her 3 minutes to die. The hours of agony she caused her victims, most of them babies, pale in comparison.

[@ronaldparker8326]

I have never heard anything more absurd than teething being mentioned in a cause of death wow

[@Nana1959.]

When the show started with you at your type writer, and you said you were a crime writer; I said "Oh this is going to be good!" I love the background you chose to speak in front of , like the walls Mary may have lived in, very good choice! I also love how you break it down into story form and not just babbling out a bunch of facts , but made it sound like more of a story about what her experiences may have been to cause her to be evil.😮

[@PaganPunk]

Martina coles books are Awesome! X

[@robertafierro5592]

I like this channel.

[@allthatfluffnstuffQLDaustralia]

These lady killer episodes are great Gday from Australia

[@Kid_Kootenay]

Best ever, Allways waiting for your nextone

[@savantianprince]

Don't take out life insurance.

[@nursedaniel72]

Did she read the tea leaves for people first ? " I can see illness coming to you ......"

[@ellenkingsley]

I wonder if George Robson knew he had a surviving half sister?

[@amyezell4950]

Greed

[@johnwilson783]

I'm from West Auckland her house is still there

[@Seawitch907]

It’s all going to be sweetness and light 😂😂😂 oh come on!

[@raskolnikov1461]

I feel for her soul when she was so hopeless, in pain, low, used, undervalued, depressed. Men are so evil to use female body for kids and then not help. Abandoned, used for cleaning, disrespected… stop living… She found the most horrible way to survive - turn into a villain 😢

[@Kingsaxxy3872]

Even if she suffered it doesn’t justify her killing people, especially damn children.

[@Seawitch907]

Do you think you could get your husband to leave you alone, so you don’t kill your self having babies ? Apparently not 👿

[@deniseshephard3347]

Anyone who murders their children shouldnt have any children and has forfeited the right for any parental responsibility people who murder any children are Monsters

[@noonespecial4171]

She was a true Scorpio

[@krystaldispatchbetttymcgin7702]

These amounts she got. Amount to less than $2,000 today.

[@davidlawson5639]

Something really weird happens behind the reporter. Look behind her at 34:39. A figure seems to climb the stairs.

[@RaqBeeden-zr6bg]

I saw it too!

[@shqiponja9743]

It can be a light or reflection, you can see it moves the same way while the camera is moving

[@secretsauce4530]

it's a demon 😈👻☠

[@krystaldispatchbetttymcgin7702]

Holy hannah!!!

[@noonespecial4171]

Ffs

[@nicolina1026]

Why are women the most difficult perpetrators of crime to work out? Is it much harder to understand the motivations of a man who murders and dismembers sex workers (Jack the Ripper and others) or when a woman poisons a friend then lies in bed with them as they die and climaxes repeatedly (Jane Toppan)? Certainly one is more overtly violent and gory, but the motivations don't seem to vary much. And the difference in violence/means of execution appears to have a lot to due with social conditioning and environment.

[@fluffystarafina]

Dr Gary Brucato, have a look at his work if you're interested x

[@katherinecollins4685]

Interesting

[@aleiferthenorthman7935]

how many carton of cigarettes does the narrator smoke...wtf, and her angry stare like she wanna kill the camera lmao she acts, have eyes and voice of a villain

[@troyward8349]

The blonde narrator is kinda scary and creeps me out.

[@fluffystarafina]

It's the way she reads...not saying I'd do any better. Robotic, sounds like she's reading a shopping list. She seems uncomfortable to me.

[@noonespecial4171]

Obviously American and male. This is a typical British woman. An adult.

[@Staffys4Lyfe]

DARK ANGEL 3SERIES

[@Seasidecc95437]

This would have So much better if you showed the two narrators talking in the studio, rather than the repetition images shown over and over

[@ChristopherRobert-ix4cu]

Word of Holy God says Do not follow your Heart, Follow the conviction of the Holy Spirit in Yeshua Hamashiach name.

[@joye.6324]

The heavenly father had no mercy on This generation... i wonder why

[@SmallegangeGilkes]

The blonde narrator needs to stop smoking

[@secretsauce4530]

lol.

[@DeborahScott-w9r]

I like her smokey tone voice. Love the eastern Cockney accent.

[@BengLegaspi]
