THE MURDER
Alice Wiltshaw's brutal death in Barlaston was described as the 'Murder Of The Century' The body of 62-year-old Alice Wiltshaw was discovered by her husband, Cuthbert, when he returned to their home, Estoril in Barlaston on Wednesday, July 16, 1952.
Cuthbert, a wealthy pottery manufacturer, had finished work for the day and returned to the 14-room mansion in the early evening. To his horror, he found Alice lying in a pool of blood in the kitchen.
The trail of blood, and other evidence, led police to the conclusion that Alice had initially been attacked in the kitchen, probably while she had been preparing the evening meal. The intruder had selected two heavy logs from the scullery and savagely beaten Alice about the head, knocking her senseless.
The assailant had then gone upstairs to steal property and rifle Alice’s handbag and, upon returning downstairs, had discovered that Alice had recovered consciousness and was now standing in the hallway. The attack began again as Alice tried to escape back towards the kitchen. Her assailant had followed her, hitting as he went.
All kinds of weapons had been used; vases, ornaments and finally a three-foot long barbed poker - all of which were found heavily bloodstained. Alice had finally made her way back to the kitchen and as she lay on the floor, dying, the callous killer had stabbed her through the head with the poker. He had also stabbed her in the stomach a number of times.
There were, however, clues for the police to examine. The killer had left behind a footprint and a pair of blood-stained gloves. As for the motive for this terrible crime, that was easy to determine. More than £3,000 worth of jewellery was found to be missing.
Staffordshire Police soon called in assistance from Scotland Yard and Detective Superintendent Reg Spooner was sent to take charge of the case. He soon determined that there was no sign of a break-in and the crime had taken place when the servants were all off-duty.
This suggested that the killer was someone Alice Wiltshaw knew and someone who knew the household routine very well indeed. This, in turn, suggested that an ex-employee would be the right kind of candidate.
One by one, all ex-employees were contacted and eliminated from the inquiry until only one name remained; one man who the police could not trace.
The prime suspect now appeared to be 29-year-old Leslie Green, an ex-borstal boy who had been employed by the Wiltshaws as a chauffeur-gardener. He had used his employer’s car without permission and had been dismissed for disobedience. All this had taken place just a few weeks before the murder.

So nice of you to say that maybe the house was quiet because Alice is at peace. It shows what a class act you are. I don’t think any other paranormal team would say something so kind and respectful.😊

[@ogenevieve]

I think this field has been overrun by ppl who only go to locations to see if they can get an earthbound spirit to do tricks, but I got quite a sincere feeling when you said, "sweetheart." That was lovely. I think if you guys return, you'll allow them to familiarize themselves with you, and you'll find better results. Great job, guys!

[@GhostsOnTrent]

100% agree 👍 it's also overrun by people who fake things to get clicks. We always investigate in a respectful way and we understand that we won't always get interactions 👍

[@user-or6vl8eo8r]

Hello Paul / Mark I’ve lived in Barlaston all my life 50 plus years. About the care home you mentioned. Not sure if it was the murder house but either there or the nearby Wedgwood memorial college was used in World War Two for nursing injured soldiers returned home from the war. Alice wiltshaws husband was the a Director of Carlton pottery. Either the murder house or the memorial college nearby also in the same derelict state now was once the home of victor Johnson he was a director of Johnson Brothers potteryi Until the early 1920s . Full of pottery history Barlaston is. Lots of pot bank owner once lived here the Meakins pottery owners lived in old Barlaston hall in the 1800s there’s a grave in the old church yard for family members. Also Wedgwood family. Tim Barlaston 😊

[@ricanhavoc9965]

Such a sad sad story. I pray Miss Alice is at peace with her husband.

[@junep-bell112]

Hi Paul/Mark. You both are so respectful on your investigations. I wish that one day you can come across a willing spirit to speak to or interact with 😁

[@TraceyG6040]

A terrific investigation handled very sensitively by the guys because of the grisly history of the house. Some odd, unexplained noises now and then and loads of water contaminating the investigation unfortunately. Brilliant watching as usual guys. Absolutely loved Mark's piano concerto at the end ❤️ 😂

[@ScepticParanormalJourneys]

Very respectfully handled, great location, very clear visually, and crisp audio, need to look into these mics myself, Pauls Face when Mark played the 'ghost next to him' piece, lol 😅😅 Epic, proving yet again what a great channel, and more importantly, keeping it real,

[@dogsallowed7]

Great video guys. Definately strange knocks and voices. Also, when Mark asks for any pottery firms, then the ghostube says 'Collar - That is a name of a pottery - Collar pottery Twice it said it too. Coincidence? Well in the words of Albert Einstein a coincedence is God's way of remaining annoymous. I'll go with Albert on that one lol ♥

[@JamesHowe-ci5vt]

The history definitely sets the atmosphere for the investigation in the location.

[@dogsallowed7]

I wouldn't be surprised if this lady's spirit is trapped in this house. What an awful way to have your life ended like that😔

[@ecbuses1236]

What causes a spirit to be trapped?

[@Jdeadevil]

Lol as mean as it was, Mark even convinced me that he could see someone standing next to Paul!

[@AMSprojectsChannel]

😅great sign off with the ghostly piano😅

[@pnormal1111]

Another wonderful location with respectful paranormal investigators...what's not to like 😊

[@sandradring6265]

Brilliant guys...what a place what an investigation! Have to admit, I thought someone was going to enter the place while you were there. Love the playing out on the piano Mark...I’ll hum it mate you play it! 😁👍 thinking of you tomorrow Paul 👍

[@cerriwyn169]

Really enjoyed the intro very professional indeed. Mark seemed very affected by this property. Love how you are both very respectful. Thank you so much for another honest investigation, looking forward to the next one xx👻xx

[@margaretconnery7422]

Great midweek explore boy's and the music accompanied the vlog added to the suspense. What a rotten way to die and it is possible that her spirit would linger there.perfect explore for a freezing frosty night 😊 xxx

[@trickyuk386]

Drive past this house regularly!! Always gives you the chills! especially at night knowing what goes on in there

[@tinaprentice2136]

What a sad story so glad they caught the guy who killed get. Great investigation GOT 🤘🏼❤️

[@Stealthy117]

Best or creepiest thing caught to date. The broom can be explained away, but that mist/orb, what else do you need to categorically say "that's paranormal". You caught it guys, you got the Holy grail. Well done.

[@loraineharvey7944]

Thanks guys love you think mark needs to carrie some crystals with him .hope all goes well for you paul with surgery ⭐♥️

[@marymorgan8728]

Thanks for another great investigation, the respect you showed for the history of the house and your hope that Alice is at peace was wonderful.

[@juliegraham9969]

when Mark says waiting for us to make a noise it's just after keep looking it's not marks breathe 😮

[@juliegraham9969]

21.28 when you both moved forward listening out because you seen lights ....... marl heard a noise put his finger up! if you look throught the doorway there's another door look above on wall you can see a white type figure move from right to left!!!! plain as day PLEASE LOOK 😊

[@marekpaul6110]

Another textbook investigation at a very well known location. Great banter, humour and absolute respect for the property and its former owners/occupants. It's a shame the carrier bag didn't make it for this outing or maybe I just missed it. Investigation result was more or less as usual but that never detracts from the end result. Nice to see the GhostTube app talking rubbish as usual, perhaps you could try it's interesting SLS function next time you are out and about 🙂

[@lyndachilds6587]

Great investigation and you have to be pleased that the lady is at peace and not haunting the hall.

[@RealEvidenceUK]

Great investigation lads… such a shame about the loud leak in the ceiling would love to have got in that kitchen to call out. Looking forward to the next one 👍🏻

[@denise-cv7nl]

Oh no I missed it, I thought it was at 9. Great location guys, VERY VERY creepy. That poor woman ❤ Mark, you could be a sensitive, I've watched loads of your videos and always thought you might be. You should get some crystals and put them under your pillow or bed, meditate etc. Same to you paul. You should both have protection crystals anyway, given the nature of your investigations...black tourmaline/ amethyst/ quartz on your person, selenite in your home and various crystals under your bed! Take care boys xx

[@cerriwyn169]

Crikey this place looks pretty sinister? Looking forward to it guys, notification on xx👻xx

[@Alex-Z-Ander]

Great investigation! I totally enjoyed this. Always honest & professional! Mark and Paul, I also appreciate your sense of humor! 😅 Thank you!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ExploreWithShano]

Great video guys. Your intro is similar to mine 😂 I’ve got loads of history about the murder before the explore but I couldn’t focus too much on the explore due to the water. I did try and stop it but I had the same issue and couldn’t get into the room where it was coming from. I heard that somebody stole the boiler and that’s why it’s like that. Idiots mate. Keep it up guys

[@hellen__1]

Unfortunately I was too late. but I watched it. what a beautiful house. and unfortunately completely neglected. when you thought someone was outside and later came in. that was exciting. And i was holding my breath. And then Mark said there is someone next to you 😅. I thought where where I don't see it This was realy a great investigation.

[@tinapartridge9303]

Great one guys sen this place many times over the last couple of years, sad to see it now falling into decay. Nice one Mark for getting Paul 😅( sorry Paul ) he proper fell for it. Hopefully as you say she is at peace and moved on.🖤👻🖤👻🖤

[@dianelopes8199]

great place , what a terrible crime poor women , really enjoyed the watch guys

[@martinpawley647]

Great investigation lads. Hope the surgery goes well Paul.👍

[@keepingitrealUK]

That could be a beautiful house if it was refurbished.

[@dealyboy]

Love the name and in the right place ... 🙂👍

[@Adrian-RealEvidence]

[@John_Hinkley]

Hi guys. Not sure if you saw but at 24:20 there was a light that passed from right to left.

[@janeyheath6307]

I love the way you are both so respectful, I really hope Alice is at peace, and the best paranormal teams don't get results in every building they go into you are both up there as honest, non-fakery paranormal investigators. keep safe x

[@sionandjess]

Will there be any censorship of the bathroom footage? Lol!

[@margaretconnery7422]

Love a mystery explore boy's see you later 🔦😳🍀👻 xx

[@dealyboy]

Thanks for uploading this Paul ... once again we all wish you well mate !

[@Neko-Kitten-in-Sapporo]

There used to be a boiler, and the copper wire thieves got in and gutted the boiler and everywhere else. that was quite a while ago and one of the reason's there is continuous water pouring out everywhere. I am surprised the water board haven't switched the water off, that is a significant amount of water lost over the years. It is quite a disgusting amount of water wasted.

[@user-bs4ky8fn5e]

A bad history but in it's day must have been a lovely house.great video lads keep rocking 👍🇬🇧♥️

[@cornwallparanormalresearch2378]

Like and shared out in community. ⌚

[@Anthony-jk2ye]

Doors open, but no one in many thanks guys 👍 pitty about the house tho so so nice 👍

[@lindatimmons3675]

I got chills all over after hearing what happened to this woman. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you guys will still get the most phenomenal evidence of what you are looking for. About that water is there anyway it could be turned off so it wont be just running. It dosent make sense to just let it run. Great expore anyway. Good work .....👍

[@suechadwick121]

Just in time. Looking forward to seeing you guys. Found your channel a few weeks ago ❤

[@JodiS-hi2cu]

I hope you guys never stop making videos! I love every single one! ❤️

[@GhostsOnTrent]

Thank you so much Jodi 🙂

[@Irishman5]

Good videos as usual lads but sad what happened there. RIP🙏

[@blueneeson9888]

Thanks Paul You Allways Make A Good Video Unfortunately You Don't Allways Find Things But The Videos Are Good How's Your Brother Matt

[@susanrawson6318]

Great investigation guys. I appreciate all that you do. Thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@lunevalleyparanormal]

This house must be one of the most visited after east drive

[@GhostsOnTrent]

It's been investigated quite a few times over the years. We thought it'd be great to go back and tell the history of the place more than anything

[@lindatimmons3675]

​@@GhostsOnTrent.... so many don't tell the history of the place.

[@user-sc3jq5fu2b]

Love these guys

[@annjones2615]

Thank you guys be safe god bless

[@denisekelly4848]

👏👏👏 another great video

[@thughes52]

Good investigation Paul & mark ....👍

[@ParanormalbyThesea]

Amazing video as always. Love how honest your investigations are. Dollie n Ste 💜💙

[@djmossssomjd8496]

I can imagine Paul giving Mark a bollocking after the videos ended for that trick...coulda been a smelly brown outcome from that!! 🙂 Nice try again chaps.

[@shirleythompson8251]

I couldn't help chuckling when Mark did that 😅 Paul's face was a picture when he realised he was being fooled. It was a mixture of, relief, disappointment and wanting to throttle Mark 😄(naughty Mark)

[@daezeechayne462]

good one!

[@audreyatkinson4046]

Such a sad story guys once again a great investigation ❤❤

[@hermanmoore5825]

Love the video be safe

[@karenpringle7794]

What another amazing property left vacant, what a shame, an horrific way to die, another brilliant investigation from you both, if you did capture the holy grail would you stop investigating guys ??, I hope not xx ⭐👍👻👻👀

[@kimmcbay7039]

I would like to see y'all investigate the Driskill Hotel in the US Austin Texas it's known to be haunted

[@donnaj4678]

Can you complain to someone about that water! It needs turning off! What a waste 😢 We don’t waste water over here in Australia. 🇦🇺

[@user-pp8id7yp1k]

I agree, the water board should be informed straight away

[@sambartram3765]

Sorry lads just got round to watching this football last night so missed the live glad to no Alice is at peace but Mark stick to pottery your piano days are over mate haha

[@Explorergirluk]

Evening lads looking for ward to this one 🤘🤘🤘

[@annamorrison6090]

Kohler pottery??

[@philipomeinteil]

Evening all

[@SweetPollyPureblood]

It's not just you guys but many paranormal channels say, "....if you are here". That's about a hair away from saying, If you're not here, please let us know. Cracks me up every time someone says it. 😆 Like you're giving them permission to not respond if they're not there. 🤣

[@GhostsOnTrent]

Maybe you can stand in the dark in the freezing cold and show us how it's done 👍

[@SweetPollyPureblood]

@@GhostsOnTrent I could. But I'm not That interested. Little touchy are we?

[@GhostsOnTrent]

@@SweetPollyPureblood touchy? Not at all. I think it's a fair response to a very sarcastic comment. you're not that interested but you are so bothered about how we call out.

[@SweetPollyPureblood]

@@GhostsOnTrent Not bothered by it. Just think it's amusing how you talk to someone you think might not be there. LOL It was tongue in cheek--til you got touchy.

[@SweetPollyPureblood]

@@GhostsOnTrent LOL In all fairness, now I'm being touchy about your being touchy. But it really was tongue in cheek. I've been watching you guys for a few weeks and I do like your channel so a thousand pardons.

[@natalieshort1783]

didn't the guy that comitted the crime get hung to death? that could be in reference to the word "collar"

[@grahamwormald2634]

was there any pigeons

[@jillwanlin9558]

There’s no way I could go into a place where someone was murdered. Very brave if you. Just terrible what happened to Alice Wilshaw. - here’s what I thought I heard…@5:08 ? man speaking, @9:48 voice making human sound or ? one of your stomachs, @ 28:38 sounds like a man singing, almost as if from a radio. Tbh I thought I could hear a radio in the background here and there. 🤷‍♀️ not sure. - just a question, not a criticism…I always wear my earbuds so I can turn the volume full blast and be alert to voices/noises. The problem is that both of you have loud speaking voices as it is, and it’s impossible to find a balance. Any suggestions? - another great, respectful video guys. - 🇨🇦🇬🇧 - ❤️GOT

[@edwinradcliffe2549]

Turn the stop tap off

[@JonPaul1953]

Cripes lads, that's ghastly. Made worse because they must've been decent folks to give a young offender a chance, especially as it was over 70 years ago🤷‍♂️. Notification deployed 💥

[@michelledaviesburton1334]

Hi 👋

[@staceyrees353]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@fandoria09]

How long has that home been abandoned? There is an energy saver light bulb that is of current date in the kitchen ceiling. Those didn't exist at the time of that lady's untimely demise.

[@GhostsOnTrent]

She was murdered in 1952 so yeah definitely not. I did mention in the video that this place was last a carehome but it had been many other things throughout the years since 1952 👍

[@Portaltotheparanormal70]

8 ho0e alice is at peace too. What a lovepy thing to say boys. Thats whyni like you and beieve in yiu

[@KevinSmith-ve9sy]

Guys, was there anyway you could’ve shut off the water meter so it wouldn’t ruin the whole building? Just wondering s all.

[@GhostsOnTrent]

Hey Kevin, we've looked on 2 occasions and unfortunately we couldn't find the mains 😔

[@KevinSmith-ve9sy]

At least you tried , great investigation considering that. Thanks fells.

[@JonPaul1953]

Maybe it's time to take the superstition, folklore and myth out of the paranormal, lads?. Is there any logic in why a murder victim would haunt a crime scene? Why would an executed murderer return to haunt a crime scene?. The more I watch the truly legit channels like you guys, Dead Cold and Amy's Crypt etc, the less sense this sort of claim makes. The Paranormal exists, of that there is no doubt in my mind, but every kosher investigation like this just reinforces my view that it's just the normal for which we currently don't have an explanation but, when we do, it'll be a scientific one. Keep on truckin', lads👍!

[@peterwassmuth4014]

I would never call out, trying to summon the Dead! Unless you want an answer. In general! Disturbing, calling out spirits, ghosts, entities, from other dimensions it Is not a good idea. So be careful out there! Not all ghosts or spirits and entities Are Holy!!

[@Majortruth.]

at 28:05 a sound? was that one of you two?. at 28:19 another sound metal or ?. at 31:06 sounds like a woman saying ( Boxes or Foxes ). I only say what I can hear please let me know guys. GG Guys.

[@shirleythompson8251]

Just checked and you're right I could hear each example you gave. Not sure what caused them, but, i definitely heard.

[@JimboJones11]

31:06 can deffo hear a voice

[@djmossssomjd8496]

Paul. I sent you an email a couple of weeks ago. If you'll reply to it I have a further suggestion for you two.

[@eileenpayne715]

Why do different teams premiere at same time

[@GhostsOnTrent]

KZbin is a huge platform. Anyone can premiere when they want too 👍

[@tijgeroog5437]

Don't try to debunk everything too much, we hear and see what is going on. I am also a ghost hunter myself, but I only help people who have some problems with ghosts.. But you are so kind to them. But you have to ask things first to get them to do something when you notice someone is there. How would you feel if a ghost hunter came for the umpteenth time and asked, could you do this or that for me? I'd let you run.I like you guys. And how you try to be so kind to the spirits. But sometimes too much debunking.And film more around you, and not on yourselves

[@AnitaDrake-hz8nh]
