[@DaysofHorror]

My kind of story 😯 I'd never heard this one but you told the story so well. I guess it goes to show, none of us quite know what is going on in someones head and what they are thinking.

[@matparks08]

Yeah, it's like something just snapped as we have to presume he wasn't like that 12 months earlier when they married. Thanks buddy 🙂

[@leekrogulski2415]

Great video, really interesting and also very sad, never heard about this story before

[@matparks08]

Cheers Lee. Yeah, a bit of a forgotten story from Todmorden's history, overshadowed maybe by the Vicarage murders. Hope you're well, and thanks for comment 🙂

Wow abit of a gruesome story but interesting.. I was only asking other day where Hanging Ditch was .. Thanks for this video 👍

[@matparks08]

Yeah, I think it's a fairly forgotten story. Thanks for the comment 🙂

Good video, may I suggest another topic? The murder of James Bowman in Cornholme?

[@matparks08]

Thanks a lot 😊. Not heard of that one, I'll look it up. Cheers

[@rogerbarton1790]

Very interesting, a fair chunk of my family is in the overgrown section of Cross Stone.

[@matparks08]

Thanks for watching. Cross Stone is, sadly, far far worse now than this video. Hopefully one day something can happen to it. All the best

[@pammace3820]

A sad tale Mat. Did Hanging Ditch used to have hangings?

[@matparks08]

Thanks for watching, surprisingly it's just the name of it, and it's not the only hanging ditch around either....however. maybe way back in time it had another meaning?

[@tohow85]
