À propos de cet audio
In 1828, a grand celebration marked the trial of Britain’s first passenger railway—but by the end of the day, one of the country’s most powerful men was dead. William Huskisson, MP, was struck by The Rocket in a gruesome accident that unfolded in front of the Duke of Wellington and dozens of shocked onlookers.
As the wheels of progress crushed Huskisson’s leg and his legacy, rumours of hauntings began to follow the railway line. Was his death just an unfortunate error—or something more sinister?
Join me for a Macabre Mini Mystery exploring the moment technology turned deadly—and the ghost story it left behind.
🚂 Death on the tracks, ghosts in the tunnels, and the day progress demanded a price.
