11 Most Disturbing Murder Houses in Lancashire
Deserted UK
13,298 views
Eleven ordinary Lancashire houses are still standing exactly where someone was murdered inside them. Some are lived in right now by families who may never know what the walls have seen. A guest house where a sixteen-year-old was stabbed fifty-eight times still takes bookings tonight. And the house at number one didn't just hold a murder — it rewrote how murder is investigated in this country.
In this video, we explore:
→ Setters Farm, once the Joiner's Arms beerhouse near Ribchester: a landlady murdered for hidden cash in 1862, and the building never closed — it's a working farmhouse today, over 160 years later
→ A Chorley bungalow where a killer wrote "no brain" across his victim's face in mascara, placed a 10p coin over her eye, then went shopping for new clothes the next morning
→ Redcar Road, Blackpool: a homeless woman offered a room, then beaten and strangled inside the one place she had permission to feel safe
→ Seafield Road, Blackpool — three separate murders on one ordinary terraced street in twenty-five years, including a dismemberment where remains were distributed in bins across two counties
→ Ivy Dene, Ormskirk: two sisters beaten to death with their own fireplace poker and candlesticks in 1956, and nobody was ever caught — the case file is still open
→ Congress Street, Chorley: a nursery worker killed by her partner after colleagues had already noticed injuries and raised concerns that weren't enough to save her
→ An end terrace in Accrington where five family members died behind locked doors in a petrol fire set by their own father — a surviving son in hospital for leukemia lost his mother and sisters, then died six weeks later
→ Grafton House Hotel, Kirby Road: still a working guest house tonight, still under the same name, despite a sixteen-year-old being lured there by a fake job interview and murdered in 2013
→ A semi-detached house on Colne Road, Burnley, listed for sale at £125,000 — with the estate agent's description explicitly disclosing that a double murder took place inside
→ And at number one: a house on one of Lancaster's most respectable civic squares, next to the town hall, where a doctor once ran his surgery — and what happened in the bathtub changed forensic science in Britain forever

What a total joke the authorities play on the dear victims each and every time now with these so called LIFE sentences.
What a totally awful so called "justice" these dear victims and their families and loved ones have to contend with after these terrible incidents. No justice UK without a shadow of a doubt. RIP to the dear innocent victims and no wonder murder such a popular pastime in Britain, once the place of the best justice in the world.
