This week on Eavesdroppin’, Geordie & Michelle look at vampires - and clowns - and murder…

When Rockhampton teenager Tracey Wigginton became interested in the occult and witchcraft, no one could have predicted what would come next. Obsessed with idea of 'feeding on blood', over the next years Tracey began to explore drinking the blood of animals before eventually wanting to drink the blood of humans. What followed was a horror show. Dubbed the Australian Lesbian Vampire Killer, Tracey and her circle of friends abducted and murdered 47 year old Edward Baldock while Tracey drank his blood. Listen now to discover what happened to Tracey and her friends and why Tracey gives goths a bad name...

Geordie follows with a perplexing look at the Gorbals vampire hunt of 1954. When a group of kids in Glasgow reported seeing a 7ft vampire with iron teeth who supposedly had killed two local children, the kids decided to hunt down this vampire in the local cemetery. The result? A moral panic that led to the censorship and banning of comic books and a terrifying siege on a traveller family. Geordie also discusses the disturbing 1973 incident of The Sandown Clown on the Isle of Wight. Called All Colours Sam, was this strange being a weird clown, an alien or was it all just strange folklore? Listen now to find out!

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chat about Elon Musk, celebrity Gogglebox, chit-chat about forensic cleaning and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!
