19. The Escape from British Alcatraz 1:22:51

On a bitter January day, three men are found to be missing from one of the highest security prisons in the UK, a prison with a reputation as the ‘British Alcatraz’. With seemingly no tools or materials, they have somehow managed to scale two huge perimeter walls. And stranger still is the fact that the men responsible haven’t actually ‘broken out’ of this prison at all. The men responsible have let themselves out, using a key. But with no keys stolen and none of the locks showing any signs of having been picked, how could this be possible? In this week’s episode, Barry and Lora explore the 1995 HMP Parkhurst breakout.

In 1988, a Florida housewife makes an utterly astonishing claim. She says that, on a regular basis, large golden patches spontaneously form across the whole of her body, as though she is literally sweating gold. And that is not even the limit of her powers. This same woman is also a talented psychic, who has worked with the police. Moreover, she can make precious objects fall from her eyes and ears, as though they have been conjured. But is she really a gifted psychic, possessing some of the most extraordinary paranormal skills ever recorded? Or might there have been a more magical method behind the remarkable phenomena?

In 1793, a young woman meets her end in the jaws of the guillotine. But when her severed head is held up to the crowd, her expression is clearly seen to change by multiple witnesses, as though she is still conscious. Similar accounts follow, of freshly-severed heads blinking and winking, blushing and moving their lips, until there are so many witnesses to this gruesome phenomena, they can’t all be mistaken. But surely they must be, as a head remaining conscious after it has been decapitated sounds far too much like a magic trick. Doesn’t it? In this episode of The Magician’s Wife, Barry and Lora investigate the grisly topic of ‘lucid decapitation’.

On the morning of 30th December, 1978, a series of shocking scenes are discovered at a respectable Colorado home. Two teenagers have been shot in their beds, one of them after a bloody struggle.

A young boy unearths a beautiful diamond. But, less than an hour later, the diamond has completely, suddenly and, quite inexplicably, vanished. The boy has no idea whether he will ever see it again. And yet, when he returns home that evening, a diamond is awaiting him. The exact same diamond, in fact, that he discovered hours earlier, the exact same diamond that had vanished. This diamond has reappeared, at the very place at which the boy lives, as though it had mysteriously teleported itself there. But surely such a thing couldn’t be possible… could it? In this episode of The Magician’s Wife, Barry and Lora discuss the story of the diamond disappearances on South Africa’s ‘Diamond Coast’.
