About a year or two ago I watched a doc (I think on BBC?) about the Mad Cow Disease scandal and it disturbed me so much I still think about it often and can’t eat meat.

Omg yes, I watch a lot of forensic files and this one came up, it really unnerved me. There was another episode of forensic files about a US-based cult, the Rajneeshee? - who ran in some sort of vote and, in an attempt to rig the vote, created up some salmonella in a lab, put the salmonella sample into spray bottles and went to (open buffet style) restaurants spraying it on all the food and door handles, people got really ill, that one genuinely makes me feel ill at the thought of eating at open buffet type restaurants :sick: and partially amazed that you can just tamper with food like that!

I listened to it in bed and I was terrified!! The phone call that the ex husband received was CLEARLY her. But it was soooo chilling 🥴

yeah defo- I was terrified!! The only other one that terrified me was the Golden State killer/Original Night stalker/ East Area rapist Episodes. I couldn't sleep after listening to them. Very conscious it’s about real people but the story telling on the podcast is brilliant! X

have you listened to the Brian wells case? Oh my god that one is INSANE!!!
There’s an entire Netflix series about it but imo, casefile covers the case so much better. Then you can go to Netflix to see the real life (grizzly) footage if you want to. It’s the case that got me hooked on Casefile.

ooh no I haven't! another to add to the list!
 
In about 2008, 'Bulgaria's abandoned children' about the state run orphanages. Heartbreaking. My husband and I weren't married back then, but living together, and we decided instead of presents that Christmas, we'd donate to the children. It was just horrendous. I often wonder what the situation is for those children now.

God it’s so sad isn’t it. I don’t know if I could stomach it 😰 it was the same situation in Romania, they outlawed abortion and contraception and ended up with children living like animals in bleeping horrible children’s homes who just couldn’t give them the help they needed. I’m sick of men in bleeping pristine suits telling women what they can do with their wombs.

yes to this. Same situation in many states of America where it’s now virtually to obtain a termination. The result - many unwanted children. So sad.

Yes! This is so interesting. When they were looking at the case of the man who murdered his wife and they could tell from the blood splatter, what motion he was using with the knife, just from looking at blood on a wall!

An old uni friend was studying Forensic Science and their "final exam" was to be bussed out to this massive field where a (fake obviously) murder had taken place. That sounded much more fascinating than my boring old history exams 🤣🤣

This documentary is on my to watch list but unfortunately DH wants to watch it too so need to wait when he's around.

A lady I used to work with in the late '80s adopted a child from somewhere in Europe where there was war tension ... I honestly can't remember where. Poor thing was absolutely traumatised (as was the mother when she went to collect her, which had to be done via several aid agencies and there were times when her husband couldn't get hold of her so didn't know what was happening). Anyhoo, the girl was about three when she took her back to Australia (where I was living at the time), and really struggled all throughout her childhood. It was very, very sad. Despite growing up in a loving home along with another child (a son) of the same age this lady and her husband had adopted (from within Australia), the daughter just never adjusted, and ended up running away from home at 14. She contacted this lady quite a few years later to say she'd gone back to her homeland that she had been "ripped away from" ... she honestly couldn't see that these people had tried their best to give her a better life. It was so sad and really tore her adoptive parents up.
