Archibald Hall, the Monster Butler (Part One)

Archibald Hall was, by his own accounts, a 'lascivious' lover of sex, jewels and antiques. He was also a petty thief, cat burglar and confidence trickster. Lacking much of a conscience and having little in the way of empathy, the handsome Hall wreaked havoc among the beautiful, rich and powerful of both Glasgow and London throughout his life.Part One tells the story of Archibald's formative years through to his ascension to the position of butler to the rich and aristocratic and eventually to his first murder, David Wright at Kirtleton Estate in Dumfries and Galloway.Part Two will be a special weekly release on the 31st of December, which will tell the story of Archibald's swift descent into madness, mayhem and murder...I'm JS..... and this, is Skinwalker.------------Background Audio courtesy of Audioblocks, all rights reserved.Primary Audio recorded by JS, all rights reserved.Research, Script and Post-Production by: Matt KSources utilised: The Monster Butler: Inside the Mind of a Serial Killer by Allan Nicol, The Wicked Mr Hall: Memoirs of a Butler Who Loved to Kill by Archibald Hall, various print media articles and case files available online.
