Great stuff Ant,just shows what greed does to peoples minds,that sort of stuff still goes on but not by way of poisoning thats a cruel thing to do knowing how rat poison works... Thanks Ant always entertaining
Poor lady came to a sticky end after all that Jam scoffing😂..the husband was smarter than people thought i reckon, canny fella. Both Pierpoint and the last hangman Harry Allen both became pub landlords once they retired. Very good that Ant, another top effort.👍👏👏🍺

Wow Absolutely brilliant!! The narrative that led us in to her childhood experience and her need to have finance and a nice home despite having an inability to settle to any job or sustain relationships It makes one wonder if the children were harmed by her. too The fact her remaining children were taken from her shows she was perhaps cold hearted and incapable of mothering. Grandiose bragging compulsive lying and lack of empathy denotes Psychopathological character Everything she did was to get to where she wanted to be. Others were used and objectified Mrs Ricketts and her background of both husbands gassing themselves again is very sinister and suspect.

My all time favorites of yours began with yr film : 'The Mystery of the Man on the Moor' , to - 'The Murder on Cock Robin Bridge ' & then followed by the visit to the Patricia Atkinson's flat. You need to do more true crime in my opinion.

@@loftyskies123 it sure does. It made me second guess as well. There could be something sinister on her behalf. Who knows lol. Thanks so much for watching 👍🏼⭐️

Well that’s put me off jam for life 😮. Why did she get rat poison what happened to the old standbys arsenic couple of fly papers soaked in water added to drinks 😊.
I was married to her husbands granddaughter. It was very cagey anything to do with him. None of the family had and probably still don’t have a clue. I found out after I got divorced.
@@daftmonkey7296 The third. Albert Merrifield. His son Roy was an only child. He’d refuse to talk about him other than to say he was a bad one. The family were quite prim. To be honest me and a brother in law joked he’d been done for buggery. I only found out when I was doing my family tree. Which was when I saw your channel, the little Ireland vid.
@@monton80 wow! No way! Well I believe he wasn’t what he seemed and I purposely left a detail out about him because he was in fact convinced of a certain something but decided to leave it out as I didn’t want to dig any further into it. 👀
@@hyper837 no I’m not sadly Terri. My account got hacked. I’ve lost everything on there. Absolutely gutted. If you go to my community post on UA-cam I’ve wrote a message.

Only a minute in but I’m wondering… what happened to Blackpool? 🤔 I didn’t know it used not have a bad reputation. Sounds great, sounds like Cornwall or something

My all time favorites of yours began with yr film : 'The Mystery of the Man on the Moor' , to - 'The Murder on Cock Robin Bridge ' & then followed by the visit to the Patricia Atkinson's flat. You need to do more true crime in my opinion.
It is your forté.
You live in Manchester. Should be loads of material ... 🤔
@@pyewackett5 thank a lot! I’ve got plenty lined up that are true crime. Might have to book some time off work to get them film! Thanks for the support 👍🏼⭐️
@@daftmonkey7296
just a suggestion.
Nothing more :)
@@daftmonkey7296
Just a suggestion. Nothing more
'The Angel of the Meadow' was memorable also.
The 'Great Gatsby' - 'Roaring '20's ' material still haunts to this day ...
True crime 👍
Thanks Ant, you never disappoint.
cheers Peter!
Fantastic again!!❤
@@Fruityfox85 thank you so much 👍🏼⭐️
Never heard about this case!!! . Thanks 'Young un' really enjoyed. 🙏👍
nice one mate! really happy to hear that!
Brilliant as always!
@@stratfan thank you so much! 👍🏼⭐️
im in Blackpool never heard of this story ,bit odd mrs rickets 2 hubbys gassed them selves . hmm makes you wonder about her too . great video, just subbed
@@loftyskies123 it sure does. It made me second guess as well. There could be something sinister on her behalf. Who knows lol. Thanks so much for watching 👍🏼⭐️
Wow what a story! I wonder if she would have carried on and murdered Alfred to gain the whole estate? Mind you what did Mrs Ricketts take to the grave with two husbands committing suicide! If only that bungalow could tell its story. Clearly much much more to these events, great video Ant thank you 🙏
@@TorchTaleMiniatures I agree Charlotte! I think if she would have got away with it Alfred would have been next for sure. That house will definitely have a story to tell. I bet it’s well haunted haha! Thanks for watching once again ⭐️
About time you tool. Been waiting far too long. Please don’t wait that long again. Don’t know your circumstances,but I hope all is well. Cheers r kid.
hahah! theres plenty more to come mate. out this weekend filming so hopefully a quite fire video coming up!

I'm from Blackpool. 💕
@@MyVmh are you. That place holds some amazing memories for me as a child .
Thanks Anthony. Brilliant!
thank you Mandy!
Great video thanks 👏
@@AzizahAndrade thank you for watching ⭐️👍🏼
When I saw the thumbnail I thought god what’s Meghan markle done now lol but no far better than a bit of gossip ,a great well researched video from daft monkey yet again . Very enjoyable
@@sarahsallotmentjourney hahaha! Really glad you enjoyed it Sarah! Thanks so much for watching 😁⭐️👍🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 glad you got the Meghan markle reference lol aways watch
@@sarahsallotmentjourney 😂😂
Very good Anthony I am going to have brew jam on toast
@@Victoria-c8u3c haha! To be honest it’s a classic combo! 🥪 🫖
@@daftmonkey7296 I am going to visit wax works in Blackpool not been in years did you go when you was filming
@@Victoria-c8u3c no I didn’t unfortunately but I have been before. It was really good
I used to live a few hundred yards down from here on Inver Road. But I had never heard of this crime before! Really interesting and informative, but that house must be as creepy as feck and I hope whoever lives there knows of its gruesome past?
@@martinholmes1493 wow that amazing Martin. I thought the same. That house has witnessed some misery, even before Louisa popped up. Must be eerie inside. Thanks for watching mate. Nice to hear you enjoyed it 👍🏼⭐️
Great video,really interesting
thank you Susan!
live about a mile off that bungalow my dad always used to point it out
@@garygee1468 do you. It has a few stories to tell that’s for sure. Lovely area and house though
@@daftmonkey7296 we moved from Salford in the 1960s there quite a few stories like this in Blackpool like the bride in the bath murder just off caunce street
@@garygee1468 ooooh that’s another belter I could do! I’ve just added it to the list! Thanks a lot Gary!
It is odd that Mrs Riekerts husbands both gassed themselves. Could she also have been a wicked woman 🤔.
I think she was and I reckon there was a few skeletons in her closet!
I walk past the bungalow where it happened all the time. I wonder if the owners revel in its history or try to pretend it didn't happen.
@@justamanwithanopinion haha I thought the same. I’m sure they are aware of what went on. So strange. It must be haunted lol. Thanks for watching the video 👍🏼⭐️
It is a treat
Well that’s put me off jam for life 😮. Why did she get rat poison what happened to the old standbys arsenic couple of fly papers soaked in water added to drinks 😊.
@@Elaine-Todd 😂😂😂
I was married to her husbands granddaughter. It was very cagey anything to do with him. None of the family had and probably still don’t have a clue. I found out after I got divorced.
@@monton80 oh wow really! Thats so strange. I can imagine it was brushed under the carpet. Which husband if you don’t mind me asking?
@@daftmonkey7296 The third. Albert Merrifield. His son Roy was an only child. He’d refuse to talk about him other than to say he was a bad one. The family were quite prim. To be honest me and a brother in law joked he’d been done for buggery. I only found out when I was doing my family tree. Which was when I saw your channel, the little Ireland vid.
@@monton80 wow! No way! Well I believe he wasn’t what he seemed and I purposely left a detail out about him because he was in fact convinced of a certain something but decided to leave it out as I didn’t want to dig any further into it. 👀

Ant. Are you not on Facebook anymore? ❤ Terri xx
@@hyper837 no I’m not sadly Terri. My account got hacked. I’ve lost everything on there. Absolutely gutted. If you go to my community post on UA-cam I’ve wrote a message. Just gutted that people might think I’ve vanished. Took me 5 years to build that page too. Can’t get any of it back unfortunately 😢
Here we go!❤
Only a minute in but I’m wondering… what happened to Blackpool? 🤔 I didn’t know it used not have a bad reputation. Sounds great, sounds like Cornwall or something
@@MissMentats I think it’s due for a big renovation to be honest. Back in the day it was a lovely place to spend quality time. Sad to see it how it is today but it still has that magic about it. Thanks for watching ⭐️👍🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 make Blackpool great again! Mbga…. 🤷♀️
Thanks Anthony
cheers Hugh!
Why,is it not enough miserable and grey skies all round
