The Family That FEARED Tomorrow - THREE Sisters Found Gassed (1957) // Langho
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 жов 2024
- In August 1957, Andrew and Elsie Marshall were a couple haunted by the growing fear of a new war and the terrifying specter of the H-bomb. They had reached a breaking point and the weight of an uncertain future became unbearable.
In a desperate attempt to shield their children-Sandra, age 10, Yvonne, age 9, and little Moira, just 5 - from the horrors they feared were inevitable, they made a fateful decision.
Late one night, the Marshalls ended their children's lives, believing it to be a mercy.
Days later, they took their own lives, leaving behind a small, quiet town reeling from the darkness that had unfolded within its borders.
This is the real story of the Marshall family.

Very Sad Story Very Well Told Guy.s
Thank you Jon 😊
It wasn’t love that killed those children, it was fear.
@@mushymagazineonlocation7328 absolutely 💯
It was both I think. I think the fear drove them to "protect" the children they loved from something worse than just falling asleep after a night of playful fun.
I now refuse to watch the news and only read a couple of headlines that pop up on UA-cam. I hate what the press does. They spread fear and sadly they "guess" what might happen. It's no longer reporting on what has happened it's what will this turn into. I don't want that in my life. Yes I suppose I live in a bubble as such but I want to know what will affect my day to day life as that's all I can cope with xx
Gosh, what a tragic tale. I wonder if they suffered trauma during WW2 and couldn't face possibly going through it again? I stopped watching the news and reading papers around 2019....too much negativity, and i feel better for cutting it out of my life. Great video all the same. Take care.
It's crazy to think about what happened. I'm bad for reading and watching the news, and it's something I really need to stop doing.
What a brutally sad story of one man's fear of the world around him..he took his children's lives to protect them....he loved his children..thank you for bringing this story to us..this one needed to be told...god bless them.
Thank you so much, Susan, for commenting. I think from reading all the fabulous comments to this story, many feel it was an act of selfishness in some way, brought on by a fear or paranoia. But also, a good question many have asked is why didn't both parents lie down with the girls and all gone together?
Oh my goodness what a terribly sad story 😢. I totally agree with you Vicky, a mother should never have agreed to what her husband wanted. She should have stood up for her children and protected them. But in this particular story it sounds as if the husband totally brain washed her mind and her proper thinking. So so sad indeed. 😢 The media obviously played a huge role in this case, but not everyone has the same mind set of those two people, so at the same time their poor sweet children had to pay a price as well. 😢
Thanks again Chris and Vicky for bringing this story back to life, and for sharing. 👍👍
Thanks Shirley to watching and commenting.
So very sad I could never imagine as a mother doing that to my children no matter what, you did a great job telling us the story thank you so much 👏👏👏👏💕💕
Thank you so much!
😢😢😢
I'm a parent to a 25 yr old son and a 27 year old daughter and i would do my best to help them out if needed.I would want to look out for my kid's and protect them as best I could .
My children will always be put first and second to none. 😊 Cheers guy's xx
Once again I agree with our lovely Vickie. 😊 love again from Bangkok ❤
Thanks Jennifer hope your well. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video guys. Such a sad event. The fear I can totally understand in this tragic tale. The atomic bombs of the second world war would still be fresh in their minds. Images of innocent people and children in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the true horror of this new type of war were all over the media too. Add to that they'd just lived through the horrors of the second world to be greeted with "Well done for surviving that, but look what we can do next time. Oh and we already don't like each other by the way......" Fear for their children suffering in the future,? Yes, I can see where their line of thinking started, but in no way do I condone their actions. What I dont understand once they'd reached that sad decision, is why they left them alone in those final hours. To me, surely you'd just lie down, embrace them and all be together to the end and pass the same way like Vickie said.
My thoughts exactly. Why not all go together?

Such a sad tale.. and one that sadly isn't the first.. MH ie still so difficult to find help with.. but at least people are speaking more.. so glad you have laid flowers.. that's really quite special because those flowers contain all the energy of those of us watching.. sending love and peace to that family ❤
Thanks Sapphire
Such a sad story. RIP. Respectfully done DOH♥
Thanks Lorraine 👍
Such a sad story. As a Father i couldnt have possibly done that. As a Father or Parent i believe your job and instinct should be to protect your children at all cost and keep them from harm.
However the parents felt they justified their actions, its still murder. Those poor little girls didnt have a choice.
Thanks again Chris and Vickie for keeping peoples memory alive.
Yes, sorry I just referred in the video as a mothers feeling and never mentioned a father's, but i think you all understand i was meaning loving parents but not dream of doing this to children no matter what 😢
@@Daysofhorror-vickie Absolutely Vickie 💯
Omg that was a hard-hitting story 😢😢I get what they were feeling. You would panic but on the other hand as a mother I chould go to work knowing what would happen I'd fight for my kids spend every moment you have got every child has a voice don't take there life away from them love them and keep them safe
💯 Mandy. Hope your well
@@Daysofhorror-vickie yer we are OK getting there slowly
Such a sad sad story, those poor children didn’t deserve to die. How could anyone do this to their own children. If the parents were so terrified of how the world was going then maybe they should of not had any children at all
Good point. 👍
Unfortunately I understand the war could have influenced them along with media, but imo no excuse to ever hurt your child. You protect at all costs x
So tragic. Well done guys for respectfully bringing this story to our attention. Such a shame a lot of these people who died under tragic circumstances don't have a headstone.
Yeah seems so cold no headstones
such a sad story, i agree with vickie no mother should ever do that. maybe it was mental health as back then it wasnt heard of. after going through the WW2 and believing the even bigger war was coming affected the way their minds saw things. if this hadnt happened the family would has had a long happy life.
Mental health causes so much sadness. thank you for showing us this.
Yes possibly Kathy, but even going down the mental health route, I personally cannot grasp that imo 😊
Thanks guys I love watching your new videos this morning it was a sad one😢😢 xx
Thx 👍
Hi guys!! Any case with children in is devastating! I agree!! Like Vickie says I could never hurt my child or any child!! I just can't get my head around it! To take the lives of your children because of the news & what you think is going to happen. Murder plain &simple. Thanks for telling this story ..love you guys !!
100% Dawn 😊
Great video as always guys, i for ine cant understand how loving parents, could do this to there children, buts its a mad world and only getting madder! 😢
💯 agree with this comment. Thanks Noodle 😊
Great video , an excellent story once again!.. so very very sad 😔, I personally, couldn't do what those parents did , as a mother, I just couldn't do it. 💔
💯 agree, that's the part I do not grasp. A mother just would not, no matter what imo 😊
This was an extremely selfish thing to do☹️Children are innocent, and the repercussions had ripples.
Look after your family and friends, because at the end of the day this is all we truly have in this world♥️
Tell the ones you care for that you love them and hold them tight, you may never have the chance to do so again ♥️
ABSOLUTELY 💯 SELFISH.
💯
💯
A tragic story...well told. We all have fears but we for the most part conquer them.We don't commit murder.The hardest part is that the mother agreed to this..blindly giving in to an obviously mentally disturbed husband.
Thanks guy's although a sad one
😢
It is a very tragic story. I feel the parents of the children thought they were doing the best for them at the time. I don’t think it was done in malice.
Agree
I definitely agree
It is the children you feel sorry for
Well presented video
Many thanks Karl
Sad they had no headstones, I wonder who ever lives in the house on spring terrace knows what's happened there,I couldn't live there after that happening. Sad story 😢
Yes we always talk about whether or not the people living in the homes where these horrid things happened. I do not think I could if I knew the back story..
Another great one peeps- sad in so many ways - especially the children but also the parents despite what they did- hope you can squeeze one in in Thursday ,,! 😥
I'm working on him 😊
Thanks Carol
@@Daysofhorror-vickietie him down if you have to 😅
Due to the Monday upload taking more researching time than expected we won't be releasing a Thursday upload as no time available to edit. Sorry 😞 from Vickie & Chris
The thing is, you've no idea what their family went through in the war. It could have proper messed them up mentally. I might have done anything to keep my kids from the same horror. I'm not talking about killing him, but if they brought back conscription, I'd do anything to hide my son and stop him getting drafted up. At the risk to my own life and or freedom.
They we're like a little doomsday cult.
Yep agree with this 👍
I agree with viki,id always stand in front of my kids to protect them, it was selfish of him,even though he had mental problems,,media is to blame,thankyou for telling this difficult story, look forward to your next one ❤️
Thanks Carol, hope your well
This is such a sad story. It made me cry. The parents must have been mentally unbalanced at the time they committed the murder of their babies. They both would have gone through the horror’s of WW2. And, like you said, the media doing the best to scare everyone even to this day. Sometimes you just cannot escape what’s in your head. It’s a hard one!! I do not agree with what they did. Like Vickie said, you protect your babies to the end. Perhaps this was their way of doing this. As always you both told a very sad story in a sensitive way as you do all your videos. So love watching them. Thank you both. ❤
Thanks Jean for watching.
What ever you got to face, you face it together - you don't kill them. None of that ever happened and these kids were robbed of their lives.
💯
I agree with what Vicki said x
Thanks Louise. Not seen you for a while, hope you are doing well 👍
I think that the views of the judge and Vicky work together to help combine the law and compassion to help us come to our own views on these events…..events which thankfully most of us will never have to experience within our own families.
One may wonder what the experiences of the parents were during the course of the then comparatively recent WW2. And if these experiences had played a part in cognitive development of the parents.
💯
I am OK Thanks, just getting over stomach bug and it really knocked me for six, and too top it all I was I'll on my 48th birthday (16th). Thanks for asking! Hope you are both OK? ❤ Lou x
Aww sorry to hear that, but glad coming out the other side of it now. Happy Belated birthday 🎂 🎉❤
@@Daysofhorror-vickie Thanks Sweetie xxx
Very sad story and not unique. In 1997 in the USA, known as the Heavens Gate cult, 39 committed suicide. These awful events do happen. But I feel in this case both parents were like minded. They must of thought what they were doing was right. Well presented and respectively done. RIP to the five family members ❤
Yes, agree husband and wife were like minded as otherwise this would not have happened. But I still cannot personly grasp it.
We have seen other stories about this, but as this close to home we wanted to cover this one to visit the area and graveyard and talk about fear that is still being forced upon us today. Look a C recently and with the ears being fought. It's a scary world 🌎
Hi.. There guys poor young kids such a sad story about
The young kids . Wont was he finding why would you take the lives father is not right in the head guys. and nice to be find that three young kids
We're murder in that flat I could not live in it after some
One be murder it would be very spooky room guys . and thank you for your great video work again you guys do a great job with your story telling
So be safe guys.
This is such a sad story yes it is murder but fear at the same time I don't think they were thinking straight but media ruins everything and frightens you
It's a crazy story the more you get into it. And we have even spoken about the couple and how they entered the sea together. Did they walk into the water, or as someone else mentioned, did they jump from the Pier? Either way, it's bizarre what they did. Why didn't they just lie with their children and all go together. But ultimately, it's the children we feel sorry for.
💯
Oh wow!! An absolutely tragic and terribly sad event. I'm not at all surprised that the parents did this, though I agree that it's almost impossible to believe that they could, and like Vickie said, I'd have expected the family to have all gone together, perhaps huddled in the same bed, as the cruel aspect of it is how the children were left by themselves to draw their final breaths.
I do believe they did it from love, but I'm so sorry that they didn't choose to open up to a 3rd party about their fears for the world and so for their children's futures so that they might've been persuaded not to go ahead with their plan.
It's a story so of it's time, the H bomb, the creation of CND and supporters of that organisation. I remember being terrified by the thoughts of a possible nuclear war back in 1981 after watching a talk by a CND supporter at Burnley library that year. The 4 minute warning we were told we'd get, then that would be the end of civilization as we knew it, and who could judge when it would be safe to go outside again? That terribly sad animated film, When The Wind Blows which still breaks my heart now. Yes I can see how some people would be so afraid of a repeat of the atrocities of WWII, but fear even more the spectre of the Mushroom Cloud of the nuclear war. This makes me feel like crying 😢😢😢
Thanks Michele for watching and sharing this comment with us all.
So sad 😢❤
😢
OMG what a terribly sad story. If they did it out of love for the children, then why didn't they all lay down in the bed together and go as a family? why kill the kids first? They may have been scared of the threat of another war, but as Vickie said, you huddle together to keep your kids safe! I've always told my kids I would do time for them, I'm their mother and no matter what, I would protect them, if my husband was hell bent on gassing my kids then he'd have to gas me first, cos over my dead body would I allow it. I know it's a different era, but she could've done more. 💔
Great Video Chris and Vickie, as always. I honestly do not beleive that anyone can ever get in to the mind as to why people did or do something, however horrific. However, with many worries within my mind as to how history will progress I can understand the deep love that could think it much better to get out of all the pain and sorrow that someone feels is coming. Yes it's irrational to a certain extent, yes it's selfish and yes it's callous. But the saying is that if you love someone, or something, enough then you have to let them go. The children WERE loved and looked after. But the Parents thoughts were Obsessional and obsession is a very dangerous path to take. But it creeps on over time, it is not something that happens overnight. It eats people away, that any rational thoughts and behaviour becomes impossible to comprehend. I honestly DO KNOW this as I have suffered from Severe OCD, Anxiety and Depression for nearly all of my life. Not by hurting others but to hurting myself. Anyone can get in to the mindset of believing something is right, however cruel or callous it may be. It's wrong, it's awful, but it does happen. Thousands of years of history, right up to the present day, has proved it. I beleive that the Parents honestly believed that they would all be together for eternity and at peace, safe from all the wrong doings of a terrible World.
@davidburton-richardson5092 Omg David, thanks for sharing this with us and giving us a new way of looking at it, but for me as a mother I cannot grasp it, but I can see what you are saying here. ❤
Yes Jen, I would do time for my children. I just cannot grasp this 😊
@@Daysofhorror-vickie Hi Vickie, yes it is an awful thing to be able to grasp and understand. Truly horrific. But a Human Brain can get so distorted as to what is right or wrong and can commit the most haenous things in order to implement it. I cannot comprehend hurting anything, for whatever reason, but I think that when we are truly pushed in to believing something logic just flies out of the window. It's proven throughout History. Religion, Cults, Political views etc etc. The list just goes on and on. I truly love your Videos, you give me a sense of normality in such a mad World. David x
I will never understand why the parents didn't go to sleep with the children in the house.
💯
I am a mother and grandmother. I'm sorry but I think they were very selfish. What I wonder she was a nurse at the hospital how on earth she could care for her patients knowing what was going on at home. It's so sad and heart breaking yes Vicki was so right when she said about the media
Thanks Jeanette for commenting and watching. Heart breaking isn't it! 😢
@@Daysofhorror-vickie yes it is absolutely heartbreaking being a mother and a grandmother is an absolute privilege those poor poor children 😢
💯
Absolutely heartbreaking, still trying to understand the why's 😢, I wander if they had lost family in the last war ?? Did the government keep announcing the threat of a nuclear war ??? So sad when you think this is the only way out and parents took this path 😢
😢😢😢😢
Bit of a difficult watch . Feel sorry for all concerned .including the parents . Nobody who is in the right state of mind would do what they did to their children .
I know but for both parents to be in on it, that is cannot grasp. It was difficult but that's why we need to retell stories like this and keep them in the public domain. These children especially Should not be forgotten
Do you think he was mentally disturbed and had a large influence on his wife.
My wife Diane agrees with Vicky, a mother would never hurt your children.
Why didn't they get in the room with the children, the way they killed them selves shows he must disturbed.
Very sad story well told.
I really do not know Keith. Can a husband influence a wife to hurt her own children. All three?? Or were they just like minded? I wish we knew, but 💯 Diane, you protect your child from once conceived until you die ,no matter their age. You protect your children ❤
Unfortunately there are many many instances of mothers hurting and killing their children.
Very sad. Marshall definitely had mental health issues, fuelled by what was in the media. Having lived through WW2, we don't know how he was affected by this. His wife was possibly manipulated into his train of thought. But to leave the children while being at work was completely wrong. If this is what they both wanted, they should have passed together with the children 😢
100%. Then I would say it was done possible out of love all going together, but not the way they did it 😢
Blame the media .the Newspapers .spreading lies .
I do!
💯
I do tend to agree with what as been said , and it was wrong but ask yourself this, if back then they did dropp the bomb would you then kill your children.
I think anyone has the right to take their own lives, but to take the lives of the kids is inexcusable. I also can't understand why, if they were going to kill themselves and the kids, why didn't they die in the same spot as the kids. Tragic story. Not an act of mercy imo, if it was that bad wouldn't you wait until disaster was imminent, or occuring. Fcking lunatics.
Love this, and agree 💯
Hello chris and vickie absolutely fantastic video tho really sad. I'm swinging both ways like vickie said as a mother you never do anything to harm your children. I blame the press and the father may possibly have had mental health issues as you don't kill your children I think I shall have to watch again to process my thoughts x
Thanks Emma. Hope your doing well 😊
@@Daysofhorror-vickie my auntie is 73 years of age she doesn't know how to connect to the Internet but she called me to say and ask me to say her message) chris and vickie I was but a girl in the 50s I was scared and frightened but never did my mum or dad was going to kill us

I don't understand why the parents didn't lay down with the children and go with them
Nope, I do not either 😢
HI Chris and Victoria . love you both . this story makes me feel sad and angry . because its happened here to .. a man killed his three children and wife too . and he was a business mand who had retired early and tried to start some new business and if failed . he killed his three young children and wife voilently . wont say how but killed them althe same . my opinion is it was and is a selfish act of what he wanted and with no other consideration other that what his depraved mind and selfish demenior accrued to . he the man in this case was found to have built up large debts and eventhough he was a cheerie and outgoing kind of person .. he was a killer and a depraved killer . so no . i have no symtathy fo rthe man in either case . depraved selfish . headbangers both . ..ps .i like the gestur yo an Vickie did the flowers and stuff but i thind the graves shuld be marked by local council . simple makking simple stone. marking . the shame the town felt then is long passed and the children anc wife shuldent have to bare guilt . still . pray for them . love mike

It selfish. If they loved those children they would have laid down on the bed with their babies.
You would ❤
She may have been apeasing her husband .Although she did work at a mental heath hospital so surley she should have said something to someone. It was my opion not an acked of love on her children part .maybe she put herself and husband first and formost first .(my siser in lsw had m.h prolems had on the 18 of this month passed away .😭
Aww I'm sorry Jane to hear of your loss.. sending sincere hugs 💔💔💔💔
another sad video for you portfolio which is getting vast the story well I have said before a woman spends time carrying a baby then brings them into the world but when do you get the idea that it’s time for them to go you go but leave them to grow up love the female species I grew up a place not far from Langho in the orphanage I had the time of my life I spent ten years there perhaps the girls could have been sent there to live there lives instead of what happens let’s not talk about love when you kill children girls were put on this earth to stop man from going mad ❤

@@Daysofhorror-vickie surprised not to get a comment from Vickie by that you never know whether you are right or wrong never mind happydays with the channel
@RoyNichols-tv6nf Roy, we try to reply to all comments but some videos do much better than others and after a while, there are so many it's just the case where we read them all, but sometimes it's hard to.keep replying knowing what to say. Vickie put a sad emoji to your reply last night,that's because it was read but it's knowing what to say.
I put a sad face as even though you had time of your life, you grew up in an orphanage and I didn't know really how to respond.
@@Daysofhorror-vickie that’s fine you have such a lot to do what I said about the orphanage was real it save my life was on my own from 8year old never saw my family again till I was 50 thanks again Vickie
Great video covered respectfully as always. Personally I don't know of any excuse that would wash as to why this happened. You're supposed to love and nurture your kids, not unalive them.
💯 Jane 😢
@Daysofhorror-vickie a few years ago, I made some poor choices and ended up serving a four month sentence at a well known women's prison here in the North West. Prisoners are not separated by seriousness of offence, you are a prisoner, end of.
Whilst there I was put to work in the education department where I had to help a fellow inmate whose first language was not English. They didn't need to tell me her name, she was instantly recognisable as the woman who (along with her husband) had k!lled and thrn disposed of their daughter in a so called "honour" killing because she wouldn't accept a forced marriage. It was all over the news at the time.
I remember looking at this tiny, inoffensive looking mouse of a woman and wondered how she could do something so vile to someone she had brought into this world. And I had to look at her for six hours a day, five days a week for four months.
There is NEVER any excuse. Not mental health, nothing.
May all the victims of such crime RIP x
