This story close to my heart as it's the very first I looked into when starting Days of Horror. Young Emily should never have had to suffer the way she did. We always visit her grave in Blackburn Cemetery everytime we visit and spend 10 or 15 minutes there in passing.
Thank God for Morgan! People sometimes underestimate the power of a dogs nose. It takes a special kind of evil for anyone to hurt a child! Thank you for telling her story!
Thanks Jules. One story we feel close to with it being one of the first we came across when researching local stories. It was so brutal and simply avoidable but we can never understand what goes through people's minds leading up to attacks, especially on children.
Omg such an horrific murder at the hands of a monster . Thank you for sharing these true crimes with us , you do keep our attention with your presentation.
This was one of the first stories we came across when starting out with our days of horror website. Its kinda close to our hearts now, and we always visit young Emily's grave when we go to that cemetery. It's also a story we are going to retell as we have more information now than we did back when we made this video. Also, we have a new location to visit which we weren't sure about last time around so hopefully a better video on this story will be made this year.
I've just watched it back, and my god, it's cringy. I remember the day we filmed and I wasn't confident at all with the camera. Rushing my words, I had a different microphone and it sounds horrendous now, it was windy in parts. The music I used is also not what I'd use now. Yep, definately going to redo this story but make it much better and coherent.
It just shows that there have been very sick individuals down through the ages. God bless this wee darling for what she went through was horrendous. Back in those days i think it would have been harder to watch predators.
My old man lived on Daisy street in the 50/60 . The posts at the end of the cinder path were not there so the murderer couldn’t have touched them . The world was a completely different place with less people and close communities spirit all around . Unlike today . Great channel , keep up the good work !
The posts just looked old and it was just an eerie thought that perhaps he may have placed a hand on them whilst walking past 😮 But it's one of the first stories we looked into right at the very beginning and still sticks with myself now. We always visit Emily's grave in the old Cemetery when we do other stories over there.
@@DaysofHorror Thanks for that . When you state , the old Cemetary , do you mean the one on Whaley new Road or the old ground at Pleasington Cemetery.Thanks in advance mate
@gingerali it's the Whalley road one. Her grave is : enter the cemetery, walk up to the war memorial directly in front. Turn left and then up towards tip of that lane/road. Her grave is on the left and cleaned up. Usually with a teddy bear of sorts. Can't miss it 👍
Loving the channel. Better local history than any mainstream offerings who never understand our culture and quite frankly never liked us. I wouldn't mind you doing some further into the West Ridings closer to me, if you run out of horrific stories to cover over there lol
Much appreciated Grotty :-) We would love to travel as further as we can, money is always the issue at the moment though. But we have plans for the rest of this year and definately into next year to keep pushing ourselves a little further away from where we live.
I was a young boy living on Birley st, back in 1965,I also went to St Alban's school, and the story of that poor little girl was known to many people even all those years later, The infamous barber on moss st was the stand out horror fact ,and the chimney being used for hiding parts of her body. The Story is of such horror, that it seems almost unimaginable. Thanks for highlighting this most infamous murder.
Hi Rob, many thanks for commenting 👍 This is one of the very first stories we came across at the very beginning of Days of Horror, and one that still disturbs us both today. It was horrific and what people must have gone through, family, friends, neighbours during that period must have been frightening, saddening, horrific and a lot more. Its also a story we have since found more information on with regards to covering it again but in more detail. The amount of stories we have also uncovered regarding children and how they were treated back in the 1800s is unbelievable!
@@DaysofHorror Appreciate your time and comment ! Yes it was horrific, and one that blights the town in many ways, much like the later atrocity in 1948, Both committed by offenders from the same area of town, Yes, you are so right,Children back then were often poor, vulnerable, and most of all victims.Thanks again !
It just goes to show nothing changes. Evil is still around. Thanks for reminding us of these people who have suffered and which would have been forgotten if not for your and Vicky. Where are you from, your accent is so familiar. I live in Bury Lancashire :)
Hi there guys i no this was 3years ago you guys done this video and you can the boys and lady coming a cross of the young girl half of her body you never get used of death a specially when why been murder and i was a volunteer rescue squad member for 20years N.S.W RESCUE ASSOCIATION its bad Of when you got to go to cars crashed mate . Great job guys very good video work guys
What a heartbreaking story 😢 my goodness what that poor child must have gone through. We'll it's good that Justice was done. Poor child she was so trusting, probably didn't see any evil in this man. R.I.P. Emily 🙏🙏🙏
I can still remember all the houses that was in the community in the 60s. Around that area and the farm my freind lived up there. OK sort walk but all up hill through the steep streets couldn't have been that easy to move the torso up there from the murder scene.
Absolutley horrific case this one. What possess anyone to do what William Fish did is beyond comprehension. He may have felt remorse towards the end, but what goes on in someone's head prior and during committing such acts?
Yes you are right,we have still got a lot to cover in blackburn and Darwen area. We also want to go back and redo this story as since more things have come alight. Thanks for your support Lynne, from Vickie & Chris
Hmm. As you were reading his confession, I thought 'he's done that before'. I don't think Emily was his first victim. It's just that he caught this time.
Horrendous story James. It's one of the first I came across when we started Days of Horror and looking into the old stories from in and around where we live. It's also one we will definately be revisiting as we have come across more information since we uploaded that video. Thanks for watching 😃
That's correct. That's a story I'm going to be covering shortly 😃 Thanks for watching and I do appreciate recommendations and ideas for future videos and podcasts 👍
It must have been quite horrific to come across the dismembered body of little Emily, how very sad. I wouldn’t like to be him now suffering torment of what he did.
It's awful, isn't it. On a personal level, I honestly do not know why this story of poor Emily is one I take to heart the most, out of all the videos we have done. We have covered similar stories, but this one just hits home more. We will be putting together a new video on this story, so hopefully, it will be far better than the original one.
@@DaysofHorror I can understand why, she was a delightful little girl who had a very kind heart and it is almost unbearable to think of what she suffered at the hands of that monster. I believe he is suffering the torment of hell and Emily is safe now in the arms of Jesus Christ.
You are absolutely correct with the Fanny Adams comparisons. That's a story we have pencilled in, and we have looked at where to stay overnight, so we are hoping to cover that story soon. But yes, that's a story that is perhaps even more shocking than Emily Holland.
I have! And that's on my to do/visit list 👍 I've a huge list of stories and places to check out so please keep popping back 😃 and thanks also for recommending this story.
@@DaysofHorror checkout UA-cam video Bradford tram,they is an 8 minute upload that goes on Manningham lane in bradford,the title picture is not fare from where John Gills body was found the big building in front on the left is bell view school I think I think it's opposite not far away,OXO poster is on your right side but the film skips here,good look mate all the best.
@@bobbrown7378 I'll definately check that out tonight 👍 Anything that helps put a new story together for me and I'm more than willing to take a look so thanks for this.
Thanks for commenting Mark. It's a sad sad story and one I'm going to redo this year as, looking back on the video, it was all new to me and I wasnt comfortable in front of the camera. Plus we have more info to add now.
No I havent heard of that! I'll do a little bit of digging and see what I can find, but many thanks for sharing this. Sounds like an interesting story to cover :-)
It's absolutely disgusting what human beings are capable of, 😢 thanks for bringing this story to us, and I hope you and Vicky are well.

What a horrible thing to do to a little girl I hope she rests in peace 🙏 thank you for telling her story in your usual respectful way. 👏👏👍
Thanks Jules. One story we feel close to with it being one of the first we came across when researching local stories. It was so brutal and simply avoidable but we can never understand what goes through people's minds leading up to attacks, especially on children.

RIP little Emily. So sorry your good deed to run an errand resulted in your end. Cowardly men, do cowardly and heinous deeds while hiding.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ R.I.P
Rip 🙏
Imagine the parents horror knowing they couldn't even see her face again after being burned! Filth walks among us!

I currently reside in Bastwell. Such a sad story and I never knew about this
Absolutley horrific case this one. What possess anyone to do what William Fish did is beyond comprehension. He may have felt remorse towards the end, but what goes on in someone's head prior and during committing such acts?
Daisyfield flats had some sessions on that estate.
😂
I live in Blackburn but I've never heard of this sad case, there's been more murders than I realise in Blackburn and surrounding area.
Yes you are right,we have still got a lot to cover in blackburn and Darwen area. We also want to go back and redo this story as since more things have come alight. Thanks for your support Lynne, from Vickie & Chris

Omg what an evil man😢
June Anne devany is in the same cemetery I think.
the man who killed her lived on berley st also
That's correct. That's a story I'm going to be covering shortly 😃 Thanks for watching and I do appreciate recommendations and ideas for future videos and podcasts 👍
@@DaysofHorror will look forward to watching that one. and others you are doing in the future.
I've just been listening to the same story of a little girl kidnapped from Queen's Park Hospital, so sad
That would be June Ann Devaney. I visited her grave not too long ago if you are interested in watching that?
