Actors were brilliant especially the man playing the serial killer!!!👏🏻 Love this documentary
The man playing the serial kille is Kieran Gough.
How gruesome 😩
I accidentally started watching this episode, and now I'm hooked on this series!
I really hope no one is taking “notes” 😱

Craig was quoted a Latin term from a law book by another prisoner while in prison: Corpus delicti. Which means, body of the crime. Craig took it to literally mean, no body, no crime. However, he was very fatally wrong.
I think John had been positively itching to brag about what he'd done, and although this was incredibly useful from the point of view of the investigators, the fact that he also must have been really getting off on telling his story must have added to the horror of it.
As is the case with the dark triads
Guy's a real genius, his chemistry skills failed him and then he goes and confess to more murder.
I know right! If you knew chemistry you would go for the Bases. Its earlier to get in large amounts and eats away at skin and bones way faster.

I love documentaries that include reenactments, it really helps me understand the story better.
The face on the actor when he said "I took it from his house" (just giggled at it I'm sorry, I know this is a very serious, but I couldn't help it) and the way he portrays this killer is fantastic!
Ok
Dont be sorry. Its not serious.
You think that is bad, I was hoping that, while describing the difference in times of disposing the bodies, the killer would have turned to the great big detective and said something like, "Someone like you would have taken an extra week and a really big barrel."
Time stamp 31:13
I squirted too 😒
I love this series so much. Perfect narration, great acting. 💕
What is even more important is the amount of information giving in the series. I have seen this crime before but only knew that he had killed other people, but without any information about the crimes.
This actor deserves a raise. He really nails a psychopath character.
Nobody care only 24 goofy
Maybe he is one 🧐
@@tenzindrake6165 that made no sense, you lazy thug 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤡
@@tenzindrake6165 are you one??
Yeah he does
How can anyone be so cruel to others I just can’t imagine.
Easily if they like to do this stuff
He’s was a nutter, a psycho.
He's wasn't cruel, he was a kind man. Didn't you listen to what he said?
Like Gary Ray Bowles said, "It's not hard to kill someone if you got the mindset for it."
Psychopathic, narcissistic, mental disorders .
I can't be the only one who loves the narrator's voice, it just fits so well. And the actor playing John is amazing, looked just as good too
I’m amazed at the video footage found at the crime scenes and the police interrogation video footage from the 1940’s! It’s incredible!!
That is truly horrifying and wow this video is SOO well made. Perfect way to end the year.
Hell yeah! This is exactly what I'm doing for the end of the year! Cheers 🍻 🥂
@@mattjack3983 right, happy new year! (:
@@truecrimemore205 I'm right there with you guys.
I totally agree!
Perfect way to end the year by watching horrific crime
The fact that his family went to a 'church' that taught them they were better than anyone else tells me all I need to know about how he turned out like this.
Exactly! Sounds less like a "church" and more like a religious outpatient clinic.
Sounds like basic Christianity to me.
I swear I thought they were going to start his back story with once upon a time not long ago, because I was so ready after it's an incredibly long story.
😂 😂 😂
There's a lesson here for all of us. We should always allow plenty of time for our victims to soak in acid because some things take a while to dissolve like ankle bones and gallstones. The best result is achieved by keeping them in a barrel and turning it over everyday for a week. If you get a barrel with a tap you can simply connect a garden hose and drain off the sludge without heavy lifting involved. You don't wan to pull a muscle in your back....
And having a drain to pour it down
@@jennifermoriarty2188 you need a special drain for acid. Chem labs have a separate plumbing system with glass or glass coated pipes, acid will eat a drain,
To much work
@@chrisbrackney3801 he didn't use a specific drain..i doubt when murdering environmental regulations are important 😉
@@jennifermoriarty2188 well, he fucxd up, you can't put acids down the drain, just like bunch of human flesh'ums
True crime is my thing, and there's no show like murder maps...it's the BEST
Haigh was totally immoral and no doubt would have continued his killing ways to feed his lust for money.
This “Murder Maps” series is very well done. Tfs.
Man....that actor playing Hague is gooooood.
More crazy psychopath stories please!
😂😂
😂👍
These presentations are so Thoughtfully Constructed and Beautifully Rendered in keeping with the situation; all Presenters and Experts are Fantastic- just recently discovered and have Certainly Subscribed but BE WARNED- One must view these with ample time and without distraction to fully experience how Exquisite they are. THANK YOU.
What rules do you apply to start words with a capital letter ?
@@juliusraben3526 There’s always Someone who has to comment Something Idiotic about another’s Words isn’t there then? OBVIOUSLY, I Capitalised Words I wanted to Emphasise. Comment on those who can’t string two words together Intelligently or whose grammar is Abominable- There’s Enough of Them. Boring… YAWN.
@@arlynpage7491 no need for wrong words. I was just curious since i couldnt find any logic in how you used them.
"I use capital letters for words i want to emphesise" was enough.
But what did you meant with the last part. You said something about stringing words together or whode grammar is abominale. But ironically, i couldnt make sense of it....
@@juliusraben3526Straightaway, I apologise if I was harsh but it seems obvious that those words warranted emphasis.
If you’re going to quote someone you MUST be entirely accurate in your quote and you were not.
Your spelling (emphasis, abominable, etc. is WAY off- sorry.)
What I meant by the last part (because I took your comment as an insult 😮) was that there are SO MANY comments written poorly, misspelled, bad grammar, etc. whilst mine was polite, well constructed and complimentary. You see? 🧐.
Well Wishes- Have a Great Day 🌟❗️
P.S. Looking at my initial offering i realise that “ample time” and “without distraction” should’ve also had their first letters capitalised 😮🤭😂❗️
@@arlynpage7491 1) i made a quote of what would be enough, didnt quote you
2) to miswrite 1 letter is WAAAY off ? I thought you would write Waaay off (you know, one letter capital for emphasis)
What turd can you be to go from "im a grammar nazi victim" to "im a gramma nazi SS elite force" in one message is beyond me.
Do hamunity (i did you a fav0r by writing it wrong on purpose) a favour and dont reproduce. Eugenetics may be bad, but in your case..... exceptions be be exceptions
Better acting in this than any Hollywood production. The British can act.
This actor playing the killer is great
What amazing actors 10/10; this was one scary serial killer
This was so well put together, I'm actually convinced the actor playing the serial killer is not playing a character anymore, he's another nutter!
😄
Convicted in July. Hanging from the gallows in August. They didn't wait around on Death Row in those days!
In Britain unless there was appeals(in which case it was no longer than a year or two), hangings wwre carried out three Sundays from sentencing
Really well done presentation. Good job
The title had me believing that he killed people by throwing them in acid. That would be Saw levels of gruesome.
"Well, that would've been unfortunate." :D :D I love the acting in this series.
This production and narration was AMAZING.
Getting rid of the body shows he knew it was wrong.
Perfect way to start the year.

Happy new year lad
We're right behind you bro!
Happy New Year! From St Louis, MO, USA
CHEERS! 🍻 🥂 🍻 🥂
This guy was proud of the horrible things he had done and really thought he was special. So much smarter and braver and such...yuck. he had no friends, just marks. He also seems to think that just because he didnt terrorize or torture or torment his victims, he is not a monster..
Really well done and the actor playing John Hague is brilliant
I remember first seeing this on Netflix and this guy gave me the chills. The acting for this was amazing.
Oh yeah on Netflix? What's the name?
@@HruVision I believe it was called Murder Maps
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
Chilling story, brilliantly reenacted. Cheers!
This series has the best acting of all true crime shows
One of the best crime stories I have ever heard!
What a way to spend the last day of the year!
This comment got me dying 😂
Agreed!
@@trainwreck3587 Well, I wasn't lying 😂
It didn't start pretty why end it that..🤷🏾
7 days into the new year and I'm here🤷♀️😂
Why am I so addicted to murder stories 😂👿
Oh yes, we all know why😈
You like evil things
Happy New year 🎉🎉
Wow. This was really well made
If you can find it, watch ‘A is for Acid’ a movie about Haigh… absolutely brilliant ❤
Wow fantastic episode !
I'm so tired, i keep falling asleep, but i refuse to give in, i wanne watch until the end 😁 great upload, nice series!
"for centuries London was a dangerous place" my dude, it still is lol
"It was a magnet for the worst kind of people".........you've pretty much described any major city right there. Cities are the unnatural scourge of the planet.
This actor puts being arrogant across very well indeed!
Happy new year everyone
Mow to the fullness continue to keep the focus
The actors did a great job for acting all of this out! I do have to say I got really sad for the acting of Olive Durand-Deacon death for the sole reason being that the actor for her just looked really nice and sweet(in my opinion) for how they portrayed how she looked. I know this is just acting(besides the point that this was a actual case) but it still made me want to cry. :)
Amazing how these "nice old ladies" get loaded living off some dude that worked hard while she did barely anything to earn her money. They always outlive men too, because they invest less of themselves than men do, so men don't live when they are gone but they live sometimes decades after the guy passes. Rich, old women are among the cheapest people in society and most couldn't care about the "commoners" or how hard they have to work to get the garbage wages we endure today. I laughed hard when he pulled out that pistol. Score one for the Proletariat!
GREAT VIDEO ! THANKS !
Extraordinarily Compassionate Murderer to say the least 😂 !
He blew their brains out good n proper and they never saw it coming so they didn't suffer 🤪 🤣😂
He is a very kind person, who goes out of his way to help others
In his sick mind, he did them a favor 🤔
The audacity of serial killers is beyond human imagination.
My cousin thought I was watching Star Wars because of how the actor was breathing. Lmao, bro thought he was Darth Vader.
No smoke from the pistol? Now THAT'S smokeless gunpowder!🤣
Love your content!! Everyone be safe out there ❤️👑💛❤️
This guy has them crazy eyes!!!
This story is reenacted on Whitehall 1212 (LibriVox), from the POV of Scotland Yard.
I think it's also on Murder Most Foul
Excellent series. That acting is exceptionally good for a true crime show. That’s the Brits for you ❤
Honestly given the state of Asylums at that stage it is a fitting punishment for him. I enjoy the idea of him slowly and torturously loosing his memories and hopefully faculties to the all too popular electroshock therapy of the time.
"Electroshock" therapy was decently effective over its lifetime and is still in use today in the US. The more likely negative consequence for the man would've been a lobotomy (removing the connection to over 10% of the brain--now considered inhumane), whose popularity peaked in the US and UK around the time of his conviction although it was more commonly used for women.
Fascinating how awry and perverted the person can go.
Thanks for another new doc.
What a great actor. !!! TY. Very enjoyable to watch given the circumstances,,, 😎✌✝💕
I first thought he would put her in alive so honestly not as scary as I expected
It's so strange how ALL people believing themselves better/superior are always the worst among us.
No idea how I ended up here but I’m glued.
So glad I found this channel. Wonderful re-creations, and the gruesome details are kept to a minimum. I am enjoying these very much!
You're enjoying. Yea yea it's good. Where your from?
the poor old woman. and also these were great actors!
One thing I learned is that most serial killers are extremely smart.....thats what makes them dangerous. We walk past them everyday, we work with them everyday, we have probably been treated by them medical wise(doctors,nurses etc), taught by them(teachers) etc.
There are many cases of killers who have regular jobs who are able to fake a normal personality and get away with crimes. Thousands and thousands of monsters will never face jail time because many will never be caught.
Just think.....you just walked past someone that either murdered someone, raped someone, has kidnap and held some for torture at home, or are in there way to commit a mass murder🤷🏽♀️.
They seem to mostly get caught by telling on themselves purposely, or getting so upset that we can't solve the crime....they start giving clues.
how did he get that much acid legally???
He has to be one of the most cold blood killers of all time and he should've studied but really is like so many corporations top guys who will destroy people maybe not in acid but in life to the point where they loose everything and some take their own life but it's weird how one is business the other murder and you look at their personality and are the same in many ways.
Describing the family @ 7:15 and some still think southern Appalachians (circa 1878), capable of living on land with no electrical and steam power, AND running water, are dumber than this???? Sigh...
This is great. Acting is on point!
I get the impression he was unaware of the law of evidence on the existence of a body.
That's the point of the whole story. Haig misunderstood a Latin phrase "corpus delicti" used in court. He took it to mean that you were immune from prosecution for murder if the victim's body had disappeared. He was very wrong.
John George Hage really thought he could get away with murder. Silly man, you even told on yourself confessing to putting all of the victims in acid. I have watched this many times Excellent documentary very well done I love the reenactment and actual photos taken at the time.
According to investigators, both then and now, it's because he truly believed that the cops couldn't pin it on him since they had no dead body to be used as proof.
So basically, he confessed because he misunderstood what "body of proof" meant: it doesn't mean a literal dead body, it means the amount of proof use against the accused in order to convict them of a crime. And he left plenty all over his workshop and yard. So for all his brilliance, he very clearly never studied law.
I’m pretty sure the only reason why he starts blabbing is because he’s narcissistic and he wants to tell somebody… since he’s already caught from his last murder
Great actor playing the perpetrator
Murders only a misdemeanor in the uk?!?! Wtf
God weekend og godt nytår
It would be cool yet unsettling if the scenario is based on his actual interrogation
Just found this channel and while I love their dramatic telling of everything they really need to get their facts right. Dr Henderson was actually the wife she was the one with the practice not the husband.
Are you sure? I thought she was sick and he was the doctor........
@@alison4316 yeah I'm pretty sure I'm thinking about the same dude. Infographics as well as Simon Whistler that has a shitload of channels did a cover on him and I'm pretty sure they both said that she was the doctor
@@alison4316 the one that was sick was actually the friend's mother that he killed when he killed the mother and father if I'm remembering correctly. I'm pretty sure that was the acid bath.
Dr Henderson was the man, his wife was not a doctor. If you google them you can find an old newspaper photo of them both.
@@duncanbrock7303 info graphic is wrong all tge time though
So THAT’S where the inspiration for the Corroder of Clock Tower 3 came from
Best narrator…. Ever!!
Have a very Happy New Year everyone...😊😊😊 😊
Ah, I was just reading up on him. How oddly coincidental.
But look at the taper fade with the hard part.... History really just repeats itself.
Happy 2022! 🥂❤️
Brilliant performance, and I am surprised at easy it was to obtain sulfuric acid
Good show!!! Nicely made! //Lars
Being a fan of clock tower 3 yall will never know how mind blowing it was to find this video by accident
Macabre - "Acid Bath Vampire" brought me here.
35:51 that face and reaction is too good.
Haig got the idea of dissolving the bodies in acid from another man while in prison. He quoted him the Latin: Corpus delicti. Which he took to literally mean: No body, no crime. However, he was mistaken because there was his confession and signs of a dissolved body. Murders are hard to prove without a body but have been successfully tried several times. On the other hand, people have been hanged for murder only for the victim to show up alive and well,. As a result, the prosecution is reluctant to try a case without a body.
This is why DNA testing became such necessary a field of study for criminal investigation
Im 14, and im on my bed watching this,
idk why, but i enjoy watching murder documentaries
Just learn what to watch out for. That’s why I’m listening. I’m cleaning house right now. 😂
@@catherinegrace2366 literally me too 😆
Most people are intrigued by the why's and how's of criminal minds.
The bald guy is awesome 👌 👏
I’m not gonna lie. His picture in the thumb nail is sort of epic. A cliche of a horror video game villain. I think it’s that World War 1 gas mask that adds to the creepy appearance and dirty apron. Is this an actual picture of him in his gear?
Happy new year everyone!
The guy you all got to play this man could be his twin!
Great actors! 10/10
Very well done! Just one minor point of detail. In the opening sequence, the executioner puts a black hood over the condemned's head, from behind. That, I believe, is or was the American way. I GB the cap was always white, and it was placed by the executioner over the prisoner's head, when he was standing, facing them.
Safety first , PPE . Even serial killer, practice safe work.
Sorry, back to documentary 😂🤣
