Your local killers.

Your local killers.
Who are the most famous serial killers in your local area? 
 I'm asking the question giving room for maneuver on the technicalities of what it is to be a serial killer.  I mean they don't even really have to have killed anyone I suppose, just gruesome enough crimes that they're well known. 

Around my area I think the most infamous are the moors murderers.  I don't know how infamous they actually are outside of England maybe you can tell me.

If you don't know who they were, it was a couple, Myra Hindley and Ian Brady.  They killed children and buried them on the moors in the 1960s.

They both lived near where I work, one of the older people I work with met Myra a few times from delivering things to the office she worked at.
Where they buried the bodies is the area where I go cycling, but around a mile away.

I just got thinking about this today when I went cycling and I went deeper into the moors than usual and the deadly silence of the place and the lack of people around gives the place an eerie atmosphere.
Plus I just found out today that a man killed himself on the path which I posted a picture of on here of my bike ride route.  He actually traveled from Pakistan, went to this part of the countryside, poisoned himself with strychnine and lay there dead on that exact pathway.  I can't even imagine how it would be to be on my own and find a dead body up there which someone must have done.
It just got me thinking about the crazy murders and deaths that can happen on your doorstep.  

Harold Shipman is another one who is fairly local to me, within a few miles.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
