The Horrific Crimes of the Acid Bath Killer…
When police searched the workshop of John Haigh in the spring of 1949, they weren’t sure what they would find. A gambler with a lengthy criminal history – including charges of theft and fraud -, many saw Haigh as a conman, but nobody saw him as a killer. Still, his warehouse contained all sorts of incriminating evidence; from human remains to paperwork connecting him to a string of victims. Haigh was promptly arrested for his heinous crimes which earned him the name ‘the Acid Bath Killer’.
But who exactly was John Haigh? And what led him to commit these horrendous acts of violence? In today’s video we aim to shed light on these questions and more, as we explore the life and crimes of John Haigh.

Here are some interesting serial killers that I think would make great videos
Joseph D’Angelo (the Golden State killer)BTK,Gary Arthur Bishop,Albert Fish,William Bonnin, Randy Kraft,Richard speck ,Timothy Wilson Spencer,Gary Ridgeway , Wesley Allen Dodd,Joseph Duncan
I watched a drama about Jon Haigh starring Martin Clunes and it was shocking what he did to his victims, dissolving their bodies in acid then tipping the flesh down the drains. He was one sick man 🤢
You guys should really do a murderous minds on Ivan Milat – the backpacker killer from Australia
Lincolnshire is home to me. Strange when is close to home 🏠
There Are Some Cases That Would Make Some Great Videos On Your Channel Once You Have The Time. Albert DeSalvo, Herbert Mullin, Richard Chase, Gerald & Charlene Gallego, Angelo Buono & Kenneth Bianchi, Robert Berdella, Dean Corll, Danny Rolling, David Berkowitz, Henry Lee Lucas, Ottis Toole, Arthur Shawcross, John Christie, Dennis Nilsen, & Jack Unterweger
a weird fact is my nan and great grandma lived on ifield road in crawley at the time of the last few murders, they lived right at the top of the T-junction where it meets leopold road, before it got redeveloped to how it is now they coud both see the workshop from their home.
my Nan wasn't even in double digits at the time, but over the years, our family has always wonder if my Great Grandma saw anything. she died with a good few secrets weve slowly uncovered, so her, at the very least seeing Haigh shifting barrels into the workshop could have been something she witnessed
Sounds like my opponent didn't get the hint 😕 if a glass is a glass it should be what you see… So love thy nail or something…
That's my sad Antichrist 😢 now I kinda feel bad
My grandad ended up working in the excat building after all of this. It’s crazy it happened literally in my own backyard
