The deadliest woman of all time? | Giulia Tofana the killer witch of Italy

When most people think of serial killers and perhaps the most prolific of them all, a woman's name isn't the first to spring to mind.The act of murder is not solely exclusive to just men but…it’s statistically proven that serial killers are more likely to be male.However, what if I told you it may just be possible that the most prolific serial killer in history was an Italian woman who over a period of almost 20 years racked up around 600 victims. Today on Macabre Mini Mysteries, we uncover the story of Giulia Tofana, the make-up murderess.------------------------Video: https://youtu.be/F23Xbr0JqRwPodcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350Macabre London is a fortnightly podcast and YouTube show that delves into London's haunted and gruesome history alongside discovering Macabre mini Mysteries from all over the world!Be sure to check out my other podcast, Killers, Cults & Queens with Cheryl Hole https://podfollow.com/queens---------------------------MERCH! - https://macabrelondon-shop.fourthwall.comPATREON - www.patreon.com/macabrelondon——————————-Thank you to our executive producer patrons - Amy, Christina, Christophe, Jess, Karen, Kate, Kevin, Mary, Rose, Sally, Sam, Sarah, Teresa, Terri, Vee & VeronicaAnd to all of our wonderful £5 tier patrons...AmyAndreaAndrewClaireDavidDeniseHelenIngeJenniferJoKathrynKimberleyKimLeahRachelRkrimblesSSabrinaShannonAnd thanks to all other patrons too!SUPPORT ME————————ONE OFF DONATIONS: Paypal - paypal.me/macabrelondonKO-FI: ko-fi.com/macabrelondonPATREON: www.patreon.com/macabrelondonAMAZON WISHLIST - http://amzn.eu/dJxEf1V​​​​​​————————SOCIAL MEDIA---------------------------------------------Insta: @nikkimacabrelondonTwitter: @macabrelondonFacebook: @macabrelondonEmail: [email protected]: www.macabrelondon.comSources-------------https://www.ancient-origins.net/history-famous-people/giulia-tofana-0014131https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/giulia-tofana-the-italian-serial-poisoner-who-became-a-legend#:~:text=Her%20mother%20was%20the%20infamous,brewing%20all%20kinds%20of%20tinctures.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Shipmanhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkQtu96SHHIhttps://judymillar.medium.com/the-woman-whose-cosmetics-poisoned-over-600-unwanted-husbands-f14456cd8dfa Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
