Sawney Bean and his Cannibalistic Family
The infamous story of Sawney Bean and his Cannabilistic Family is a ghoulish story of a remote family living on the outskirts of Galloway, Scotland. Their estimated 25 year reign of terror had a severe impact on that area of the country. King James VI himself became involved in their eventual capture. Their estimated killings counted over 1000.
A fascinating tale.

I’ve become much interested into this case, thank you for the video!

Thank you - glad you liked. It had a real impact on that part of the country's economy for decades. Thank you for your kind comment and support!🤗

Always found this story fascinating. Mainly because I'm not quite sure that it is true.
The tale is just too fantastical. The Beans didn't make a mistake once in 25 years? The larger the group, the bigger the chance of mistakes. So... 🤔🤔🤔

The story comes from The Newgate Calendar which did like to add interest. We are not really able to corroborate much past the Newgate Calendar for 17th century tales. I know it is brought up in tours to see the crown jewels now. Ah well. It makes for a great story. 🙄
