## Resource

The only unsolved tale of this Horrors Over The Holidays season I have curated drops here with a tale of tragedy, cruelty, and an account of a truly horrific ordeal from Christmas 1995 where we meet a 'gentle giant' named Alan Holmes. His tale, I'm sure, you'll never forget. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.  Music used in this episode: "The Descent" by Kevin Macleod.
