True crime video isn't as true as it seems

Wednesday, 13 November 2024 14:26

A true-crime YouTube channel is asking people to speculate on the disappearance of a Manx artist more than 20 years ago - but it's missing one vital detail.

The Thrilling Mysteries 404 channel posts about serial killers and murders, and uploaded a video about a Manx case this week.

It says artist Sarah Kelway vanished from the Island in 2004 leaving behind an unfinished easel but her ghost has been spotted on the cliffs she loved to paint.

The only problem is Sarah Kelway never existed and there's no such case.
