Known across 17th-century England for his shockingly bad aim, Ketch didn’t just take lives—he botched them, turning executions into slow, horrifying spectacles that crowds couldn’t look away from. From nobles begging for mercy to audiences watching in disbelief, this is the story of the man who became infamous not for killing… but for how badly he did it. Because nothing says “career failure” like needing multiple swings of an axe.Hey hey, my fellow weirdos… welcome to Loreplay. 🖤This is the podcast where history gets messy, folklore gets questionable, and I willingly spiral so you don’t have to. I’m your host, Dayna Pereira—your resident investigator of all things creepy, cursed, and deeply side-eye worthy.Each week, we dig into the stories that make you go “wait… what the hell actually happened?”—from haunted places and urban legends to true crime and historical chaos. We separate fact from fiction… and then stare directly into the uncomfortable space in between.📲 Come hang out with me outside the void: Instagram and TikTok: @loreplaypod Website: https://loreplaypod.comPrefer to Watch 👀 Find us on YouTube here:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP49XVyr_raHi3VVxXr91_w👀 GOT A STORY?
