Get DirectionsWhy It's a "Must-Go"
Ian Brady, the Moors Murderer, wanted a special send-off with music and fanfare. Instead, the authorities packed his ashes into a weighted urn and dumped them in the Irish Sea in the middle of the night. No ceremony, no flowers, just a splash.
It's the ultimate "flushing." He is now part of the seabed sludge, where he belongs. If you're taking a ferry across the Irish Sea, feel free to spit over the rail.
The "Experience"
Cold, wet, and deep. It's a vast, indifferent grave for a man who craved attention. The ocean doesn't care about your ego, Ian.
Why This Listing Exists
Ian Brady, along with his accomplice Myra Hindley, committed the "Moors Murders" between 1963 and 1965 in and around Manchester, England. They sexually assaulted and murdered five children aged 10 to 17.
The couple buried four of their victims on Saddleworth Moor. The body of one victim, Keith Bennett, has never been found, despite repeated pleas from his family. Brady taunted the families for decades, refusing to reveal the location of the remains.
Brady was diagnosed as a psychopath and spent decades in high-security psychiatric hospitals. He died in 2017 at Ashworth Hospital.
To prevent his grave from becoming a shrine or a target for vandalism, a judge ordered that his body be disposed of without ceremony. His ashes were scattered at sea under cover of darkness, ensuring he would have no resting place on the land he defiled.
