Welcome to Pleasant Green

Matthew Heawood is a producer and Kennedy Fisher is an investigator. Together we present and produce a true crime podcast, based in London.

What is Pleasant Green?

Pleasant Green is an umbrella term, covering the discovery and partial illumination of a vast occult conspiracy that we have uncovered over the course of the past few years.

How we got here...

It all started with the disappearance of a man called Charles Dexter Ward, from a psychiatric facility in Providence, Rhode Island. Back then we had a true crime podcast, and we were always on the lookout for strange or unusual stories, so we dug into The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and it turned out that we had bitten off way more than we could chew...

Listen to The Case of Charles Dexter Ward

We got out of that one by the skin of our teeth, only to pick up the case of another disappearance, this one of a man named Henry Akeley, near the Suffolk Coast. Pretty soon, we found ourselves in uncomfortably familiar territory...

Listen to The Whisperer In Darkness

By now we were pretty deep down the rabbit-hole of an occult conspiracy that seemed to reach into the highest echelons of society. We'd gone far enough that we couldn't turn back, so we went forward looking for the truth...

Listen to The Shadow Over Innsmouth

That third season did not end well. Following the events of The Shadow Over Innsmouth, Kennedy started this website, to document her findings and her ongoing search for Matthew Heawood. It was a little more than a year later when the investigation resumed...

Listen to The Haunter of the Dark

Since that time, we have been investigating several cases, documented here, and we have made an audio documentary series about Aleister Crowley, which will be released in March 2026.

This site exists as the repository for what we have learned since this story began, and to document our ongoing investigations and findings.

Please take a look around, listen to the show so far and, if you would like to support what we do, please subscribe.
