Biography[]
Archibald ‘Mad Dog’ McCafferty was an Australian Serial Killer. Originally from Scotland, he migrated to Australia at the age of ten. While breastfeeding, his wife fell asleep and smothered his infant son. The tragic occurrence was ruled an accident.
Mad Dog claimed that his infant son came to him in a dream and relayed that in order to be reborn, McCafferty would have to murder seven people. This lead McCafferty and his gang to murder three people, and one later in prison. He was deported to Scotland, where he later died of a fall in 2024. His death was not publicised until July 2025. Mad Dog passed at the age of 74 in his flat alone.
