Podcasts about axe murders

True crime historian Rachel McCarthy James joins to talk about Whack Job: A History of Axe Murder, tracing humanity's relationship between axe and skull, where questions about Axe-related word play are axed and answered. Then the show pivots to how algorithms elevate the most loathed spokespeople on every hot-button issue, from Riley Gaines to Jasmine Crockett and Greta Thunberg, and why our brains can't easily separate "the person" from "the cause." Finally in the Spiel Mike discusses Marjorie Taylor Greene, Zohran Mamdani, and whether renouncing past rhetoric—be it "Jewish space lasers" or NYPD boots laced by the IDF—should earn politicians anything more than a provisional, closely watched second chance.

This week on History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by historian and author Rachel McCarthy James, the mind behind the intriguing book "Whack Job: A History of Axe Murder." Together, they delve into the infamous case of Lizzie Borden, a crime so notorious it has inspired nursery rhymes and countless myths.Debunking the 40 Whacks: Rachel sets the record straight on the infamous rhyme, revealing that Lizzie did not deliver 40 whacks, but rather a significantly lower number—18 to her stepmother and 10 to her father. This episode challenges the sensationalism surrounding the case, highlighting how historical narratives can be distorted over time.The Axe Myth: Explore the myth surrounding the weapon itself. Rachel argues that the axe attributed to Lizzie was almost certainly not the murder weapon, as the prosecution's case hinged on dubious evidence and assumptions rather than concrete facts.Life of Lizzie Borden: Discover who Lizzie Borden was, the tensions within her household, and the societal constraints she faced as an upper-class woman in the late 19th century. Rachel provides a vivid picture of the events leading up to the murders and the aftermath that left Lizzie both infamous and isolated.Guest Information:Purchase Rachel McCarthy James' book "Whack Job: A History of Axe Murder" through the History Rage Bookshop at https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781837733286.Follow Rachel on Bluesky: @rmccarthyjames.bsky.social Join the conversation and share your thoughts on Lizzie Borden and historical myths on Twitter @HistoryRageor directly with Paul Bavill @PaulBavill.

Σε μια μικρή πόλη της Αϊόβα την Villisca, που κάποτε διαφημιζόταν ως «μια από τις καλύτερες πόλεις της πολιτείας», θα συμβεί ένα από τα πιο σκληρά εγκλήματα: ένα σπίτι, με οκτώ νεκρούς και ένα μυστήριο που δεν λύθηκε ποτέ.Ιούνιος 1912. Η οικογένεια Moore δύο γονείς και τέσσερα παιδιά, γυρνάει στο σπίτι μετά από γιορτή παιδιών στην εκκλησία. Μαζί τους, δύο φίλες της μικρής Katherine, οι αδελφές Stillinger, που θα μείνουν για ύπνο. Το επόμενο πρωί, κανείς δεν ακούγεται, τα ζώα είναι νηστικά και οι κουρτίνες κλειστές. Και το σπίτι; Θα ρημάξει, θα αλλάξει χέρια, θα σωθεί την τελευταία στιγμή από ένα ζευγάρι ιστορικών, θα αποκατασταθεί όπως ήταν το 1912 και θα γίνει αυτό που όλοι σήμερα ξέρουμε: το διαβόητο Villisca Axe Murder House.

In the 1920s, Birmingham was known as “The Magic City.”Steel, smoke, opportunity—and something much darker.It began in a small corner store.Then another.And another.Grocers were attacked in the dead of night. Families were slaughtered in their beds.The weapon was simple. Primitive. Personal.An axe.For four years, fear ruled the streets. Doors were barricaded. Neighborhoods formed militias. The police were desperate enough to consult Ouija boards… and corrupt enough to let the Ku Klux Klan lead the investigation.Newspapers blamed a shadowy killer they called “Henry the Hacker.”But the truth was far more terrifying.This wasn't the story of one monster.It was the story of a city full of them. LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHwww.hauntedamericanhistory.comBarnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

Lizzie Borden, the young woman accused of butchering her father and stepmother with an axe in their quiet Fall River, Massachusetts home in 1892. What began as a shocking local crime quickly became a national obsession, filled with gruesome details, strange inconsistencies, and a courtroom spectacle that would forever cement Lizzie's name in true crime history.We explore the tense family dynamics simmering inside the Borden household — the jealousy, resentment, and whispers of inheritance that may have fueled the rage behind the murders. Listeners will follow the chilling timeline of that August morning: the locked doors, the missing handle on the supposed murder weapon, and Lizzie's oddly calm demeanor in the hours after her parents were found slain. We break down the police investigation, early forensic blunders, and the testimony that both condemned and confused.Then came the trial of the century, where Victorian ideals of femininity collided with brutal reality. Could a well-bred Sunday school teacher really commit such a violent act? Or was Lizzie the scapegoat of a town desperate for answers? From her shocking acquittal to the eerie legacy that followed, Sean, Jorge, and Eric walk through the full story — from the family tensions and blood-stained evidence to the enduring myths, nursery rhymes, and ghost stories that keep the legend of Lizzie Borden alive more than a century later.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

Send us a textBetween June of 1911 and June of 1912, America's heartland lived in fear. From Oregon to Iowa, entire families were slaughtered in their beds — curtains drawn, lamps dimmed, the blunt edge of an axe left behind. The trail of terror ran through Ardenwald, Rainier, Colorado Springs, Monmouth, Ellsworth, and Paola, before ending with the infamous Villisca murders.Was it the work of one shadowy figure riding the rails, or a series of eerie coincidences? Detectives of the day struggled with poor science, conflicting rumors, and too many suspects — men like Henry Lee Moore, William Mansfield, Rev. George Kelly, Charles Marzyck, Nathan B. Harvey, and George Wilson. None were ever proven guilty.In this episode of Curator135, we retrace that chilling year of violence, the communities shattered in silence, and the questions that remain more than a century later.Support the show

Happy Spooky Season, Cemetery Row listeners! We kick off the most wonderful time of the year with three chilling tales. Sheena shares the classic Memphis ghost story of Pink Lizzie, and Hannah covers California's evil axe murderer James Dunham. Lori covers the murder of Thelma Taylor and Oregon's haunted Cathedral Park.

In 1922, a little farm in the woods of Bavaria became the site of what would become Germany’s most famous unsolved murder, when six people were brutally killed with a pick axe. What led up to it and followed is nothing short of bizarre.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1940s Italy, a desperate mother believed that turning three women into soap and tea cakes would save her son from dying in World War II.HOUR ONE: "It was a terrible sight… I have seen horrible sights, but never anything like this.” Those were the words of the local undertaker after seeing the results of a triple murder laying before him in 1932 Pennsylvania. (The Axe Murders of Lykens) *** A gypsy once told Leonarda that all of her children would die before her.  A different fortuneteller  told her that she faced either a future in prison or in a criminal asylum. And the reason she gave for becoming a serial killer is something you'd hear out of a bad direct-to-video horror film. And that's a tiny sample of this woman's insanely dark life – which began even before her birth. (The Woman Who Made Soap) *** Ireland's Loftus Hall is considered by many to be the most haunted location on all the Emerald Isle. But the most infamous story of Loftus Hall begins not with terror, but with romance… with a beautiful young girl falling madly in love with… the devil. (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) ==========HOUR TWO: 7-year-old Maria went missing in 1957, and while her body was later found, her murder was never solved and the case went cold – until 50 years later when the case was finally solved and closed. But it turns out everybody was wrong. (A Cold Case Finally Solved… Then Unsolved) *** If you take State Route 375 through Nevada you will pass by the infamous Area-51. But of course they are not going to let you in, even if you ask nicely. But State Route 375 isn't called the Extraterrestrial Highway just because of one area you can't visit – there's a lot more to it than that. (The 98-Mile Extraterrestrial Highway) *** Hikers sometimes get lost in the woods, as do children of course. But those on bikes almost never disappear; but there is one tragic case of a fat tire rider who couldn't be found. (The Vanished Mountain Biker) *** In 1910 two witnesses see a pair of lights that transform into radiant beings with “human form.” You might dismiss the report as misidentification of ball lightning or some other natural explanation – but in 1952 those radiant humanoid beings of light were seen again! (Close Encounters of the Fairy Kind)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil! (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) *** Chlorosis was a frequently diagnosed disease during the 19th century that gave the skin of the afflicted a greenish tinge. As a cure, doctors told young women to get married and reproduce. As you can probably surmise, the cure was not in the least bit effective. (The Girls Who Turned Green) *** Have you heard of the poor girl who was bullied and pushed down into a sewer by those whom she thought were her friends? I'll tell you the story. And while this episode is not a creepypasta episode, so all the stories are supposed to be non-fiction, that is… true, I will be sharing this urban legend anyway – because when it comes to urban legends, sometimes it's best to err on the side of caution and simply assume they are true. (The Urban Legend of Carmen Winstead) *** Weirdo Family member Brad Hicks describes the experience as “cool… and creepy as hell”. We'll tell you his story. (The Thing In The Light) *** More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil!

"Whack Job: A History of Axe Murder' by Rachel McCarthy James traces the foundational and violent role of the axe from prehistoric times to the present. And — yes — the infamous Lizzie Borden case does get a chapter, as do a pair of relatively recent Kansas City murders.

Today Rachel McCarthy James drops in to talk about the development of the axe and the myriad of ways it has been used to dispatch people and empires over the years.About our guest:Rachel McCarthy James was born and raised in Kansas, the daughter of baseball's Bill James and artist Susan McCarthy. She graduated from Hollins University in Roanoke, VA, where she studied writing and politics. Her first nonfiction book, The Man from the Train, was written in collaboration with her father and published in 2017. She lives with her husband Jason and pets in Lawrence, KS.

Much like the wheel, the boat, and the telephone, the axe is a transformative piece of technology―one that has been with us since prehistory. And just as early humans used the axe to chop down trees, hunt for food, and whittle tools, they also used it to murder. Over time, this particular use has endured: as the axe evolved over centuries to fit the needs of new agricultural, architectural, and social development, so have our lethal uses for it. Rachel McCarthy James, who wrote "The Man From the Train" with her father Bill James, returns to the show to talk to share some of the history of this iconic tool and weapon. She shares examples of how it's been used for violence over the centuries - from the Vikings to Henry VIII to Lizzie Borden. Her new book, out on May 13, called "Whack Job: A History of Axe Murder".

HOUR ONE: 7-year-old Maria went missing in 1957, and while her body was later found, her murder was never solved and the case went cold – until 50 years later when the case was finally solved and closed. But it turns out everybody was wrong. (A Cold Case Finally Solved… Then Unsolved) *** If you take State Route 375 through Nevada you will pass by the infamous Area-51. But of course they are not going to let you in, even if you ask nicely. But State Route 375 isn't called the Extraterrestrial Highway just because of one area you can't visit – there's a lot more to it than that. (The 98-Mile Extraterrestrial Highway) *** Hikers sometimes get lost in the woods, as do children of course. But those on bikes almost never disappear; but there is one tragic case of a fat tire rider who couldn't be found. (The Vanished Mountain Biker) *** In 1910 two witnesses see a pair of lights that transform into radiant beings with “human form.” You might dismiss the report as misidentification of ball lightning or some other natural explanation – but in 1952 those radiant humanoid beings of light were seen again! (Close Encounters of the Fairy Kind)==========HOUR TWO: "It was a terrible sight… I have seen horrible sights, but never anything like this.” Those were the words of the local undertaker after seeing the results of a triple murder laying before him in 1932 Pennsylvania. (The Axe Murders of Lykens) *** A gypsy once told Leonarda that all of her children would die before her.  A different fortuneteller  told her that she faced either a future in prison or in a criminal asylum. And the reason she gave for becoming a serial killer is something you'd hear out of a bad direct-to-video horror film. And that's a tiny sample of this woman's insanely dark life – which began even before her birth. (The Woman Who Made Soap) *** Ireland's Loftus Hall is considered by many to be the most haunted location on all the Emerald Isle. But the most infamous story of Loftus Hall begins not with terror, but with romance… with a beautiful young girl falling madly in love with… the devil. (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) ==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil! (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) *** Chlorosis was a frequently diagnosed disease during the 19th century that gave the skin of the afflicted a greenish tinge. As a cure, doctors told young women to get married and reproduce. As you can probably surmise, the cure was not in the least bit effective. (The Girls Who Turned Green) *** Have you heard of the poor girl who was bullied and pushed down into a sewer by those whom she thought were her friends? I'll tell you the story. And while this episode is not a creepypasta episode, so all the stories are supposed to be non-fiction, that is… true, I will be sharing this urban legend anyway – because when it comes to urban legends, sometimes it's best to err on the side of caution and simply assume they are true. (The Urban Legend of Carmen Winstead) *** Weirdo Family member Brad Hicks describes the experience as “cool… and creepy as hell”. We'll tell you his story. (The Thing In The Light) *** More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil!

On a bitter cold day in January of 1947, a retired carpenter from Schuylkill County went berserk and slaughtered his wife with a hatchet. What makes the tragic tale of Samuel Aulenbach strange is that, according to some, Samuel was a member of a fanatical religious sect. The motive is the greatest mystery-- what drove a quiet, respectable man to a senseless act of slaughter? Only the killer knew for sure, and he didn't live long enough to tell anyone about it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paoddities/support

This episode has so many twists and turns that if it was a novel, someone on Goodreads would complain about it being "unrealistic". A whole family was murdered one night in the 1870s. The motive was clear, but the perpetrator was (and still is) a mystery. Though a trial ensues, the town decides to take matters into their own hands. Otherwise known as The Horsey Episode. Sources: 1) https://johnbrassardjr.com/2020/01/11/the-spencer-family-massacre-part-1/ 2) https://johnbrassardjr.com/2020/01/25/the-spencer-family-massacre-part-2/3) https://khqa.com/news/local/family-of-five-brutally-murdered-in-clark-county-in-18774) https://www.mississippivalleypublishing.com/group-takes-another-look-at-125-year-old-murder-case/article_b57f4759-a9c7-5ef7-89f9-0be4783df114.htmlSupport the show

Episode 150 | "They didn't have birth control back in the 1900's. You do it, you have a baby." This week, we're celebrating a major milestone—150 episodes of REMelations! To mark the occasion and embrace the October spirit, we dive into a mix of dream interpretations, quirky catnaps, and a chilling cold case. Brooke kicks off the episode by interpreting Jake's unsettling dream of a rundown house and a spouse who ignores him. She unpacks the symbolism and emotional undertones, revealing what these dream elements might represent in Jake's waking life. In the catnap segment, we share a series of wild and bizarre dreams: finding a great deal on Prada boots, recurring dreams of feeding stray cats, binge-eating alligators, a strange visit to a superhero hospital, and a dream about a tasty and intelligent head soup. To celebrate both our 150th episode and spooky season, Mindy explores Iowa's most infamous cold case, the 1912 Villisca Axe Murders. In this deep dive, we examine the brutal, unsolved mystery that has haunted Iowa for over a century. Finally, we wrap up the episode by reflecting on our experience at the Iowa Podcast Awards, where we were thrilled to win Best Comedy Podcast. It's been an incredible journey, and we're grateful to all of our listeners for supporting us through 150 episodes.

On March 31st, 1922, on a cold, snowy, and quiet night in Germany, at a small unassuming farm roughly an hour's drive north of Munich, six gruesome axe murders were committed after various people in the home had been hearing strange noises coming from the attic for months. Who was in the attic? Who killed the entire Gruber family? For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

There are two interviews packed into this week's episode of Most Notorious! First Dale Ross, author of "A Voice for Ira" joins me to talk about the horrific death of Ira Gurley in a bizarre elevator accident in 1932 Arkansas. While it looked to be an tragic accident on the surface, some evidence suggests there may have been something more sinister afoot involving corrupt state government officials and gangsters. My second guest is Jeremy W. Gray, author of "The Infamous Birmingham Axe Murders: Prohibition, Gangsters & Vigilante Justice". He shares stories about a series of brutal murders that frightened citizens of Birmingham, Alabama in the early 1920s.

Listener's buckle up, because as always this episode is not for the faint of heart. Today we are talking about the brutal massacre of 6 people that took place on a farm property in rural Germany back in 1922. And this case remains Germany's most notorious unsolved murder.

From about 1910 to 1912, an alarming number of axe murders were occurring across the American South and Southwest. Though many would speculate as to the identity of perpetrator, including the theory that a single individual was responsible, many of these murders would remain unsolved and contribute to macabre urban legends that endure to this day. In New Orleans, however, the brutal axe murders of at least five Black families in 1911 and 1912 are attributed to Clementine Barnabet, an African American teenager who confessed to the crimes.Despite having confessed to as many as thirty-five murders, and having been convicted and incarcerated for one, the veracity of Barnabet's claim has long been in doubt. Tried and convicted on very little evidence, Barnabet's story changed many times following her arrest and eventually came to include sensational and highly questionable claims of her belonging to a Voodoo religious sect that engaged in human sacrifice. Not only were these claims unsupported by any real evidence, but they also suggested the girl may have been suffering from profound mental illness and had nothing whatsoever to do with the murders in and around New Orleans. But if Clementine Barnabet wasn't the killer, why did she confess to such brutal, wicked crimes?Thank you to the incredible Dave White or Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research!ReferencesCrowley Daily Signal. 1911.

HOUR ONE: "It was a terrible sight… I have seen horrible sights, but never anything like this.” Those were the words of the local undertaker after seeing the results of a triple murder laying before him in 1932 Pennsylvania. (The Axe Murders of Lykens) *** A gypsy once told Leonarda that all of her children would die before her. A different fortuneteller told her that she faced either a future in prison or in a criminal asylum. And the reason she gave for becoming a serial killer is something you'd hear out of a bad direct-to-video horror film. And that's a tiny sample of this woman's insanely dark life – which began even before her birth. (The Woman Who Made Soap) *** Ireland's Loftus Hall is considered by many to be the most haunted location on all the Emerald Isle. But the most infamous story of Loftus Hall begins not with terror, but with romance… with a beautiful young girl falling madly in love with… the devil. (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) ==========HOUR TWO: 7-year-old Maria went missing in 1957, and while her body was later found, her murder was never solved and the case went cold – until 50 years later when the case was finally solved and closed. But it turns out everybody was wrong. (A Cold Case Finally Solved… Then Unsolved) *** If you take State Route 375 through Nevada you will pass by the infamous Area-51. But of course they are not going to let you in, even if you ask nicely. But State Route 375 isn't called the Extraterrestrial Highway just because of one area you can't visit – there's a lot more to it than that. (The 98-Mile Extraterrestrial Highway) *** Hikers sometimes get lost in the woods, as do children of course. But those on bikes almost never disappear; but there is one tragic case of a fat tire rider who couldn't be found. (The Vanished Mountain Biker) *** In 1910 two witnesses see a pair of lights that transform into radiant beings with “human form.” You might dismiss the report as misidentification of ball lightning or some other natural explanation – but in 1952 those radiant humanoid beings of light were seen again! (Close Encounters of the Fairy Kind)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil! (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) *** Chlorosis was a frequently diagnosed disease during the 19th century that gave the skin of the afflicted a greenish tinge. As a cure, doctors told young women to get married and reproduce. As you can probably surmise, the cure was not in the least bit effective. (The Girls Who Turned Green) *** Have you heard of the poor girl who was bullied and pushed down into a sewer by those whom she thought were her friends? I'll tell you the story. And while this episode is not a creepypasta episode, so all the stories are supposed to be non-fiction, that is… true, I will be sharing this urban legend anyway – because when it comes to urban legends, sometimes it's best to err on the side of caution and simply assume they are true. (The Urban Legend of Carmen Winstead) *** Weirdo Family member Brad Hicks describes the experience as “cool… and creepy as hell”. We'll tell you his story. (The Thing In The Light) *** More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil!
