Salve Killers!Oggi faremo un viaggio nel tempo di qualche secolo, più precisamente nella seconda metà del 1800, per fare la conoscenza di un uomo che divenne una parte permanente del folklore americano come colui che costruì un "castello degli omicidi" per torturare e uccidere centinaia di vittime. Stiamo parlando di Henry Howard Holmes, a cui fu attribuito il titolo di primo serial killer d'America.Nelle rievocazioni moderne di questa vicenda spesso prevalgono finzione e leggenda. Scopriamo perciò cosa successe veramente… la sua vera storia!Buon ascolto!ATTENZIONE: L'immagine di copertina appartiene ai legittimi proprietari!Intro music: Spooky Scary Skeletons (JubyPhonic Modified Version)Music 1: “Until Dawn” - Vivek AbhishekMusic 2: “Slow and relaxing background” - BobncsMusic 3: “Dark Lands” - Vivek AbhishekMusic 4: “It Will Hurt Just Once” - HorrorSuspenseMusic 5: “Tension Cello” - OvermusicMusic 6: “Evidence” - SoundridemusicMandami una mail: oscuropalcoscenico@gmail.comSe vuoi consigliarmi un caso: https://forms.gle/GB3esZB3oaybN4Di7

Before inspiring the horrors of *American Horror Story: Hotel*, H.H. Holmes' Murder Castle in Chicago was a real-life house of nightmares—filled with trap doors, gas chambers, and victims who checked in but never checked out.IN THIS EPISODE: It's one of the most infamous and macabre subjects of Chicago history – it even served as inspiration for TV's “American Horror Story: Hotel”. It's what has become known as “The Murder Castle” where serial killer H.H. Holmes committed his monstrous crimes. But even today, Holmes continues to terrify… in spectral form. (H.H. Holmes' Hellish Hotel And Lingering Haunting) *** A woman tries to save the soul of her daughter, believing her to be possessed… but her solution to drive out the demon was to murder her daughter using a holy crucifix. (Murder By Crucifix) *** What's worse than proclaiming yourself to be a supernatural being and starting your own cult? How about telling your followers you are God so you could do drugs and have sex with teenage girls? It's the disturbing true story of the cult called “The Group”. (Theodore Rinaldo – The Drug Cult Rapist) *** Shrunken heads – believe it or not, they are real. And some tribal peoples create them even today – from real human heads. But why do it at all? We'll look at the reality behind shrunken heads, the reason they are created… and even how they are created. (The History and How of Shrunken Heads) *** A terrifying series of paranormal activities invade a family's home in Wales. (The Swansea Entity) *** Tenome is a Japanese Urban Legend about a blind man who was robbed and murdered. His dying wish? To have eyes on his hands so he could see. (The Seeing Hands of Tenome) *** Unsolved mysteries are intriguing simply because they are unsolved. That's why we are so fascinated by stories of people disappearing without a trace. But one man's disappearance is so bizarre, so weird, that upon hearing the story you'll be scratching your head wondering what the heck you just heard.

The legend of H.H. Holmes and his so-called "Murder Castle" is an American Tall Tale gone bad... Holmes wasn't just any killer—he was one of America's first real serial killers. And it wasn't just the body count that made him infamous. It was that house. Initially, people thought it was just a regular hotel, a smart business move by Holmes to cash in on the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. But, when the police finally took a good, hard look inside, they found something straight out of a nightmare. The Murder Castle wasn't some run-of-the-mill hotel with a few secrets behind the wallpaper and a revolving bookcase. No, this thing was a cathedral to the macabre. It wasn't built for guests—it was built for victims. As for the body count? Well, that's still up for debate. Some say Holmes killed as few as nine people. Others think he might've murdered as many as 200...Either way, he wasn't running a hotel—he was running a slaughterhouse. Some might even say he was running the prototypical, "Haunted House"...If you found Kinda Murdery because of the Hillbilly Horror Stories Halloween Special, thank you so much for being here!

In our final bonus episode for Series 4, we're exploring the truly wild life and genuinely abominable crimes of H.H. Holmes, America's first serial killer.Part of the "Something Wicked" series, we start by chatting through how communication technology in the 19th century created a much more anonymous society, one in which a man born Herman Webster Mudgett in New Hampshire could grow up and skip across national borders, and between over a half dozen states, to assume new identities and commit both audacious acts of fraud and ghastly murder sprees for over 20 years without getting caught. We then discuss the specifics of Mudgett's life, including his multiple marriages, early career selling cadavers, and the journey that brought him to his most infamous hunting ground: Chicago, at the time of the 1893 World's Fair.From his many wild money-making schemes to the construction of his custom-built 'Murder Castle' into which he lured and dissected his victims - thought to number up to 200 people - we dig into the details. What is actually known about what he did, what is speculated upon, and how the "yellow journalism" of his time made Holmes a folk hero - all before the truth started to emerge about his grisly journey to incarceration and, ultimately, the hangman's noose.Along the way we'll also be answering important questions, such as, how many wives is too many wives? And how exactly do you build a Murder Castle? But unlike some of our previous Something Wicked subjects, there's no ambiguity about this one: Herman Mudgett was an extraordinarily evil man, and to discover quite how evil then do be sure to gather round the campfire and listen in...The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks! It may be summer outside, but we're keeping it creepy here on the podcast. Kala had a special seeeeester birthday request for a haunted museum, and so she covered world's largest museum, education, and research complex, The Smithsonian Institute! Considering how many artifacts these buildings hold, it's no surprise that some ghosts have come along with them. And it's not just visitors who have had experiences, the staff has lots of tales to tell too! And Brittany talks about the legend of The Green Children of Woolpit. Years ago, two children were found next to a pit full of angry, snarling wolves (okay... not really. It was just a pit). What makes this situation even weirder? The kids were green! Where did they come from? Were they fae? Aliens? Sickly humans? Sadly, with this happening so many centuries ago, we may never know for sure.Thank you so much for listening! If you haven't had a chance, we would love it if you could rate and subscribe to our podcast wherever you listen to all your favorite paranormal podcasts! Editor's Note: The Centennial Exposition of 1876 in Philadelphia IS the first World's Fair, but HH Holmes was at the Chicago one in 1893. It was called the World's Columbian Exposition. I was both right and also wrong.

IN THIS EPISODE: Witchcraft, torture, and a man selling his soul to Satan. Not exactly the kind of events you typically expect before a wedding. (The Devil's Agent) *** Creativity is usually admired by those who experience it, reveling in the joy and artistry a creator puts into his work. But when a serial killer decides to get creative, the only one who feels joy is the killer himself. And thus was the case with H. H. Holmes. (America's Most Creative Serial Killer) *** Did an American serial killer's reign of terror reach England? One man believes so. In fact, he believes his great-great grandfather was the one and only Jack the Ripper. And that man was H. H. Holmes.

Is evil real? I sit down with Ron Felber to examine the that question, fiction or not. Could evil really influence those so deeply that a normal loving soul does the unthinkable and unimaginable to another human that it shocks you to your core. Could these heinous crimes we've seen and heard about for hundreds of years be the works of psychotic psychopaths that play the “The Devil Made Do It” card or is there something more sinister at play?

Hi friends, happy Tuesday! Today we're talking about the man who is famously known as America's first ever serial killer- H.H. Holmes. But did he kill for money, or for fun? Living in Chicago in the mid 1800s, his dream was to get rich by any means necessary, even if that meant murdering his friends, lovers… basically everyone close to him. The truth of this story is wild enough, but the lies people told to sell newspapers are next level. Do you think there's any truth to any of it?

IN THIS EPISODE: It's one of the most infamous and macabre subjects of Chicago history – it even served as inspiration for TV's “American Horror Story: Hotel”. It's what has become known as “The Murder Castle” where serial killer H.H. Holmes committed his monstrous crimes. But even today, Holmes continues to terrify… in spectral form. (H.H. Holmes' Hellish Hotel And Lingering Haunting) *** A woman tries to save the soul of her daughter, believing her to be possessed… but her solution to drive out the demon was to murder her daughter using a holy crucifix. (Murder By Crucifix) *** What's worse than proclaiming yourself to be a supernatural being and starting your own cult? How about telling your followers you are God so you could do drugs and have sex with teenage girls? It's the disturbing true story of the cult called “The Group”. (Theodore Rinaldo – The Drug Cult Rapist) *** Shrunken heads – believe it or not, they are real. And some tribal peoples create them even today – from real human heads. But why do it at all? We'll look at the reality behind shrunken heads, the reason they are created… and even how they are created. (The History and How of Shrunken Heads) *** A terrifying series of paranormal activities invade a family's home in Wales. (The Swansea Entity) *** Tenome is a Japanese Urban Legend about a blind man who was robbed and murdered. His dying wish? To have eyes on his hands so he could see. (The Seeing Hands of Tenome) *** Unsolved mysteries are intriguing simply because they are unsolved. That's why we are so fascinated by stories of people disappearing without a trace. But one man's disappearance is so bizarre, so weird, that upon hearing the story you'll be scratching your head wondering what the heck you just heard.

In Part 4 of H.H. Holmes, it gets even wilder. This man has now headed to Texas with his 500th wife and is ready to join his partner in crime, Benjamin Pitezel to steal Minnie Williams' inherited land. He has plans. He plans to now build a Texas murder castle like the one he created in Chicago. But first, Pitezel and Holmes need to scheme their way into a payday, using an insurance scam and faking Pitezel's death. When it looks like Pitezel might back out, things go sour and Holmes goes on a murder spree that brings him to several states and even Canada. Strap in, friends. It's complicated and horrific here.Thank you to Dave White for research assistance. Resources: Philadelphia Inquirer. 1894. "Cause of death a mystery." Philadelphia Inquirer, September 6: 6.—. 1896.

In Part 3 H.H. Holmes isn't done being adulterous and he's taking evil to another level. He's conning wives left and right and then takes to arson to earn a quick buck.

When Boston police arrested Dr. Henry Howard Holmes in a West End boarding house on November 17, 1894, they assumed they had apprehended an interstate criminal guilty of defrauding the Fidelity Insurance company of $10,000 and of being a horse thief in Texas. Holmes had been tracked to New England by the Pinkerton Detective Agency, who had suspected him of other crimes in various cities across the country; yet even the most seasoned and creative detective couldn't have imagined the horrific scope and magnitude of crimes he'd committed.
