In the dead of night on June 10, 1912, the small town of Villisca, Iowa, woke to a nightmare — eight people, bludgeoned to death in their beds by an unknown intruder wielding an axe. Over a century later, the crime remains unsolved, shrouded in mystery, whispers of shadowy figures, and chilling clues left behind. In this episode of Macabre: A Dark History Podcast, Halley and Blaire delve into the gruesome details of the crime, the strange twists of the investigation, and the eerie legends that still haunt the old Moore house.Patreon members get ad free content, early access and exclusive bonus episodes : Macabre PatreonSend in your stories for a future listener episode!Learn about us at www.macabrepod.comEmail us at thatssomacabre@gmail.comJoin our private Facebook Group at : MacabrePodcastRESOURCES: https://lizzieandrewborden.com/HatchetOnline/villisca-still-living-with-a-mystery.html https://murderhouse.com/the-house-and-murders/crime-scene/The Villisca Axe Murders: A Review Essay LAWRENCE H.

It will help us attract sponsors :) Many thanks!http://bit.ly/truehauntings-surveyIn the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa, nestled among rolling fields and tree-lined streets, stands a house with a past so dark it still sends shivers down the spines of those who dare to step inside. Over a century ago, in the dead of night, an unknown killer crept through its halls, wielding an axe, leaving behind a crime scene so brutal it remains one of America's most infamous unsolved mysteries. The house has stood ever since—its walls soaked in whispers of the past, its air thick with something that can't quite be explained.Who could have committed such a horrific act? And why does the house seem to hold onto the echoes of that night, as if time never really moved forward? Paranormal investigators, skeptics, and thrill-seekers alike have all reported strange occurrences—disembodied voices, shadowy figures, and an overwhelming sense of dread that lingers long after they leave. Some say the spirits of the murdered family are still trapped there, while others believe something far more sinister has taken root.In this episode we're unlocking the doors of the Villisca Axe Murder House, stepping back in time to relive the chilling events of June 10, 1912. We'll explore the gruesome crime, the baffling investigation, and the eerie hauntings that make this house one of the most terrifying places in America.

What if the Moon isn't just a big rock floating in space, but something way more mysterious—maybe even an ancient, hollow structure placed there on purpose?IN THIS EPISODE: Conspiracy theories, while often dark, can also be kind of humorous due to being so outlandishly unbelievable. For example… is the Earth's moon artificial, and actually an extraterrestrial spaceship? We'll look at the strange theory. (Could Our Moon Be An Alien Spaceship?) *** In 1912 one of the most brutal slayings in America took place in the small town of Villisca, Iowa… a murder so brutal that numerous documentaries have been made about it, books have been written, and amateur detectives have poured over the facts and suspects still trying to find out who the murderer was that swung the bloody axe. (The Unsolved Villisca Ax Murders) *** The President of the United States, no matter who is in the position at the time, is always in danger from those who would like to see someone else in office. We'll hear on the news of the assassination attempts that came close, but we more often than not are completely unaware of the attempts and plans that have been thwarted – and some of those attempts to kill a sitting U.S. President have been extremely bizarre. (Bizarre Assassination Attempts on U.S. Presidents) *** Some Biblical accounts seem unbelievable and we tend to dismiss them as fantasies, or dreams of the person writing the events down. But what if some of the strange creatures described in the bible are actually real – but come from another dimension, or even outer space? (Are Extraterrestrials in the Bible?) *** If you are told there is a city that has been built specifically for the dead, you probably think of some ancient culture that worshipped their ancestors. Personally, I think of pyramids in Egypt… but I never would've thought of the suburbs in California, USA.

Dallas Poore, a native of Villisca, Iowa, has been a student, a Marine Officer, the owner of a construction company, and most recently has continued his entrepreneurial path in 2023 by starting his nonprofit Warriors of the Wind Foundation, based in Lemoore, California. Over the years, Dallas has lost many friends to suicide and self-damaging behaviors. Warriors of the Wind has one basic goal at its core, delivered via all things social media and film - reduce military suicides by half through destigmatization, education, and community. These efforts are being set in motion as a miniseries which is currently preparing to release its pilot episode through Angel Studios, through corporate sponsorship, Dallas plans for the series to be on network television for maximum impact.

(Bella in the Wych Elm) *** Jonathan Reed couldn't bear to be separated from his wife ... so he moved into her tomb. (Til Death Do Us Part) *** Dr. Milton Rokeach forced three men who all believed themselves to be the Messiah to live together for two years in an effort to bring them out of their irrationality. But what Rokeach learned had little to do with the men themselves. (The Three Christs of Ypsilanti) *** A bodiless voice torments a lone beachgoer camping out. (Spirit Voice on the Beach) *** Only months after the infamous ax murders in Villisca, Iowa - the quiet farm community of Payson, Illinois was shattered by its own terrifying murder case. (The Pfanschmidt Murders) *** In an effort to test one of his theories on social behavior, psychologist Muzafer Sherif released twenty-two 12-year-old boys into a sparsely supervised wilderness camp — and then covertly provoked them to fight each other. (The Robbers Cave Experiment) *** Witch hunts and trials. They didn't end in Salem – they live on even today in Papua New Guinea. (Papua New Guinea Witchcraft) *** A man in Japan sees small, childlike ashen white aliens. (Childlike Aliens) *** How can a holy book such as the Christian bible bring bad luck? One paranormal museum in West Virginia has the answer with an infamous display of the 666 Bible. (The 666 Bible) *** The people of Hannibal, Missouri in the late 1800s would remain appalled that one of their most prominent residents could be murdered without retribution. Even a $10,000 reward couldn't bring justice. (The Stillwell Murder) *** A father takes his son to the ruins of an old, burned down building – and the boy sees something his father doesn't. (The Old Factory Visit) *** “The Devil's Advocate” - it's a phrase that can be traced to the Roman Catholic Church that long had an actual official office for a person who was employed to be exactly that – an advocate for the devil.

No A.I. voices are ever used in the show.IN THIS EPISODE: Social media over-sharers are a common complaint. Facebook is a medium where people spill their guts, sometimes without enough discretion. While detailed status updates about breakups can be annoying, killers who confessed on social media give new meaning to the term "TMI." It's hard to believe, but some people use Facebook as a platform to announce the heinous crimes they've committed. (Online Crime Confessions) *** While some people confess on social media to the murders they've committed, in some cases it is social media that caused people to commit murder or be killed. We'll look at a few of those cases. (Dead Because of Social Media) *** What if you could talk to God? Not through prayer, but through thought? Where you would be able to converse directly, and receive direct answers. One group of scientists believed it was possible and set out to do just that. (A Direct Line To God) *** Author and researcher Raymond Fowler tackles the tricky and trippy subject of time slips, and ripples in time. (Raymond Fowler And The Ever Changing Nature of Time) *** A young girl is continually beckoned to take a boat ride – but the one doing the beckoning is not of this world. (The Ghost In The Boat) *** On June 10, 1912, all eight people inside the Moore family's house in Villisca, Iowa — including two adults and six children — were murdered by an axe-wielding assailant. It's a mystery over a century old that still has no answers.

[REKLAM] LYSSNA PÅ BONUSAVSNITTET HÄR: www.patreon.com/spoktimmenVad är det som låter? Det är mitt i natten när Pat Montandon vaknar i sin säng i lägenheten på 1000 Lombard Street. Irritationen växer inom henne. Är det på riktigt någon som spelar musik mitt i natten? Hon smyger upp, tassande på lätta tår, för att undersöka och stöter då på sin inneboende Carolyn, som är lika förbryllad som hon själv. Den gamla melodin från låten "Mockin' Bird Hill" ekar svagt mellan lägenhetens väggar men källan till musiken är omöjlig att hitta. Den verkar komma från ingenstans. Nästan som att huset spelar av sig själv. Det har blivit dags att damma av ett gammalt ämne, nämligen Spökhus. Vi berättar om två olika hus med närvaro som inte vill dess besökare väl. Vi avslutar sedan med en fruktansvärd lyssnarberättelse, om ett hus där ägarna är långt ifrån ensamma.Fall: 1000 Lombard Street & The Villisca axe murder houseKontaktInstagram:@spoktimmen@linnekFacebook:SpöktimmenMail:spoktimmenpodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Join us on Patreon, watch us live, and never listen to another ad ever again! www.patreon.com/savannahunderground Eenie tells about her terrifying experience at The Villisca Ax Murder House. The Villisca Axe Murder House has a dark and detailed history, steeped in mystery and tragedy. The events of that fateful night in 1912, and the subsequent investigation, have left many questions unanswered, contributing to the lore and intrigue surrounding the house. On the evening of June 9, 1912, Josiah B. Moore, his wife Sara, and their children Herman, Mary Katherine, Arthur, and Paul, along with two friends of Mary Katherine, Lena and Ina Stillinger, settled in after attending a church event. Sometime after midnight, an assailant or assailants silently entered their home. Each victim was bludgeoned to death with an axe, which belonged to Josiah Moore, indicating they were likely asleep when attacked. The killer or killers used the blunt end of the axe on the victims, and the murders were characterized by their overkill nature, suggesting extreme rage or a deeply personal motive. The investigation into the murders was extensive but flawed from the start, with the crime scene being compromised by curious townsfolk and inadequate forensic methods of the time. Several suspects were considered: Frank F. Jones, a Villisca resident and Josiah Moore's former employer, was rumored to have a grudge against Moore over business disputes and personal issues. William Mansfield, another suspect, was believed to have been hired by Jones to commit the murders, but he was later released due to lack of evidence. Reverend George Kelly, a traveling preacher, was in town the night of the murders and had a history of mental instability. He confessed to the murders under pressure but later recanted. His two trials ended in a hung jury and an acquittal. Numerous theories have been proposed over the years, including robbery gone wrong, a serial killer (as similar murders occurred in the region around the same time), or a crime of passion. None have been definitively proven. The house is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and operates as a museum. It attracts visitors from around the world, particularly those interested in the paranormal. Many claim to have experienced strange phenomena such as visions, sounds, and ghostly apparitions, believed to be the spirits of the murdered family and their guests.

On this edition of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by DigiFarm, Andrew Focht takes us inside his strip-till operation in Villisca, Iowa. Focht has increased his yields each year since switching to strip-till 2 years ago. He shares his nutrient management plan, which includes phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) applications in the fall, nitrogen (N) applications in the spring and variable rate N applications throughout the growing season.

The Moore family was an affluent family located in the town of Villisca, Iowa. They were well-known and well-liked in town. So when all 6 of them, along with 2 young guests, were found bludgeoned in their own home one morning in 1912, people had no idea who would have committed such a crime. Was this heinous crime committed for some financial motive, or could it have been a serial-killer going on a murder spree through the town? Sources: 1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villisca_axe_murders 2) https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/2022/06/09/1912-villisca-ax-murders-what-to-know-iowa-cold-case/7567590001/3) https://www.traveliowa.com/places/villisca-axe-murder-house/201/#:~:text=Curated%20guided%20tours%20are%20available,restoration%2C%20plus%20see%20authentic%20mementos.Support the Show.

Villisca, Iowa, une paisible bourgade du comté de Montgomery, abrite un sombre secret sous son apparente tranquillité rurale. Le 7 novembre 2014, à 0h45, la vie du shérif Joe Sampson bascule lorsqu'il reçoit un appel terrifiant : un homme gravement blessé a été retrouvé dans la sinistre "Villisca Axe Murder House". Sur place, Sampson découvre que Robert Steven Laursen, un chasseur de fantômes, s'est mutilé dans cette maison tristement célèbre pour les meurtres non résolus de 1912. La terreur s'empare de la ville alors que les anciens événements resurgissent. Le récit nous plonge dans l'histoire macabre de cette demeure maudite, où huit personnes furent sauvagement assassinées. Tous les miroirs étaient recouverts de draps, et une hache ensanglantée gisait sur les lieux. L'atmosphère oppressante et les murmures qui hantent la maison rappellent à tous que certains lieux sont condamnés à porter le poids d'une tragédie éternelle.

How does covering a murder mystery sound for this week's episode? Well I hope you said yes because we are coving an Axe Murder House from Villisca, Iowa. It all went down in 1912 when a family returned from a church event on the night of June 9th. It seemed like the next day started off just like any other until the neighbors noticed the Moore family home was oddly quiet. To hear what happens next, take a listen and let me know. Enjoy!

IN THIS EPISODE: Conspiracy theories, while often dark, can also be kind of humorous due to being so outlandishly unbelievable. For example… is the Earth's moon artificial, and actually an extraterrestrial spaceship? We'll look at the strange theory. (Could Our Moon Be An Alien Spaceship?) *** In 1912 one of the most brutal slayings in America took place in the small town of Villisca, Iowa… a murder so brutal that numerous documentaries have been made about it, books have been written, and amateur detectives have poured over the facts and suspects still trying to find out who the murderer was that swung the bloody axe. (The Unsolved Villisca Ax Murders) *** The President of the United States, no matter who is in the position at the time, is always in danger from those who would like to see someone else in office. We'll hear on the news of the assassination attempts that came close, but we more often than not are completely unaware of the attempts and plans that have been thwarted – and some of those attempts to kill a sitting U.S. President have been extremely bizarre. (Bizarre Assassination Attempts on U.S. Presidents) *** Some Biblical accounts seem unbelievable and we tend to dismiss them as fantasies, or dreams of the person writing the events down. But what if some of the strange creatures described in the bible are actually real – but come from another dimension, or even outer space?

Rachel James is the co-author of the bestselling book, The Man from the Train, which has garnered plenty of attention by claiming to solve the Villisca ax murders, one of Iowa's most notorious crimes. Rachel, together with author Bill James, her father, say they now have the identity of the person who the murdered eight people in the quaint home on 2nd street. They say his name is Paul Mueller. We talk to Rachel about what she's learned. The book also links Mueller to a murder home in Germany that we will be covering in Season 2.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

True Crime episode! This week Julia talks about the infamous Villisca axe murders. A gruesome yet interesting unsolved case. Was it the insane, perverted reverend? Or a bacon crazed man.

It's probable that the same person committed a series of axe murders between 1898 and 1912 across the United States, including the infamous 1912 Villisca axe murders in Iowa.  And, this serial killer appears to have traveled by train to perform these heinous acts.  If it were the same person, he was responsible for at least 59 deaths, with the potential to have committed up to nearly 100.  The theory of a single killer hinges on a pattern of behaviors and circumstances: the murders were typically carried out with an axe belonging to the victim, the majority of the murders took place near a train track, the killings were done at night, and the victims were often asleep in their beds.  The Villisca axe murders are the most notorious of these cases; however, with the passage of over a century, definitive answers are likely out of reach, and the true identity of "The Man from the Train" remains a subject of speculation.Visit us at www.mydarkpath.comwww.youtube.com/@mydarkpathwww.patreon.com/mydarkpath

Part One – VilliscaIn June of 1912, an entire household was brutally slain in the small town of Villisca, Iowa. No one was ever brought to justice for the crime and evidence now suggests that it may have been just one of a large number of families murdered by the same killer. Who was the man from the train?Part Two – Modus OperandiMore than a century after the mysterious murders at Villisca, author Bill James and his daughter Rachel believe that they have not only mapped out the full extent of the man from the train's crimes, but also identified exactly who he was.MUSIC "Ice Demon", “Night of Chaos”, “Ghost Story” and "Undaunted" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0"Enter the Night", "Haunted", "12 Rooms, 12 Vacancies", “Secret Societies 3”, “The Sea Ran Red”, “If I Don't Return”, “Lost”, “When The World Comes Apart” and “A World of Different Dimensions” used by kind permission of CO.AGSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Facebook is a medium where people spill their guts, sometimes without enough discretion. While detailed status updates about breakups can be annoying, killers who confessed on social media give new meaning to the term "TMI." It's hard to believe, but some people use Facebook as a platform to announce the heinous crimes they've committed. (Online Crime Confessions) *** While some people confess on social media to the murders they've committed, in some cases it is social media that caused people to commit murder or be killed. We'll look at a few of those cases. (Dead Because of Social Media) *** What if you could talk to God? Not through prayer, but through thought? Where you would be able to converse directly, and receive direct answers. One group of scientists believed it was possible and set out to do just that. (A Direct Line To God) *** Author and researcher Raymond Fowler tackles the tricky and trippy subject of time slips, and ripples in time. (Raymond Fowler And The Ever Changing Nature of Time) *** A young girl is continually beckoned to take a boat ride – but the one doing the beckoning is not of this world. (The Ghost In The Boat) *** On June 10, 1912, all eight people inside the Moore family's house in Villisca, Iowa — including two adults and six children — were murdered by an axe-wielding assailant. It's a mystery over a century old that still has no answers. (The Horror and Haunting In Villisca)SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…BOOK: “Time Slip Connexions – We Are Holograms” by Raymond E.

(The Unsolved Villisca Ax Murders) *** The President of the United States, no matter who is in the position at the time, is always in danger from those who would like to see someone else in office. We'll hear on the news of the assassination attempts that came close, but we more often than not are completely unaware of the attempts and plans that have been thwarted – and some of those attempts to kill a sitting U.S. President have been extremely bizarre. (Bizarre Assassination Attempts on U.S. Presidents) *** Some Biblical accounts seem unbelievable and we tend to dismiss them as fantasies, or dreams of the person writing the events down. But what if some of the strange creatures described in the bible are actually real – but come from another dimension, or even outer space? (Are Extraterrestrials in the Bible?) *** If you are told there is a city that has been built specifically for the dead, you probably think of some ancient culture that worshipped their ancestors. Personally, I think of pyramids in Egypt… but I never would've thought of the suburbs in California, USA.

Jesse Wilkins, Dave Wilkins, and Rob Coakley from the Hometown Ghost Stories podcast (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHnk8lQr-uMiMGEghVQ5LyQ) return to share the terrifying tale of the Villisca Axe Murder House! 8 murders were committed in that house on June 12, 1912, and while the police at the time had many suspects, they actually failed to convict anyone of the heinous crime and the case remains unsolved to this day. The guys detail the story, evidence, theories, and suspects, and explain why researchers and experts believe Villisca was the work of a serial killer. They also talk about paranormal elements surrounding the Villisca House and the weird links to both the Sallie House and the Lizzie Borden case.  Please support our sponsors!FanDuel: download the FanDuel app & use promo code JERICHO to get $150 in FREE bets when you place your first $5 bet.Pandora: Find a gift as unique as your love!
