In this chilling episode, we delve into the dark and twisted tales of two infamous figures who left a trail of terror in their wake. First, we explore the horrifying legacy of H.H. Holmes, America's first documented serial killer. Known for his "Murder Castle" in Chicago, Holmes lured victims into his labyrinthine hotel, filled with hidden passageways, trapdoors, and torture chambers. Discover the dark details of his cunning schemes and the eventual downfall of one of history's most cunning and sinister murderers.
Then, we travel to 18th century France to investigate the legend of the Beast of Gévaudan. This mysterious creature terrorized the rural countryside, reportedly killing over a hundred people. Was it a wolf, a rogue animal, or something more sinister?
This week for our bonus story, Kai covers an ancient manuscript, written in an unknown script and filled with illustrations of unidentifiable plants, astronomical charts, and mysterious figures. This cryptic book has baffled scholars, cryptographers, and historians for centuries, sparking countless theories about its origins and meaning.
