In the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa, 1912, eight people—two adults and six children—were bludgeoned to death in their sleep with an axe. Over a century later, the crime remains unsolved.

Or a serial killer moving from town to town by train?SURVEYObscurata Discussed FACEBOOK GROUPThe BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITESource Information:https://www.villiscaiowa.com/murder-house.phphttps://www.pbs.org/independentlens/villisca/murder.htmlhttps://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/2015/06/10/villisca-axe-murder-anniversary/28791541/https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/a-chilling-look-back-at-the-villisca-axe-murders-117037374/https://iowacoldcases.org/case-summaries/villisca-axe-murders/https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/58946/unsolved-case-villisca-axe-murdershttps://www.onlyinyourstate.com/iowa/villisca-axe-murder-house-ia/https://www.kcci.com/article/ghost-adventures-villisca-axe-murder-house-investigation/43942031https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/danvergano/ghosts-villisca-axe-murder-househttps://www.history.com/news/villisca-axe-murders-mysteryhttps://the-line-up.com/villisca-axe-murdershttps://www.npr.org/2017/09/24/552195468/the-man-from-the-train-investigates-americas-axe-murdererhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34137794-the-man-from-the-trainhttps://www.hauntedrooms.com/iowa/villisca-axe-murder-househttps://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/2014/11/07/paranormal-investigator-stabs-himself-villisca-axe-murder-house/18658241/https://www.travelchannel.com/shows/ghost-adventures/episodes/villisca-axe-murder-houseThanks so much for listening, and I'll catch up with you again next Thursday.Sarah & Rog xxSURVEY https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/mDi5IVFf Hosted on Acast.
