Inside the Murder Castle: The True Story of H.H. Holmes and His Killing Factory
Herman Mudgett didn't become America's most notorious serial killer by accident. He built a three-story hotel in Chicago specifically designed to kill people, and he did it right before the 1893 World's Fair brought millions of visitors to the city. But here's what most people get wrong about the H.H. Holmes story: the Murder Castle wasn't always meant for murder. It started as a massive fraud scheme, and the killing came later. We're breaking down the real story of the man who turned death into a business model, sold human skeletons to medical schools, and died terrified that someone would do the same thing to his corpse. This is the documented truth behind America's first serial killer, and it's somehow worse than the legend.
