28 OCT 2025 · Before he was H.H. Holmes, he was a boy dissecting frogs in a New Hampshire attic. By twenty-five, he was forging death certificates, selling corpses, and plotting a triple murder for insurance cash. In part two of our upcoming 2025 Halloween Special, we trace the origins of America’s first documented serial killer—from grave-robbing in Michigan to the blueprint for a building in Chicago, designed to disappear people. We even cover the schemes and gruesome murders themselves. Welcome to Part Two: Murder Castle.
