The Demon Axman of New Orleans | Ep 11

05/31/22 • 13 min

Our main story today is about a serial killer who terrorized New Orleans from 1918 to 1919. The weird part of this tale is how he addressed himself as a demon from hell in a letter he sent to a local paper.
Then we'll close out the episode with a topic that's a bit more light-hearted; we'll look at what inspired the tradition of the high five.
We'll dig into all of this on today's episode of House of the Curious.
