We are once again taking you back in time, but this case remains unsolved to this day, over one hundred years later!
This case is so bizarre and equally as fascinating. The theories are mind-boggling and yet, the question remains: who did this?
Was it a singular act of violence or was it perhaps the work of one of America's first ever serial killers?
Next week we will get into the haunting and paranormal side of this home. It has been dubbed one of the MOST haunted places in the United States.

It's the 70's, everyone has got their thumb in the air in the hopes of making it to their final destination. Look, we get it, it was the 70's, but in this week's episode Hanna tells you exactly why you do not talk to strangers.

Mary Vincent learned that lesson in the most terrifing way possible when she was picked up by a man by the name of Lawrence Singleton.

This is her miraculous survival story and how she ultimately overcame insurmountable odds, like the true badass she is.

Evidence of Paranormal Activity: The Villisca Axe Murder House Haunting

6 Recommendations

This episode went completey off the train rails, figuratively and literally. We mean it got wild.
If you haven't listened to last week's episode about the initial event that occurred in The Villisca House, please do that before this one. It will give you the back story of the tragic 1912 Axe Murders that took the lives of eight people.
Here's the thing, the home is notorious for being a paranormal hot spot. There have been so many encounters with the otherworldly that this could be its' own podcast. But, we picked a few (of the many) to showcase the most compelling evidence, suggesting that the home is not only occupied by intelligent spirits, but an eerie residual haunting of the night of the murders.
We also explore if there is another presence in that house.
Hang on tight, we hope you sleep tonight after hearing this one.....we sure didn't.
