H.H. Holmes: The Death Castle - EP 174

www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

In 1893, the World’s Fair turned Chicago into a city of electric light, and on 63rd Street a man calling himself Dr. H.H. Holmes was building something very different. In this Halloween special of The Conspiracy Podcast, Eric, Sean and Jorge tell the true story of Herman Webster Mudgett, the New Hampshire farm boy who became a con man, a bigamist and one of the most notorious killers in American history.

Eric, Sean and Jorge follow Holmes from medical school, where he learned to cash in on corpses, to the maze-like “Murder Castle” in Englewood. They cover the women who disappeared from his building, the insurance scheme that turned deadly in Philadelphia, and the three children he took across the Midwest and into Canada. They also follow Frank Geyer, the Philadelphia detective who went city to city with the children’s photographs in his pocket until he found what Holmes had done.

Then come the conspiracies. Was H.H. Holmes really Jack the Ripper, as his own descendant claims? Did he escape the gallows and flee to South America? Who set fire to the Murder Castle while he sat in a jail cell? Where did the legend of 200 victims come from? And did a curse follow everyone connected to the case? Eric, Sean and Jorge separate the documented crimes from the tabloid legend in a story that’s dark, strange and true.
