Step inside one of America’s most chilling unsolved crimes: the Villisca Axe Murders of 1912. Eight people, including six children, were slaughtered in their sleep. The nation was horrified. The town of Villisca was never the same.
In this two-part true crime deep dive, we’ll walk room by room through the night of the killings, the mob-like chaos that destroyed the crime scene, the strange rituals left behind, and the suspects who haunted investigators for decades. Then, we’ll descend into the hauntings — the whispers, shadows, and restless spirits said to linger in the house to this day.
Equal parts history and horror, this is not just the story of a crime; it is also the story of a nation. It’s the story of a wound that never healed.
