This episode on the Villisca Axe Murder House, was recorded live inside the Villisca House, back in September of 2021. And guess what? Host Amber knew nothing about the history of the Villisca house before we started recording. 

Listen as Jennifer tells Amber the history of the house, from inside the house's living room. 

And, not only did Amber and Jennifer record an episode in the house, we spent the night there, recording the next morning and documented if anything occurred during the night. 

The Villisca axe murders occurred between June 9, 1912, and June 10, 1912, in the town of Villisca, Iowa. All six members of the Moore family and the two Stillinger sisters were found murdered in the house. All eight victims, (including six children), were bludgeoned with an axe. The reason for the murders and the murder(s) were never found.

We start the episode discussing if visiting places where people were murdered is in bad taste. You can make an argument for both sides.

Tune in as we discuss suspects in this unsolved case, if the house itself is haunted, and if so, who is haunting the house.
