On The Anniversary Of Serial Killer H. H. Holmes’ Death They Are Digging Him Up
One of the most notorious serial killers to ever walk the streets of America was Herman Webster Mudgett, but you know him as Henry H. Holmes. Born on May 16, 1861, H. H. Holmes built a grand hotel, often referred to as “The Murder Castle”, which operated during the World’s Fair. The hotel was built and designed with murder in mind.

Holmes would kill guests, clean and bleach their bones, then sell their skeletons to medical schools and doctors. When police began to investigate the missing people, last seen checking into the hotel, Holmes fled. The hotel was then burned to the ground thanks to an unknown arsonist. Holmes was captured in 1895 and soon confessed to killing nine. However, officials believed that the real body
