Episode 29: Chicago, IL - H.H. Holmes and Resurrection Mary
It’s episode 29 and we are one week closer to the ultimate spoopy day. Ian “Noodles” Green is back to keep us creepy crawly and spooky ooky. We are heading over to Chicago, IL this week for our location topic and boy are these stories spoopy! We start out with one of the first documented American serial killers: H.H. Holmes. Between bigamy, insurance fraud, massive swindling, the Chicago World’s Fair and of course a Murder Castle full of torture rooms and decomposing bodies, his story is completely wackadoodle. Then we move onto one of Chicago’s most famous ghosts, Resurrection Mary. She seems to be spending her afterlife hitch hiking down Archer Road and luring handsome young men into dancing the night away with her. And then of course she pulls a slow yeet (or maybe a bit quicker than that) when she reaches the gates of Resurrection Cemetery. Grab some pumpkin spice and settle on in for this week’s trip to Creeptastic Chicago!
