About this listen

In this episode of Ghosts, Creatures and Scares oh my, we explore the historical crimes of two of America's alleged first serial killers: HH Holmes and Lavinia Fisher.


In the late 1800s, HH Holmes terrorised the streets of Chicago. Legend says he murdered up to 200 people in his booby-trapped, elaborately sadistic murder house, giving him the moniker of America's first serial killer.


We discuss his crimes and the infamous murder house. Lastly, we explore the story of America's first female serial killer, Lavinia Fisher. Operating from a remote, roadside inn on the back roads of South Carolina in the early 1800s, Lavinia lured many unfortunate travellers to their doom for financial reward. Legend says that her angry spirit still haunts the lonely roads at night looking for her next victim.
