About this listen

In 1912, eight people — a family and two overnight guests — were brutally murdered in a quiet Iowa farmhouse in a crime that was never solved. The Villisca house became a symbol of lingering violence in the heartland.

Decades later, visitors report footsteps, children's voices, sudden illness, and objects moving as if the house still remembers. This episode tells the murders, the investigation, and why the Villisca Axe Murder House continues to haunt and draw the curious.
