About this listen

In this chilling continuation of our Murders That Haunt series, Yvette Fielding crosses the Atlantic to investigate one of the most infamous serial killers in history.


H. H. Holmes, the man who built murder into brick and mortar.


Previously, we’ve explored the lingering shadows of Mary Blandy, Al Capone, Mary Ann Cotton and Amelia Dyer.


Now, we step inside the legend of the so-called Murder Castle.


A labyrinthine building constructed at 63rd and Wallace Street in Englewood, Chicago, designed with hidden corridors, sealed rooms, and deadly intent.


But the building is gone.


So why do reports of hauntings persist?


In this week's episode, Yvette unpacks Holmes’ disturbing life story and then examines the chilling phenomena linked to five key locations:


  • The original Murder Castle site at 63rd & Wallace
  • The Englewood Post Office that now stands in its place
  • Artifacts held in storage by the Chicago Historical Society
  • Moyamensing Prison in Philadelphia, where Holmes met his end
  • Holy Cross Cemetery in Pennsylvania, where his body lies buried in concrete


From shadow figures and unexplained footsteps to spatial distortions and overwhelming sensations of being watched, we explore what witnesses have reported and whether the architecture of cruelty can leave something behind long after the walls have fallen.


Are these hauntings the result of psychological imprint?


Lingering intention?


Or something far more unsettling?


This is Murders That Haunt: Dr. H. H. Holmes & The Murder Castle.


Enter if you dare.
