In the early morning hours of June 10, 1912, an intruder forced his way into the house of Josiah Moore and his wife, Sara. During the nightmare that followed, everybody in the house — Mr. And Mrs. Moore, their four children, and two young girls who were visiting for the night — was murdered with an axe. The small town of Villisca, Iowa, would be scarred forever.

Today, the infamous Villisca Axe Murder House has a fearsome reputation for being haunted. Each year, hundreds of fascinated people flock to the house, seeking an encounter with the paranormal.

Some get more than they bargained for. Join Richard Estep of TV’s Haunted Hospitals and Paranormal 911 as he and a small team of investigators lock themselves inside the Villisca Axe Murder House and delve into its deepest, darkest mysteries.

Definitely a good read

I feel a lot more prepared for my visit to villisca now. This book was very informative and also very entertaining. couldn't stop listening 😅

Death In the Night

The murder of the Moore family and two of their young friends has shocked people for decades. The senseless murder, the gruesome crime scene, and the lack of anyone being held accountable has led to many believing that the house itself is haunted.

Richard Estep goes inside the house and discusses his investigations there, as well as some others that have been done inside the home. This was an interesting look at the case, the paranormal instances that have occurred.

Interesting read overall!

One of the better ones.

Some of his books tend to ramble on but this one seems to stay on topic.

Not your average paranormal book

Sounds like the author was trying to solve the murders than do a paranormal investigation. It seems that each person was giving their own opinions on the crime and acting like criminologists. I am highly skeptical of ouija boards and dowsing rods because they can be easily manipulated. As a paranormal investigator myself, I like to capture my own evidence using scientific resources. I would like to do my own investigation of this house.

nice listen

very good, was a easy listen ,and detailed. The narrator sounded like a robot though

good story

The story was good but the reader made it sound a bit like an automated recording

Good, but sad

very sad story, but interesting the paranormal investigators. The reader was also good. looking for more of the same.

What a waste of time. Worst audible book yet.

I was expecting this to be a historical book. Instead, there’s a little bit of history, but 90% of it is a ridiculous discussion about people, including the author, trying to prove that there were footsteps in the house or other barely discernible hauntings. As a result, this was a colossal waste of time and, hands-down, the worst audible book I’ve listened to yet. It did have some unintended humorous parts from the narrator’s bizarre emphasis of random words in random sentences. I’d go back and listen to them again, just to get a good laugh at what word he chose to emphasize in a sentence, which made no sense at all. Overall, horrible narration and a ridiculous plot. I endured this book and then learned all I needed to know from Wikipedia!
