Spooky True Crime Vol. 5: H.H. Holmes & the Hammersmith "Ghost"

It's time for our fifth installment of spooky true crime stories! This episode kicks off with a discussion about sensationalism surrounding the crimes of infamous serial killer Herman Webster Mudgett, AKA H.H. Holmes. We then recount the tale of the Hammersmith Ghost, who terrorized a small village on the outskirts of London for two months in the winter of 1803, and try to answer the question, "Is it murder if you thought you were shooting a ghost?" ** Want to listen without the ads?
