Step inside one of America’s most chilling unsolved crimes: the Villisca Axe Murders of 1912. Eight people, including six children, were slaughtered in their sleep. The nation was horrified. The town of Villisca was never the same.

In this two-part true crime deep dive, we’ll walk room by room through the night of the killings, the mob-like chaos that destroyed the crime scene, the strange rituals left behind, and the suspects who haunted investigators for decades. Then, we’ll descend into the hauntings — the whispers, shadows, and restless spirits said to linger in the house to this day.

Equal parts history and horror, this is not just the story of a crime; it is also the story of a nation. It’s the story of a wound that never healed.

In 1970, a simple Raggedy Ann doll was given as a birthday gift to a nursing student. What followed became one of the most infamous cases in paranormal history. From mysterious movements and bloodstains to violent attacks and the intervention of Ed and Lorraine Warren, Annabelle’s story is one of subtle, patient evil.

In this episode of True Haunting Files, we uncover the real history of Annabelle, separate fact from Hollywood fiction, and explore her chilling journey from the Warrens’ Occult Museum to her recent appearance in Gettysburg — one of America’s most haunted towns. Along the way, we’ll examine the strange occurrences that follow her wherever she goes, and ask whether Annabelle is a cursed doll, a demonic vessel, or something even more dangerous: a story that feeds on belief.

Deep in the hills of western New York stands a farmhouse where terror has never left. Families fled in fear, priests attempted an exorcism that ended in failure, and investigators still report whispers, shadows, and something darker that refuses to let go.

In this debut episode of True Haunting Files, we open the case of the Hinsdale House—a haunting steeped in violence, dread, and a darkness too powerful for even the Church to banish. From visions of hanging bodies to an exorcism surrounded by shadowy figures, this is one of the most terrifying true hauntings in America.

Some hauntings fade with time. Hinsdale only grows stronger.
