H H Holmes was a serial killer, but his true body count is closer to ten and he killed for money and in the cases of the two children he killed, inconvience. The death house was pure fantasy and was in fact oddly built because Holmes engaged in fraud while constructing it, which is why it’s was never finished. There were no killing rooms or anything of the kind. It was all urban myth based on police speculation related to three murders he actually did commit while owning the building involving tenants and girlfriends and wives. Fire partially damaged the building after he was under investigation for murders he most likely did commit and it was finally torn down in the 1930’s I believe. But aside from legend zero evidence of his murder house exists or ever existed.<br /><br />For the true story, look up Adam Selzer who writes about and gives guided tours on the darker history of Chicago.<br /><br />And to reiterate, there was no murder mansion, he never even killed 27 people much less over 200, his real victim total was nine or ten and his victims were killed for money or because they were inconvenient. He was a psychopath and a serial killer, just more prosaic then his legend suggests.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823933484162777751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906786397374372561.post-74322825017482326272016-06-21T21:47:06.722-04:002016-06-21T21:47:06.722-04:00There was stories of H.H.
