They walk among us, often hidden behind a mask of charm and normalcy. What drives a person to commit acts of such unspeakable cruelty that their very name becomes a byword for evil? These are the buried files of history's most disturbing psychopaths.In this episode, we unearth seven true stories of psychopathic horror that will chill you to the bone. We begin with the case of Rosemary West, the "House of Horrors" murderess whose matronly exterior hid a sex-obsessed psychopath who, along with her husband, tortured and murdered at least ten young women and girls [citation:3][citation:12]. We then travel to Australia to examine the depraved acts of Katherine Knight, the first woman in her country's history to be sentenced to life without parole, who skinned and cooked her partner before serving him as a meal to his own children [citation:8]. We also explore the gruesome case of Ed Gein, the Plainfield Ghoul whose grave-robbing and fixation with his mother inspired horror classics like *Psycho* and *The Texas Chainsaw Massacre* [citation:5][citation:7]. This is an exploration of the darkest voids of the human psyche, from the calculated sadism of Marc Dutroux to the chilling confessions of a killer who called murder "moreish" [citation:4][citation:11]. These are the stories of monsters who walked among us.
