The Villisca Axe Murder House - Part II (Campfire)

from The Night Owl: True Ghost Stories · host Night Owl Paranormal Research Society

In Part I of this Campfire Series, you heard from a range of voices connected to the site of one of the most notorious unsolved crimes in American history — the 1912 Villisca Axe Murders.You heard from the current tour guide of the Villisca Axe Murder House, who walks its haunted halls regularly. You also heard from a representative with Iowa’s tourism office, who described the same strange unease that so many others have reported after visiting. And you were introduced to the gripping account of a man who unknowingly moved his family into the house directly across the street from the Villisca Axe Murder House — only to be hired as the property manager of the very home he once thought was just part of local legend.Over the course of five months, his skepticism gave way to fear as a series of unsettling events unfolded — ultimately leading him and his family to flee Villisca entirely, relocating to Florida with no clear plans of returning.Now, in Part II, we’re taking a short detour from that story to bring you two new voices whose experiences with the house span years and miles: a seasoned paranormal investigator with a personal history at Villisca, and an author who has spent years preserving the legacy of the case and the home in writing.Together, their stories offer deeper context — and raise new questions — about what might truly linger inside the Villisca Axe Murder House.And later, in Part III, we’ll reconnect with the caretaker you met in Part I and hear from his wife for the very first time — bringing this Campfire series to its unforgettable conclusion.Photo provided by Travel IowaFEATURED GUESTS:Richard Estep - Book “A Nightmare in Villisca”Colin Browen - The Paranormal Files “The Axe Murder House of Villisca”The Paranormal Files YouTube ChannelThe Conspiracy Files YouTube ChannelMurder in America PodcastEPISODE SPONSORS:LUMI GUMMIESGo to LumiGummies.com  and use code NIGHTOWL for 30% off your order.AG1Use my link to give the new AG1 flavors a try, plus a FREE Welcome Kit:drinkAG1.com/nightowl
