These are three great EVPs (spirit voices captured on audio tape) that were recorded during PRISM’s 2005 paranormal investigations of the Villisca Axe Murder House, where eight people were bludgeoned to death in 1912. In this audio presentation, the voice of two children can be heard talking. There were no children present during our investigations …with that, we ask you to be the judge on what it is that we recorded at the home.

When listening to the audio, it may help to know the names and ages of the children that were murdered in the home – Herman (age 11), Katherine Moore (age 10), Boyd Moore (age 7), Paul Moore (age 5), Lena Stillinger (age 11) and Ina Stillinger (age 8.)

In 1893, Chicago, Illinois was host to a spectacular World’s Fair — The Columbian Exposition — that celebrated the anniversary of Columbus’ discovery of America. It was a boom time for the city and thousands of people came from all over the country to attend.

Unfortunately though, the list of those “gone missing” at the end of the fair was extensive and as the police later tried to track down where these people had vanished to — the trail turned cold on the south side of Chicago.
Everything was not as shiny and beautiful as the advertising for the Exposition’s “White City” would have everyone believe, for “a devil” that became known as America’s first real serial killer was alive and well on the city’s south side, luring visitors to his “hotel”, where scores of them vanished without a trace — never to be seen again.
