It's May 5th, 1893, and you are setting foot in Chicago’s Jackson Park to see for yourself what this whole “Chicago World’s Fair” thing is all about. At the time, you don’t know it, but this event will be called “the fair that changed America”.

Hidden in plain sight, a monster laid in wait, the likes of which America had never seen… 

Today, I will be telling you about the story of America’s first urban serial killer, H.H. Holmes.   

Haunted History is produced by SoundBite Studios with host Megan Alda and writer/researcher Chloë Kibbe.
