Trigger warning – discussions about murder
You may be familiar with one of the most notorious serial killers in American history: H. H. Holmes. But you may not know about the crimes he committed in Philadelphia.
Holmes spend the last year of his life incarcerated in Moyamensing prison in South Philadelphia. While the prison is gone and an ACME grocery store stands in it’s place, Philly is where Holmes stood on a scaffolding and spoke his last words before a noose slipped around his neck.
That wasn’t the end of Holmes legacy. Suspicious deaths surrounded many of the players associated with H. H. Holmes for almost 20 years after his execution.
