HH Holmes became known as the Devil in the White City because of the legend that he built a murder castle in Chicago in 1893 with the intent of murdering hundreds of people as they visited the Chicago World Columbian Exposition (which became known as the White City).
He built a hotel with secret walls and rooms so that he could kill people and dispose of their bodies in the basement.
At least, this is the story we've all been told. The real story is quite different.

He’s just the first one that got caught
H. H. Holmes the type of guy to quick save and then kill everyone in the game
"People just disappeared back then sometimes." I say this all the time when people try to claim that things are worse (more dangerous) today than they were in the past.
They should make a show about Sherlock Holmes trying to track down H. H. Holmes.
A small group of crows is "attempted murder."
I got to say, this channel have taught me waaaaaaaaay more than i ever expected to be possible from a random facts video channel series
He wasn't the first, just the first identified. Whoever the Servant Girl Killer was in Austin, Texas might have been the first. 1884
I work at the Museum where his remains were brought to be forensically examined a few years ago. Ive held his skull in my hands several times. He was actually a little guy with a husky build. His brain had calcified to the size of a tennis ball in his head. You could rattle it around like a maraca.
I love this guy, he's so down to earth, no pretensions, no affectations, and even makes fun of himself. Just great. 😀
When I was younger I Googled my family's name and this guy was the first person that popped up.
You can tell joe felt good when he said “sleep tight kids” you can tell he enjoyed that
The most shocking thing about H H Holmes is that he was able to get away from his creditors for so long.
Joe, you killed it.
Fact: He wasn’t caught by Sherlock Holmes
He also sold the skeletons of his murdered victims to university's which were hard to come by so any suspicions were ignored.
Damn Joe, you’re close to a million! This is such a quality channel you’ve built (not sure if you have a team, but if so they’re clearly awesome also), you deserve it!
Can you do one about Nikola Tesla?
Oooh. An early upload!? I'm really interested in this type of subject. Thanks Joe.
I follow a decent amount of true crime so when I saw this from you Joe, I jumped at the chance! I was not disappointed. Thanks for doing this video and for all of your ongoing work. Your sense of humour is just perfect 👌🏾
