"Death comes in threes." "An owl's hoot at twilight spells doom." "A cow's mournful moo after dark? Someone's about to cross over."  Ever felt a chill run down your spine hearing these old sayings?

The United States has a dark history of crime and has produced some of the most notorious names. However, none are quite as horrifying as Herman Webster Mudgett, otherwise known as H.H. Holmes.
