H H Holmes America's First Serial Killer - His Unmarked Grave Location and Where He Was Executed

[@RoyceCoolidge]

I accidentally stumbled across this KZbin channel and man I am so glad I did. I’ve been binging these. Thank you for your work. You’re freakin awesome!

[@grimmlifecollective]

Happy you found us. And thank you for the kind words

[@RiseFromTheDead]

I will never condone or agree with his actions, but HH Holmes is the most fascinating of the serial killers in my opinion. You guys are walking through history and i regularly feel as if Im right there with you🕸

[@mattt2581]

Carl Panzram for me.

[@RiseFromTheDead]

@@mattt2581 He is a new one for me! I will research him!

I have that Carl Panzram book though I haven’t read it yet .

[@Vidar.m]

He was likely jack the ripper

[@thewitness829]

Im from Philadelphia and I had no idea H.H. Holmes was buried here. Caught me off guard hearing this! You guys should check out Eastern State penitentiary if you didn’t!

[@grimmlifecollective]

Thank you for watching…yes we have been to Eastern State Pen in the past…but not here for Grimm Life. We did reach out to them a couple of years ago about covering the prison for the channel…they were very adamant about not letting us. Said they were not interested.

[@thewitness829]

@ I’ve been there a few times as well. Googled Holy Cross Cemetery and It’s actually right up the road from job! so crazy, i may have to go visit Mr Holmes! Your Jack the ripper video was excellent as well, I have a ripper tat on my arm! Happy New Years to you both 😁.

[@Damianplaza]

Being friends with Jeff (HH Holmes great grandson) really made me interested in this video you just did. This is good. I will share with him your video. Awesome work, you two!

[@opinionmaximus]

I was thinking the same thing about the old prison wall, history in plain sight and people don’t even realize. Cool! Love the videos. ❤

[@criticalcrab1125]

devil in the white city by erik larson is the best book on hh holmes. he’s a great author. i read it when it first came out years ago & still remember how good it was! love your channel!

[@KarenRose70]

That book was a lie. Read Adam Selzers book on him. He did a lot of research on it.

They are making that into a movie. But yes it is fairly fabricated

[@4KDisneyTV]

How you guys don’t have a million subs boggles my mind. So good at what you do. Being from Philly I never knew this. Worked construction countless times on those streets and walked and or drove by it without knowing. Another great one.

[@sarahchipperfield28]

Just about to go to sleep will definitely be watching this tonight ❤ love you guys 💚 it’s currently 2am in Australia

[@kevinhensley4643]

Love this video and the historical horror of HH Holmes. Fascinating, thank you

[@deannaallen4670]

I actually watched the special on the people trying to identify him. There is a grandson I think, that said HH Holmes is actually Jack the Ripper and there was a special on it. I remember the double coffins ⚰️ and the concrete. They found him though! It was very interesting.

[@kyleechristina1231]

It’s amazing hearing how he wanted to be buried, I remember watching this the first time you did it and I still love it. I don’t love what he did but the historic fact knowing he was the first one. Something to admire about that. It’s crazy the things we love about history but that’s what I love! Great video once again Michael and Jessica! Much love to you both! ❤️👻🎃 and as always Happy Halloween!

[@janetk2564]

I recall hearing someone was trying to open his coffin. I heard there were road blocks and assumed they had given up. Great to hear the rest of the story. Great episode as always.

[@catmom7447]

I love me some history. What I find weird is today people walk by something and don't give it any thought. It takes good people like you Michael and Jessica to bring it to people's attention. I am glad that Jessica is getting in on the videos. Thanks, guys, for another great video.

[@Nenezilla]

Great video, hello from Pittsburgh!

[@kaymad143]

That is interesting, thank you Jessica for the details of his grave! You two do a great job on these guys!

Thank you Kay. Happy Halloween

Another excellent video guys. . Many thanks for your hard work!

[@davidleslie1963]

Very clean and clear edit! Well done, Michael!

[@mrnosaj71]

Fascinating, I was not aware of his burial requests. H. H. Holmes is the boogyman, creeper, nightmare and Godfather of serial killers. Great job and much appreciation for you two. Happy Halloween!

Is this a reupload it seems I've seen it before. Great content thanks.

[@Lisa-j6x1j]

I've always had such a fascination with true crime. Of course I will never truly understand what makes killers tick nor do I condone such mentality. I do however enjoy hearing the history and stories. Another triumphant video you two😊👻

[@jack2breeze]

In case anyone who hasn`t heard this a female employee of the post office where the murder castle once stood found a vintage bottle in the crawlspace. When she took it home she began to have hauntings of what happened in the murder castle. She decided to take the bottle back to the crawlspace which ended the hauntings.

[@andreww8941]

[@MattHasDemons]

Do John Wayne Gacy... I am a huge fan of you guys. I think the work you do and the effort you put into making these videos is outstanding. I'm a huge fan of horror and the paranormal. It would be awesome to see some more ghost hunting videos and some haunted exploring... keep being grim :)

[@steelbrigadekory]

I grew up in Toronto and I used to pass by this area near Bay Street. Got a terrible, depressing feeling and couldn’t ever figure out why. Turns out that that area was where Holmes murdered the 2 Pitezel children. But it was 25 years before I found that information out

[@FriendlyGhost23]

Honestly, a truly strange and intriguing mind. I'm very curious as to how he became so curious to do what he did.

[@FrankieEm]

Oh my god, I was losing my damn mind through this whole video, haha! I was like, “I’ve seen this before!” I felt like a damn psychic through the whole thing, especially as Jessica talked about Holms’s mustache disintegrating. I was like, “How the hell did I know she was gonna say that?!” Oh, my god. When I saw that it was re-upload I cracked up so hard. I was like, GHOUL! You’re not a damn psychic, chill out! Hahahaha! Ahhhhhhh, hot damn I love you two so much. Thanks for taking the time re-edit and upload this so I can enjoy it all over again. 🖤🎃🖤

Hello Michael and Jessica great video 📹 about HH Holmes Happy 😊 Halloween 🦇.

[@Dangerella]

I vaguely recall something said about H.H. Holmes in Philadelphia... I think from the ghost tours advertised. I had NO Idea it was these parts and South Philly. Now, I'll always think of that CVS as the original ACME! HA! Thanks again for sharing local history.... It is neat to learn new stuff from where I live. Come back to Philly more often! If you haven't done so or I haven't seen it yet, there's the Edgar Allen Poe house. Since I did my episode though, the old tree has since been torn down.

[@jamescrossland2599]

My grandparents had an old series of 'Encyclopedia of Serial Killers' 📚 I remember as a kid reading about this guy n' seeing the diorama of the townhouse 🏠 inside, showing how rigged up from top floor to basement ways to get the bodies down easily.......it freaked the HELL outta me as a 10 yr. Old kid!!!!! They were an awesome 📐 of books 📚😁

[@Casombra50]

HH Holmes is fascinating really. I follow his great great grandson, Jeff Mudgett, and also have a signed and first edition of his book, Bloodstains. Jeff discusses and speculates that his great great grandfather could possibly be Jack the Ripper, as Holmes was in London at the time of the Ripper murders.... interesting read for sure!

Holmes went to the University of Michigan. His photo can be seen in the Class photo for 1884. The class photo hangs in UM hospital. At UM he lived across the street from a cemetery. Kind of eerie.

I like watching your channel and learning about these things. Sad to say terrible things were happening, but there were way more murderers and serial killers before this guy. America and the world just considered it legal back then (slavery). This guy definitely gave me the creeps just by looking at him though.

I find it interesting that even though Holmes was America's first serial killer, the term "serial killer" wasn't even coined until the 1970's.

Was just reading about the term before, they were usually called ‘mass murderer’ then

Why TF does someone who murdered loads of people get the respect of deciding what happens to their body after they die? with regards to these precautions with a serial killer.

If there were crime scene photos of his carnage, I'm sure a lot of people would be a lot less fascinated by his evil.
