Special thanks to Aaron Bosh for suggesting this subject as the winner of our Halloween competition. You asked and we listened: Return to the Nightshift is in the works (top rated comment on the Betz Sphere video). Some considerations regarding this episode: In our research, we found multiple spellings of Leo Verkuelehn's surname. In some sources it is spelled "Verhuelehn" or "Verbuelehn". We simply went with the one that appeared most frequently. Some sources also state that he was _not_ the owner of the house, but one of the labourers digging out the basement. Again, we went with the information that most articles agreed upon (that he was the owner). Finally, some sources (including the Wikipedia article) state that Butler died in 1913. Both his obituary and tombstone show the year of his death as 1911.

Thank you, gentlemen, for another awesome installment. I haven't even listened yet, but come on, it's Bedtime Stories....no need to say more. Except for a mention on your theme music: I LOVE IT. I listen to it every episode, and it refuses to get old and tired. THANK YOU 😊

It surprises me that the authorities didn't give the victims a proper burial, especially for the time. I'm NOT surprised about the souvenir hunters though. Pesky humans. Back then if you got bored you'd take the kids to the morgue for fun.

[@isaacschmitt4803]

Something I've found in researching people in the US, especially from the 1800's and early 1900's, clerical errors are *everywhere.* No one cared about proper spelling or verifying that what they heard was indeed the correct word or name. Frankly it's disgusting how little people cared to get things right on official paperwork back in the day. These days you so much as have your pen slip on an official government document, you've got to start from scratch. And don't you dare slash your zeroes or cross your sevens, even though the government is who taught me to *do* that in the first place! (they make you relearn the alphabet and numbers their way in boot camp)

Bedtime and wartime stories, there is just something so unique about both channels. The narration is amazing and the illustrations set it apart from everyone else. It almost puts you there in the moment when these events happened.

[@patriciahayes2664]

It could be that Eugene Butler kidnapped people he came upon while patrolling his land. He took them back to his house, killed them, and buried them in the crawl space. What's interesting is the almost ritualistic way Butler smashed his victims' skulls to bits, like something a schizophrenic person would do. And since he claimed he heard voices telling him what to do, it's more than likely that Butler suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, which would explain his dark actions.🤔

[@truthseeker2321]

Who would be wandering around in the night in those days? It would have to have been people who were local, but no locals were ever reported missing, and not that many people would travel at night in those days, unless it was by coaches or trains. And how would he have six different victims, who would have stumbled onto his property, either separately or in a small group? These days it wouldn't be that uncommon for strangers to be wandering through town or countryside by night on foot, because of homelessness. I wonder if those bodies were already there, before he bought the property and built his house, and he was being haunted by their spirits, not knowing that they were buried right under him, and it slowly drove him crazy.

[@didi012578]

@@didi012578 I know that, but not in the numbers we have today.

[@patronzulfan]

He definitely has paranoid shizophrenia, but i think butler is not only the suspect here i would say the neighbours and the towns people are also suspect here cause since butler has been into mental facility the house was empty so some one who knows the house and area very well might be behind this, this case feels like a big cover up for me cause, even the evidence related to jack the ripper can be found today i don't what happened to the evidence of this case, the thing is we are believing every words of the towns people and the relatives who wants the wealth, so maybe we are not seeing the big picture here.

[@The_Texorcist]

Great story, fella sounded like a paranoid schizophrenic. Perhaps because of his large estate a laborer may have tried to rob his estate and upon catching him in the act he killed the laborer. That could have made him believe everyone was out to steal from him. The family could have been visiting or just strayed onto his property and he in his psychosis thought they too were going to rob him OR he saw the female of the family wanted him and that could have been the catalyst for the killing. Still though motive in this one doesn’t really matter, he likely was the only one that did the killings that ended the lives of at least 3 adults and 3 kids. Sad story.

[@ImpendingJoker]

I postulate that someone that knew how crazy he was used his house for the storage of the bodies after he was taken away. They knew the house was empty and that anything...odd, would immediately blamed on the crazy guy that used to live there, and that when the bones were discovered, the original killer came and got them so they could be reburied somewhere else before the could be identified.

[@scrocrates6380]

I thought this as well. I can only imagine the horror of having to live in a house with corpses rotting under the floor boards.

[@truthseeker2321]

Or were the bodies already there, before he built the house? There were no shortages of criminal gangs after the Civil War, who would rob stagecoach passengers and kill them, bury them in unmarked graves. A stagecoach would usually carry six passengers plus the coachman.

[@marhawkman303]

@@truthseeker2321 That WOULD explain why the corpses had no clothes. If they'd been completely stripped naked to make sure they had nothing valuable on them.

[@iwasanMBTInerd]

Then what about the trap door?

[@Boss_Man00]

I think he was schizophrenic, when he had a fortune he suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. My grandpa had the same thing… the doctors told us that it was caused by a very traumatic event when he was younger, where someone was trying to kill him that pretty much traumatized the brain and made him start doubting people for any little thing or sometimes for no reason at all.

[@prdurnion83]

It's episodes like this that truly show the amount of research done by the BTS team to give us great entertainment. They always make an effort to approach a subject at every angle, from mundane to extraordinary, giving both down-to-earth views as well as highly improbable concepts ( that are yet still within the realm of possibility ). Phenomenal work, as always!

[@vinnyvtec8722]

I personally think that he did hear people snooping around his property at night, probably to get a glimpse of the loner freak because people were curious about him and he being in his paranoid delusional state murdered them thinking they were going to rob him. They might have been from out of the area too, as word may have got around about the 'crazy guy' and they wanted to see for themselves. That would explain why there was a roughly equal amount of men, woman and children but no family had been reported missing. Also if he deliberately built his house a distance away from the rest of his townsfolk, he clearly wanted to be left alone, but I imagine people didn't.

[@micheljavert5923]

Seems mildly impossible that a frontier/settler town could lose a whole family without any one noticing. People travelled, but not nearly as much as we do today. So random folk passing through and getting got is possible but not likely. Maybe some one else did the killings and/or dumping after Butler got sent away? Still leaves us at square one for everything else though. I don't know; it's weird as sh!t, man.

If someone else did it, you would still have to account for how a family disappeared with no one noticing.

[@ZombieGrandpa]

Living just a hour or two away from the site of these murders, (North Dakotan's always make allowance for weather conditions,) I can honestly say I have never heard this story before. It is truly the antithesis of life in ND- even more so back then. The region is still full of God fearing folk, with "fearing" meaning they respect God in their life and abide best as they are able by his instructions. Life here is idyllic, except for the snows of Winter- which we are still struggling with at the time of this post. Nothing like this ever happens in ND, least very rarely. But the state mental institution in Jamestown, mentioned in the story, is still running. (I had no idea it was this old.) I often pass it on my way into town for "supplies" from Wal-Mart. It goes to show that the human mind and soul are delicate things... and easily broken. Guard yours well.

Perhaps he advertised in a big city newspaper for a couple to come board with him and do farm labor/housework and they brought their children. The black widow serial killer, Belle Gunness, lured unsuspecting men looking for matrimony to her farm and then robbed and killed them. Although in a small town such as Niagara, a new family arriving by train would have surely been noticed.

[@simonsimon325]

Also seems like he was under quite a bit of scrutiny from his neighbours. Likely he was a favourite object of gossip, so not sure he could have had anyone living on his property without people knowing. I personally think the family thing might be a red herring. They may have been individual victims and the family theory lead investigators down a blind alley.

[@mirandagoldstine8548]

Yea. Please talk about Houska Castle. I have heard there’s a dark energy surrounding that place and the reason why it was built is an enigma. It has no access to fresh water other than a cistern, no kitchen to feed the residents and staff, was built far away from any trade routes and is pretty much surrounded by swamps, forest and mountains. No one has a clue why the castle was built in the first place. I mean castles back then were meant to protect areas that had valuable resources or else trade routes that passed through it but seemingly the area has no mineral riches unless there were mines in the mountains during the High Middle Ages. That’s the only reasonable explanation I can think of other than the claim it’s guarding something dark.
