In the dead of night on June 10, 1912, the small town of Villisca, Iowa, woke to a nightmare — eight people, bludgeoned to death in their beds by an unknown intruder wielding an axe. Over a century later, the crime remains unsolved, shrouded in mystery, whispers of shadowy figures, and chilling clues left behind. In this episode of Macabre: A Dark History Podcast, Halley and Blaire delve into the gruesome details of the crime, the strange twists of the investigation, and the eerie legends that still haunt the old Moore house.
