Blood and Soil: The Fox Hollow Farm Murders and the Rituals of the Dead


Listen Later

In this bone-chilling episode of The Parallax Podcast, Karisa and Willow descend into the heart of one of Indiana’s most gruesome unsolved mysteries: the horrors of Fox Hollow Farm. What began as a peaceful estate became a graveyard for as many as 11 young men—all victims of suspected serial killer Herb Baumeister, whose twisted double life hid in plain sight among the sprawling fields and quiet woodlands.

Willow meticulously unravels the haunting case, from the disappearances that shook the community to the grim discovery of mass graves scattered across the property. She pieces together the timeline of terror, the victims’ stories, and the eerie legacy of a man who hosted lavish pool parties by day—and hunted in the shadows by night.

Then, Karisa delves into the macabre details of the ritualistic aspects of the crimes. Were the placements of the remains deliberate? Could symbols, objects, or patterns suggest something darker than random violence—an invocation of fear, control, or even ancient rites? Was this slaughter a methodical ceremony?

From clues to folklore, from true crime to the occult, this episode exposes the darkness festering beneath the surface of ordinary places—and ordinary faces.
