There are places and buildings that seem so perfect on the outside, but their tragic and horrific history cast a darkness over the place that will forever haunt them and anyone who dares to enter. I'll be talking about the tragedies that occurred at Turnbull Canyon and The Villisca Axe Murder House and the mysterious phenomena that continue to haunt these places today.

In 1945 on Christmas Day, George and Jennie Sodder woke up at around 1am with their house blazing and nine of their ten children were in the house with them. All but five of their children came out alive..or so they thought.. as there was no trace of the remains of the five children found after the fire was out. Clues suggest they may have survived the fire, but there was no trace of them and to this day no one knows what really happened.
