Horrifying History

When bad things happen, a person’s desire to survive automatically kicks in. For some this may come in the form of having a strong sense of determination and hope, and for others it may come in the form of having a strong support system or a sense of future purpose. Some believe in something greater than themselves that gives them purpose in their lives. But ultimately the desire to survive a horrible circumstance is a deeply personal thing that can be influenced by a wide variety of factors.

There are many different survival stories out there, and they all are inspiring. But there is one tale that sticks out from all the others. So get comfortable my spooky friends…you are about to hear the tale of the lucky Violet Jessop.

I love horror movies, but when I watch them I don’t necessarily think about if they are based on true events or not. But what if I told you that some of the darkest horror movies like Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs were all based on the actions of one man.

So get comfortable my spooky friends…you are about to hear the tale of the murderous Ed Gein. But be aware: In today’s episode we will be talking about childhood abuse, murder, and desecration of both grave sites and bodies. Listener discretion is advised.

Slightly south west of Chicago sits a cemetery who’s first burial occurred around 1834. There is about eighty graves there and through the decades; the cemetery fell into disrepair due to the elements, poor upkeep, and vandalism. This helps create the creepy atmosphere of this cemetery, but it is completed by countless sightings of ghosts. From a lady in white to a disappearing farm house, this graveyard is quite the supernatural hot spot.
