The Villisca Axe Murder house is the scene of one of the most gruesome and violent crimes in the 1900's - it occurred in the early morning of June 10th, 1912 - and literally stole the headlines of one of the biggest news events of the time period "The Sinking of the Titanic" - Six members of the Moore family and two of their guests we found bludgeoned to death by an axe - victims of a serial axe murder.

In this episode - we find a mix of both True Crime, History and Paranormal - but as we dive into the story of the murder - we uncover some other things going on in and around the house.

In this third case - we tell the story of a sighting that occurred in Lockridge, Iowa in the late 70's - most infamous for being dubbed "the Lockridge Monster"

Case #2 of a mini series called "Bigfoot in Iowa"

In this episode we go into stories surrounding Bigfoot in the Yellow River State Forest, Other State Forest and State Parks around Iowa.

Probably one of the biggest stories in Iowa Bigfoot Sighting History - is the 1978 Ottosen, Iowa Bigfoot Sightings - so much that the Des Moines Register, and several other news outlets covered the story for years!

What makes these Bigfoot sightings so unique is the number of witnesses and stories that come together to point at something "bigger" at work behind the scenes. - Of course, there are some who vouge that it was all a hoax.

Regardless if you are a believer or a skeptic - the story still remains - and sheds more questions than answers at this point. What do you think? Is there Bigfoot in Iowa?

In this episode we go into the top 10 Paranormal Sites in Iowa - and naturally it differs by opinion - but most of the top 10 are some of the state's more well known paranormal stories.

**Just a quick note - I listened to this many times - and there are times when Villisca sounds like "VILLSICA" - my apologies in that - as it's just Villisca.** We have another episode coming up covering the Axe Murder House in a later episode.** and I'll make a careful consideration to make sure there isn't a different sound in the pronunciation.

How about some areas NOT mentioned in this episode? I would love to hear it. Thanks for listening.
