This week I’m back with another double feature on our Haunted Roadtrip across America but it feels more like a history lesson or a lesson in why humans are terrifying than it feels like a haunted history episode. Episode 34 takes us through Nebraska and Iowa where I share the grisly tale of not one, not two, but three true(ish) crimes that have now become paranormal legends.
We start off in the seemingly charming town of Valentine, Nebraska and make our way through Portal to Hearbeat Bridge and Hatchet House only to find ourselves at one of the worst locations I think I’ve ever covered… Annie Cook’s Poor Farm.
Finally we’ll travel to one of the most famous homes in America… the Villisca Ax Murder House. The events that occurred here took the Titanic off of the front page news across the country. An episode of The Vault has never felt so much like a true crime podcast before.
Join The Vault’s Haunted Roadtrip where each week we’re stopping in a new state to find the most haunted location until we’ve visited all 50 states. We dive into the real life histories, haunted stories, and share guest experiences from the towns and places that are the self proclaimed or unanimously voted most haunted location.
