Between 1918 and 1919, New Orleans fell under the grip of a faceless horror—the Axeman. In this episode of Terror Bites, we dive into one of America’s most mysterious and theatrical serial killers. Victims were butchered in their beds with axes stolen from their own homes. The killer left no clues—only bodies and fear. But it wasn’t just the brutality that shook the city… it was the letter. A typed manifesto from “the hottest hell” claiming anyone playing jazz would be spared. The result? A night where music drowned out death. Was it a lone madman, a mafia message, or something more sinister? Join us as we unravel the blood-soaked legend of the Axeman of New Orleans—and why his tune still haunts the French Quarter today.
