The Devil of the World's Fair

The Murder Castle, also known as the World's Fair Hotel, was home to the most prolific serial killer in America. H.H. Holmes designed his home as a maze that would trap its visitors into horrific scenarios where they would soon take their last breath. Holmes's real name was Herman Webster Mudgett, this alias was created with the intent of buying the hotel and creating his dream murder chamber. While he claimed to have killed more than 27 people in his castle, the conviction that led to his death was only one count of murder along with 50 other lawsuits in Chicago alone. Holmes was a con artist who manipulated his victims into lawsuits and used corpses as his way to get to the money. Holmes was executed by hanging in the Moyamensing Prison on May 7th, 1896. His final words were, "I was born with the devil in me. I could not help the fact that I was a murderer, no more than a poet can help the inspiration to sing".
