I was listening to this documentary yesterday whilst ironing,
and it's really creepy.... one of the scariest documentaries I've ever seen.

An unknown axeman crept into peoples homes across the US
and hid himself in the attics of the houses for a couple of days,
before coming down into their bedrooms at night
and beheaded entire families and children
while they were sleeeping during the Victorian era.

He didn't steal anything and robbery wasn't a motive.
He sent a sinister note taunting the police calling himself as
'The Angel of Death'.

He killed at least 60 people in the US.

It's believed he came from Germany
and that he slaughtered people in Germany too with his axe
after hiding in peoples homes and attics for days.
