H. H. Holmes - Death Hotel - True Vintage Crime 

Proud to be a patron Oddie! Your content is so educational and intelligent - RU-vid's actions are insane. Please know how much your work is valued and appreciated by those with the ability actually to watch it and learn from it. Thank you so much for all that you do for us.

Thanks for your kind support and positive feedback Yvonne - very much appreciated :)

I'm going to find you on Patreon when this one is over. These are so awesome and clearly have had a lot of time put into them.

Thank you, we are grateful!

Demonetized? I get to watch commercials...someone is making money on your work.

THAT’S FUCKING WILD

I wonder if he forced her? Threatened her...?

@@afroatheist-isnowafroantit6154 why didn't I think of that? Guaranteed, that's what happened.....

@@milotheleopardgeckofriends796 I think so, too. We just can't imagine a Mom doing that.....but, he must've, being that he was so cruel.

She did know him tho, her husband and Holmes ran many schemes together. Plus she thought she was about to get paid off from her husband's life insurance that Holmes had. My guess is she thought this would ensure he would need to meet up with her again to at least get the kids back. Also, if I remember right they were wanted, her having no kids and him having a few to travel with created a disguise for them both

@@afroatheist-isnowafroantit6154 it's sweet u have such kind regards for mom's. Unfortunately I have heard of or known too many "moms", those who have the title but don't deserve it.

I read it a few months ago and couldn't put it down.

yes that was a great book

Thanks

The hunting grounds are now tragically in our back yards.

Good book, all of his books are good. I've read a few fo them.

So true, finishes the story off nicely doesnt it ?

@@ellygreaves9793 Indeed.

Personally, I wish they would have not honored his wishes and donated his body to a medical school.

Me too! It's so cool and adds to the be ambience.

Ikr! Like how does he even do it?!

I find them so eerie (which is not a bad thing).

I've seen and read lots of them. Possessed by Satan, that one.

@@musicluvrlaurie6827 Maybe his past abuse had something to do with it.. but still..no excuse for that!

Most things that make him well known are pure fiction.

DarkSkinnedDamsel definitely 😬

DarkSkinnedDamsel definitely 😬

Amen to ALL that!

Thank you so much Jen! That really pleases me that they are so well liked by you. Much appreciated my friend.

Me too im in the state of GA US on a dull sunday

In London 🇨🇦 on a dreary Wednesday morning. Enjoy your day wherever you might be good humans

in northern ontario on a sunny friday afternoon. oddie is top tier! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you very much for your kind feedback, much appreciated!

MysticWolf it does make me think that surely he’d have found his love for death eventually though, it was hardly avoidable

Katie Rasburn Agree. Bullied or not he would still go on to commit barbaric crimes.

Gail Miller Gail Miller I suppose we’ll never know. I remember watching a documentary on a man that was researching a so called murder gene that so many caught killers had. He later found out he also had the gene, he’d just never acted on or even thought of such things

Katie Rasburn Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

Maybe, but being bullied did not make him a scammer. He was just an awful person all around.

I'd go to one called the Creamatorium--always thought that would be a good name for an ice cream place. They could specialize in their hot fudge sundaes!

Nice catch!

Me too! He could put a macabre spin on the interior design and the menu and he'd make... a killing. 😏

Underrated thread.

Tbh a post office doesn't have to be in a former murder hotel to have bad juju, that's just overkill.

That post office is on the haunted Chicago tour. There's weird stuff that supposedly happens there.

Watch the My Haunted House episode called Torture Hotel on the TRVL channel. It's about a lady postal worker who found an old bottle like thing (forgot real name) in the crawlspace took it home and began seeing visions of Holmes. Her land lord told her about the torture hotel that once stood where the post office is now.

You know it.

@@jack2breeze I will be watching that for sure thanks for the info

Huge missed opportunity. They should have spent more time on the Hotel and less on vampires and a serial killer mystery where the killer was obvious half way through episode 1.

I briefly searched for any type of reference by the creators and found none. It feels like plagiarism. Not even 'inspired by real events'. It's about AHS's claim of unique original story lines. Given such uniquely grotesque details in every aspect something should have been acknowledged. I also Tweeted it. Tbh, I would encourage everyone who loves this channel to share and drive traffic here.

@@31webseries Lady Gaga did great, but that season would have been so much better focusing on the hotel aspect.

@@victrola2007 can't be plagiarism if the events were real life. lol

@@paulheap1982 *high school assignments would like to know your location*

Em22 uhhh ok? If you don’t wanna watch oddie don’t come here, but for your information oddies channel specialises in all sorts of vintage crime, both known and unknown. I think it’d benefit you to watch

@@Em22-wtf No body does videos like our Oddie can. He does all kinds of endless hrs of research and tells the full & real story of each case and he does many different cases.

@@ghostcityshelton9378 Thanks guys for the sweet support, I had to block that channel for commercial spamming :)

@@ObsoleteOddity I'll ALWAYS be in your corner , no matter what!! I have to deal with Patron today. They want me to re-put in my last 2 payments amounts and re-add my bank details,...why, ....they should already have it, I've been on Patron for some time now. I've written them 2 or 3 emails stateing I want to keep giving the same 'upped' amount and want to give them my new password, but I want to be sure they know I want nothing to do with Discord, after downloading that the 1st time I can't find it in my phone to take off!! So I HAD to down load the Discord gamer app, then shortly after that I found myself SIGNED OUT of Goggle...I didn't do that!! SO who did? My phone isn't activated right now so I can't use it as a 'phone', duh, thanks to paying phoney late charge fees the nasty apt manger's tactics, plus she keeps raising my rent without me having gotten pay raises. She'll be delt with in the not too distant future, she doesn't know I've gone to outsiders for help.😉 I AM NOT LEAVING PAYTRON, I'll try and get this mess sorted out. But if I RE-GIVE my bank details (they already have them) HOW do I know I'm not giving a HACKER my bank details, maybe the same hacker that sgined me out of Goggle ?!! ( I finely got a password change & straightened out there) What I'd like to do is have another small bank account to use for Paytron stuff but my apt manager would UP my rent if she knew I had a savings account!! , she already did that, and I wasn't getting any MORE $, she doesn't want you to have anything to fall back on. Hud makes folks do a reassessment each yr, and they have their nose in any bank acc. info, my manager made me go through 3 one after the another this past year!!! I had to re-pay the bank for the bank statements, I WON'T do that again. It's really hard not having a car. ANYWAY I'm only doing one reassessment from now on, and I'm not leaving her office till I get copies made of my bank statements !!! Live & learn ! In time she'll be answering for all this. I can't move untill she's delt with, her phoney late charge fee stuff means now wherever I would move to I'd HAVE to have the FULL deposit/rent up front, then also have to pay to move. Sorry for 'rambling!! But all this might help some other folks who are trying to live in a Hud run apartment. They (apt. managers) luv to play their games.....I WILL write a book about it one day.😂😁 Paytron thing...to be continued...

@@ObsoleteOddity GOOD 4 YOU!! for blocking the channel. Sorry that trolls like them have to be delt with.

Thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback 😊

Gotta look for that!

@@drakawinkle584 pretty sure i watched through Amazon prime video

Draka Winkle it is called American Ripper. It’s good for the historical pieces, but it’s best to disregard the entire theory that HHH was Jack the Ripper. The guy makes it sound convincing (he has a really interesting TED talk) but the facts really don’t line up as well as they like to portray in the show. Not dragging it, because I love the show, but just letting you know. :)

Lisa Kossik Yeah, how do you just hand over your kids

i know i'll be a mother someday. and i know i would never so daft as to entrust my children into the hands of complete strangers.

@@ObsoleteOddity I'm new to your channel. Your video presentations are excellent. I've enjoyed the Papin sisters, Lizzie Borden, & Borley Rectory thus far. Keep up the good work! Cheers from San Diego.👌

Thank you so much 🙂

and you have to wonder if the post office on that site is haunted..

Only "+ 'House of 1K Corpses'" 😱

She was trying to confuse spirits. He was trying to confuse victims.

shontapl I agree!!

No the Winchester house was made to confuse sprites. The sickco in this video made places to kill and torture people. Big difference.

@@shontapl Well said !!!

Thank you very much for your kind feedback, much appreciated!

Thank you very much for your great feedback, much appreciated!

Your welcome. 💖

Thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback Katy 😊

I can hazard a guess. Mostly because it would be deemed "mysoginist", "anti-feminist" and "glorifying violence against women". It would have to have a clear moral message at the end that "crime doesn't pay" or something. Frankly. that's for the best. I have seen what modern cinema did to Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express" (director: Kenneth Branagh aka Gilderoy Lockhart from Harry Potter films) to make it as progressive in its philosophies as possible, rewriting history and removing any semblance of common sense just so everyone feels included. It was a detective story, yes, but set in historical setting that you cannot change willy-nilly. Yet they did. I tried to turn my brain off and enjoy the show, but couldn't. The thought that cinemas are now closed due to COVID-19 and cannot spew such garbage anymore makes me happy. Rant over.

Thank you very much my friend for your very kind feedback!

Thanks for your great feedback Mark! Cheers! Glad you enjoyed the editing on the old photos.

Hey Susie that's cool you got to check out his property.Did anything interesting happen??

Big nope for me! You're brave!

@@craigm2209 no. But you could just feel the bad.

@@ladyfarona1988 it was a big group. 😉

It was on Ghost Adventures recently.

Thanks for the very kind feedback my friend, much appreciated :)

Thanks my friend! A great time to watch them is a rainy day - a good excuse to stay indoors and snuggle up under the blankets! :) Have a great weekend.

Punch I agree!!! Amazing book!!! Not only for HH Holmes, but it’s stories on the World’s Fair!! The planning that would go into the fair, it was jus as fascinating!!! I had heard it was going to be a movie with Leonardo DeCaprio, but then heard nothing more.....would have made a great movie!!!

Jill Anderson I know! I was just as fascinated about the building of the Worlds Fair as I was about H.H. Holmes. I couldn’t put the damn thing down! Yes, DiCaprio bought the book rights in 2010. He needs to hurry up and make the movie.

Punch I concur!!! I think he’s having issue trying to figure out how to seamlessly carry all the stories in a film.....I think he needs to make it a mini series and put it on tv! Or Netflix/HBO/Showtime and he can still get awards for it. A mini series would be awesome!!!!! He could take his time and tell the whole story!!!! LOL too bad no one would ask us what to do, *sigh* they will just butcher it. How sad!!!!

Jill Anderson A mini-series is a great idea. I agree that would be the only way to do justice to the material. There’s so much fascinating detail in both plot lines that it would suffer as a movie. Maybe we should start our own production company.? 🤔

Punch maybe we should!!! I’d be a great assistant 😉!! I can’t believe how many people allowed themselves to be killed by him!! He must have been one heck of a sweet talker!!!! He did admit to a whole bunch of murders-it could be a whole series!!!! Yeesh, never thought of that before.....I know the site is now a post office....but to show how he built the hotel, how he scammed, killed people he knew, plus guests of the hotel.....and the Worlds Fair in the background......it would be an amazing show!!!

Thanks for the very kind feedback, much appreciated :)

Thanks for the kind feedback my friend, much appreciated :)

Thanks for your great feedback my friend, very kind of you .)

Jeff Mudgett is full of shit. That show was to promote his book of the fictional account of Holmes.

Much appreciated! Thank you so much :)

I really appreciate your positive feedback - thank you very much :)

Thanks for the very kind feedback my friend, much appreciated :)

The hotel was mostly located next to the post office. A very small portion of the former location of the hotel overlaps with the post office.

@@avega2792 …..still used as PO storage, so I have been told. It’s in an area of the city I don’t venture to, tbh

@@WyattRyeSway look up Adam Selzer. He’s gone into the basement and explains it better than I could here.

That's a great compliment my friend, thanks very much :)

@@ObsoleteOddity You deserve it. I may have to campaign for you...your talent should not go to waste, it is impeccable.

@@cinnystacey3453 Bless you, very much appreciated :)

Thank you kindly!

Fur sure. I read the book about 5 years ago.

Always made me wonder after I read it. What else is going on. I don't know about

In the series the great great son did a lot of young girls came to Chicago for work and a lot of them where found stabbed to death the police put it down to suicide i think he murderered anyone he grew tired of grandson was convinced holmes was Jack the ripper who murdered 6 girls in London also they proved he was in London at the time ,

Thanks for the kind feedback my friend, much appreciated :)
