I'm kinda surprised no one's mentioned this but in the Victorian era, it was common practice to draw the curtains and cover the bodies after death. They would also cover mirrors to prevent spirits from being "trapped in the looking glass". They murders were only a decade after Victoria died, so the practices were likely still common, even in America. If anything, it sounds like the murderer did these funerary practices to prevent the spirits from coming after them.

Just what I took from this investigation. On the spirit box, I heard one similar voice coming up consistently. Saying similar things, in different rooms. Phrases like “ can’t stop “, “help me”, “ im miserable “ said over and over makes me think they weren’t talking to a family, they were speaking to a regretful spirit of a murderer, trapped on earth.

There's a book called the man from the train that argues this case is part of the pattern of a single serial killer (I wasn't convinced by the books theory personally after looking further into it). However what I did learn from that book was that there were a surprising amount of family annihilations with an axe from 1908 to 1914. This same scenario happened way more than you'd want to believe. Like way way more. There was a lot of "why them" going on when I read that book

Spirit boxes aren’t a scam designed to spit out words but they do demonstrate a profound misunderstanding of how radio signals work. If you’ve ever been tuning a radio manually, you know that you start to pick up a signal before it is clear and it takes some fiddling to really get the station in clear especially on AM radio. Some stations have very powerful signals which cover a lot of frequencies, some have quite weak signals and can be overwhelmed by stronger ones. So even though the box is ticking through radio station frequencies very quickly the fact you can get a word or two just means they’ve hit a major station with a powerful signal.

Also, the covering of the mirrors in the home suggests that the killer was oddly being respectful of the souls.

They also had a tendency to stop clocks at the time of death.

I have a theory: What if the murderer was someone close to the family and was invited to their house? The murderer might've used some kind of untraceable poison in their food/drink which settled in and knocked most of the family out in their sleep. Except for Lena, who didn't have as much as the rest of the family. After the murderer did whatever he did, he covered up the mirror because he was superstitious. Anyways, as a Boogara myself, I don't think this house is haunted. There's a lack of strong/clear evidence that can show proof of ghosts. Also, 1912 really was NOT the year. Villisca Ax Murder House, Titanic sinking...

Some houses are just creaky. My childhood home was only 20 years old when we moved in but it's always been super creaky. However, when you live in a house like that, there's so much random creaking from the house settling that if someone were moving around (carefully) you'd probably not wake up because you're so used to the sound.

Interesting theory: it's noted that a number of axe murders at the time were committed near train tracks. A man and his daughter writing an investigative book on the subject theorized that this was because the man was a traveler, but here's another possibility: perhaps the killer's movements (and murders) weren't heard because they timed their attacks to when trains were passing by, using that noise as cover?

it might just be me, but when the murderer was saying 'stop it' and 'stop me', im almost certain i heard the words 'it won' shortly after from the spirt box, this makes me wonder if the killer had mental health issues and perhaps a voice or hallucination continuously bothered them with intrusive thoughts until they snapped and couldnt take it anymore, they seem genuinely sorry as well so i wonder if it was indeed psychological issues that prompted this killing spree anyway, have a good day

Every investigation I see of this place the evidence always includes a man asking people to stop him. I have a feeling the killer was so lost to madness that he was outside himself. I almost feel like those responses come from him watching himself commit the crime. So much adrenaline and pure madness that time was distorted, his view of self was distorted, he was outside himself. He covered any reflection and couldn’t bare to look at any human face. The rush of the kill terrified him as much as it thrilled him. He had no control and he submitted to that, he let himself be consumed. But that’s just my own opinion.

@@shengloongtan229 Thank you, for your work as a fellow Shaniac. Also those flashlights switch on and off due to expansion and retraction of the reflector around the bulb by heat. Sometimes you can see them screwing off the top of the flashlight until it slightly touches the contact to the battery. Then the expansion and retraction happens and that's why its turning on and off. And those EVP-"detectors" that are common in the ghost hunting community might as well be disfunctional detectors that are not calibrated well to static noise.

It would explain the responses: "It's hard to stop" "Stop me" and "Help me". Perhaps now they're finally regretting what they did and they're begging to be released?

It seems to me that the crime was personal because of the weapon used. This person was filled with rage and they seemed to know when they would be home that they waited in the attic. Another reason I think it was personal was because they seemed to show remorse for what they did to their victims by putting cloth on them to cover their faces. They also stuck around the house after the crime. They seemed to know the house and were comfortable inside.

@@miss_conduct. it's one thing to be treated as an tourist spot in a place where crime happened 100 years ago, but the people of the town treated it like a show and inflitrated the crime scene when the bodies were still in the house, and the Sheriff let them. It's truly horrifying.

For postmortem: On the topic of the killer covering all of the faces, mirrors, and windows, covering mirrors after death was also a common tradition around the time to prevent spirits from getting trapped in them. It was almost like the murderer was mimicking the rituals of a family member, respecting them enough to try and ease their souls’ passage into Heaven. So in addition to the killer being ashamed, the mirror thing could also suggest that the family was murdered by someone who knew them personally (or maybe they were just afraid of the spirits coming back for revenge).

The face covering thing is also a common thing for killers who know their victims personally to do. So, I definitely think it was either a family member or someone like a neighbour or good friend of the family who did it.

This is considered basically solved!! You've GOT to read Man from the Train by Bill James & Rachel McCarthy James, about this case and others. Basically, the guy was a prolific axe murderer of families across the United States for decades, but never caught because of the way information wasn't shared then like it is now. At the end of the book, the authors think they've solved it. I read it over a year ago and I still think about it at least once a week.

I don’t trust the spirit box but I find it incredibly interesting with the “what is it?” As it sounds like a women who has just woken up. The couple seconds of when you just wake up and don’t know what’s happening. Reminds me a lot of when I would shake my mother awake. The raspy voice where you can hear pure confusion. Made me form the storyline of the mother hearing something and then waking up and saying “what is it?” Expecting her husband to have already been awake and alarmed but she was killed before she entirely woke up.

I did a course in criminal psychology and there is a lot of things that does not make sense in this case but what stands out the most to me is: Covering up the victims is a classic move done by killers who knew them personally and/or instantly regretted it after doing it. Very common in crimes of passion. The fact he entered and exited the house easily also adds to the fact that the family probably knew the murderer. Also adds to the things heard in the spirit box like "Stop me" and "I'm miserable". I don't think who did this was the "murder is fun" kind of person. If I had to guess: a very troubled man who was in love or had an affair with the wife - it would explain why the husband was killed in a more violent manner when compared to the others.

It was most likely a visiting pastor. The morning of the day the family was murdered they went to sunday service and there was a visiting pastor there. There is a theory that they might have invited the pastor over which apparently was a common thing to do. That explains why it was easy for him to enter and exit and maybe even why the doors were locked. The pastor who visited the town was also known to be a weirdo and possibly a pedophile. The mirrors being covered up also makes sense since it seems like it had a religious intent. The pastor later admitted to murders saying god whispered him to do it but he acquitted somehow cause they didn’t have evidence against him. Oh also he left the town the next morning of the murder and he apparently told people in the train station “there are bodies murdered in (the name of the town i don’t remember) and he said that before the bodies were found apparently.

Well, yes, but considering the time of the crime, it might’ve been superstition. Back then they covered mirrors and reflecting surfaces, so the soul wouldn’t be trapped. There’s also something about the eyes being windows to the soul, so the murderer might have tried to make sure the spirit didn’t go anywhere by covering their faces. One of the victims even had their eyes gouged out, so it doesn’t really come across as regret, but rage and superstition to me at least.

That's true, the serial killer theory IS really solid - the book "The Man From The Train" by Bill James links the Vilisca murders to a whole string of frighteningly similar axe murders all over the country, following a distinct pattern, and following the trains. It's scary how many people this single madman might have killed, and although it reaches sometimes, the book's worth a read.

Ryan and Shane's conversation about hooves and unicorns is legit how I and my husband talk to each other. He's way more of a Shaniac whereas I am more in the middle. I believe that something exists that we as humans cannot understand, but I do not think that ghosts are going to act how they're portrayed in movies and TV. I have had my own experiences with things that I cannot even begin to understand but sound kind of implausible. But ghosts like on TV or in Hollywood movies? That's a hard no.
