Show Notes
Eight victims. Six of them children. One axe. A house that never stopped remembering.
In 1912, an entire family and two little girls were bludgeoned to death in their beds. The killer waited in the attic, covered every mirror, left a slab of bacon by the bodies, and vanished into the dawn. Never caught. Never solved.
Now: children's laughter from empty rooms. Footsteps circling a child's bed. Objects hurled by something that wants you gone. And small voices that answer when you ask their names.
By candlelight, in total darkness, Villisca reaches out and touches you.
Yvette explores the massacre, the suspects who walked free, and five paranormal theories. Plus this week's Fact or Fiction: did an investigator really stab himself inside the house?

More from Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding
A disused courthouse and police station in Accrington. The gates are locked from the inside and only two men are in the building. Then the doors start slamming. Footsteps run down empty corridors, and voices echo through the courtrooms. For forty minutes they chase the noise, convinced someone has broken in. Then they come back to find the camera and tripod they left in a corner have vanished.
Two listeners. Two encounters with something that refused to abandon its post.
We’re taught that science and the séance room are enemies. Cold reason on one side; candles, trances and table-tipping on the other. But that is not the whole story. This week, Yvette Fielding and her paranormal partner in crime Karl Beattie go somewhere they’ve never taken you before: not a ruined castle or a cold, empty asylum, but inside the minds of the men who built the modern world. The ones who gave us the telephone, the radio, the light bulb and the very theory of evolution — and who spent their nights in darkened rooms, straining to hear a whisper from the other side.
Two listeners. Two encounters with something that reached out. One through a child, one through the land itself.
