H.H. Holmes: The Dark Side of the Fair The Chicago World's Fair attracted 27 million visitors, celebrating Columbus's legacy. Amidst the festivities lurked H.H. Holmes, a cunning pharmacist who preyed on single women attending the fair. He meticulously planned his murders and built a mansion designed to trap victims, known as Murder Castle.
Murder Castle Unveiled Holmes lured unsuspecting women into his elaborate castle where he would gas them and dispose of their bodies in secret passages. His reign ended when he was arrested in 1894 after confessing to killing at least 27 young women before being executed in 1896.
