http://thoughtcatalog.com/christine-stockton/2014/10/a-man-dug-up-the-corpses-of-29-girls-turned-them-into-dolls-and-lived-with-them-in-his-bedroom/It’s hard to let your loved ones go after they die. Some people find it so difficult, in fact, that they bring their remains home with them. Hear about the true bizarre story of Carol Tanzler, a man who was never able to let his true love go, even long after she was dead and buried.

Ep. 4 – The Axeman

On the night of March 19, 1919, all the dance halls and bars and nearly every home in the city of New Orleans was blasting jazz all through the night. But this wasn’t any ordinary night of reverie in the Big Easy, for this city-wide concert was meant for an audience of one, an axe-wielding maniac who purported to be a creature straight out of hell.
