This one is a bit different. How did you feel about the tour?
It was such a creative and unique idea!
I want more!
I love this type of format! Do more please! :D
Amazingly done! you guys are so talented! :)
The Infographics Show very nice 👍
Please don’t ever change this narrator‼️🙌🏽
What about the old narrator?
@@RRoxas65 booo, The old one honestly (and I know he is) just seems so clearly like hes reading from a piece of paper! However this guy sounds so natural!
Whatever did happened to the first narrator?
@@Davidwantstodeportaliens he ninja vanished
@@KennyMcCormick99 i Miss him tho.
People have been murdered, tortured in this house: White people in horror movies: I'll take it
@pranjay Taneja so true
Loooool very true😂
But isn't it always the black guy who dies first in a horror movie?
@@termitesc.aardwolf3644 that's the racism
Some people in real life: I'll take it
This sounds like a great setting for a Luigi’s Mansion game
Yeah except I would quit almost immediately after getting lost for the 100th time
@@pastelidiot8027 how about a metroidvenia game
Welcome to Luigis mansion 4 this time Luigi gets murdered
Shut up Luigi ia horrible
Underrated 😂😂
Me clicking on this video thinking about Sherlock Holmes in a castle
*Reality H.H.Holmes and haunted castle*
JackWill GameMore wrong Holmes lol, I did same thing.
that's a different Holmes, this one is the wrestler
oh wait... different H.H.H.
Stop
Lowkey, Holmes, and Watson probably did investigate a haunted castle at some point in their career.
@@tiffa808 They kind of did, if you count the "House of Fear" movie from the 1940s. But that wasn't a castle, so much as it was a gigantic and old house.
Every time he says “Mr. Holmes” I can’t help but think of Sherlock Holmes.
Erik Larson explains in his book that Mudgett took the name of Holmes on purpose, exploiting the world -wide fame of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's literary creation.
I'm from down the street!!! Everyone gets freaked out when I tell them this story. This area is really an intriguing gem in Chicago.
minaa i use to stay in 60618, im guessing thats not too far from 60621
I currently stay in 60618. 60621 is a bit far and encompasses Englewood so better to avoid it
Wish it was still there, could have been a cool tourist spot.
I love how the tour guide simply implied that H.H. Holmes was a weird guy and only getting the real story in the end.
This was different I'm glad I knew the story of H H Holmes before I watch this video otherwise I would have been totally lost
I didn't know a thing about HH Holmes. This is exciting to me since I use to work in the area for almost 6 years. I went inside of the post office several times to mail packages. When the narrator said the address, I had an idea, what was standing in it's spot, the post office. There is a Walgreens across the street and a grocery store too. A college is down the street.
EXACTLY
People: We are gonna just take a tour through this castle.
H.H Holmes: I don't think so.
This is just wigging me out. I was in that so called castle (now the post office) to buy some stamps.
@@questionresearch8721 *Lucky, I wish I could go check out the castle. Hope you seen many things over there*
@@icedragon6550 where the castle was located, the post office is there. I went inside of the post office a few times to send packages. What shocked me at the beginning of the video was the address. The Englewood neighborhood has alot of rich history.
@@questionresearch8721 Cool.
Indeed, indeed.
Wow. Y'all really killed it with this video.
XD. Definitely *killed* it!!!
I see what you did you there...
*E X A C T L Y*
H.H.Holmes: You can stay in the “castle” forever
People: So it’s free?
H.H. Holmes: No but you can stay here forever >:)
'Ight imma head out.'
This was my history class for today.
What school do you go to? We just did something about it in school to
I’m sure there is an Air B&B set up like this somewhere.
If there is hopefully I'm not the one that's book it but if so I'll pay close attention on how I enter

H.H. Holmes: Hold My Beer

@@v.emiltheii-nd.8094 yep
"Devil in a White City" is a great book on H.H.Holmes!
Agreed
It is, however I was not a huge fan of the architect part of the the story
Dakota Prater i dont think anyone was tbh
I heard Scorsese is directing a series called that title starring leonardo as H.H.
Could you guys talk about the states of matter. Not just the first 4 but the whole 17 it’s really interesting to me.
The what.
Love the way you told the story. It’s made me feel like the guest who took on a tour in this castle👏🏻
NPC alert
@@kemidoesgaming5106 Human spotted
I recommend reading ‘Devil in the White City’ by Erik Larson. It starts off with 2 stories, one about architecture and the Columbian exposition, the other about H.H. Holmes, his life, charm, and tactics.
I literally just finished the book at my school. It was really interesting and to see how Holmes' mind worked.
Bianca Estrada Larson does a extraordinary portrayal of each of the characters and the juxtaposition of both stories and then both collide at the end. I learned a lot from this book, though I thought it’d be dull initially. Definitely an interesting read!
If it was written now it would be called the Black City lol
@@drphot6050 Chicago was referred to as the Black City in the book several times, actually. The White City is in reference to the Colombian Exposition
I CANT WAIT for Martin Scorsese to start directing this movie staring Leonardo Dicaprio!!!
It's called, "The Devil in the White City."
Damien X they’re turning it into a movie? Well there goes my cool history facts I can share with people cuz everyone will know about it 😔
@@taylortea3429 honestly don't think that movie is gonna be released anytime soon. The Irishman was supposed to be out in 2016 or something as a comparison
Me: (Gets up to get some water)
Tour Guide: Miss, please don't wander away-
Me: (Turns around in horror) o-o
I love how the presentation of this video was laid out.
If he was around today he would probably have an Air B&B. No one around to leave bad reviews.
I can't be the only one who thought about Sherlock Holmes when reading the title.
It happens folks, it happens.
One guy in the comments thought it was John Holmes.
Hello to anybody using this video to learn more about "The Devil In Me"
The hotel in American Horror Story: Hotel was based on HH Holmes's castle.
Actually it was based on The Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles where they found that girls body rotting in the water tank and everyone had been drinking/bathing in the water ..
@@nocilantro_gack Yeah but Mr. March is based on Holmes. The Hotel is based on Cecil.
@@nocilantro_gack it’s based on both hotels, the writer said
I love your guys' work! It is awesome learning of all these facts. Thanks! Keep up the AWESOME work!
Great episode. You should do more tour episodes for other places too.
is it just me or y do i want to take a tour through this place
I agree. I'm kinda sad they tore it down.
Mmmm...it's just you!
I first thought of Sherlock Holmes.. my bad y’all, wrong detective XD
Please sub to BBBnose
BBB NOSE no
611 W 63rd St Chicago, IL is now a U. S. Post Office? 🤷♂️😂
antiisocial yes cause his hotel was ripped down the only thing n that spot that’s still made from him is the basement
You don't say? I mean they really should have mentioned that in the video🙄 (sarcasm because they did mention it)
@@bobthegoat7090 imaging using a old meme you're soooooooo funny
Man!!! imagine if some millionaire could convince the government to sell them that land and then they put up a reincarnated version of that castle... it would be an absolute awesome idea and obviously make a lot of money!!!
@@KennyMcCormick99 man ur that guy who is like "lets go check out the sound in the attic" in the horror movies
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME CHANNELS I'VE CAME ACROSS YET!! LOVE THE ANIMATION!! BRILLIANT!! BRAVO!!
Such a creative way to tell this story!
This is one of best videos
12hours ago???
Spicy Guts he had the link I’m pretty sure
Tf
Really enjoyed this videos format. It was a lot of fun.
The _overlook_ :ima give creep all y’all tf out and when I’m done-
The castle: hold my beer
I did a paper on H.H. Holmes in 9th grade for my BioMed Honors class!
I love the unique start of the video.
So this is where Saw got the inspiration for their films and traps then by the sounds of it
With the release of The Devil In Me, this video and many others on HH Holmes will probably get a healthy surge of views for a little while.
At least I hope so! His story isn't as well known as it should be given his infamy.
I had no idea it was real
@@dougr8646 The Dark Pictures series seems to pull from something historical, like the Ouran Medan possibly being a real ship that was discovered with all the crew dead with expressions of horror on their face, Little Hope pulled from the Salem witch trials, House of Ashes greatly expounding on the Sumerian sacrifice frenzy before the civilisation fell, and now Devil in Me being a modern killer inspired by H.H. Holmes.
I don't think Directive 8020 can really pull from much historically, so I'm expecting it to be taking cues from iconic sci-fi horror.
Please do more of these videos on murderers!! Love these
Well done. I've studied H H Holmes for years, finding facts over fiction. Good job.
Daniel, can you recommend any good books on the subject? Thanks
the story of H.H Holmes is a very interesting one.
9:02 Holmes claimed the giant furnace in his basement was for glass bending giant panes (hence the size)....this is what he used for body disposal, the smaller furnace was for getting rid of personal items/evidence...At least that’s what was in Erik Larson’s book, Devil in the White City (if you haven’t read it, I implore you to...it is FANTASTIC) 💓💗💖
Legend says that the asbestos killed more then he ever did.
H.H Holmes?
*puffs cigarette*
Haven’t heard that name in a while.
I'm surprised they haven't made a modern movie about this guy I think they made a old movie about this guy back in the 40's or 50's
More spooky tour episodes please!
i like the way this video is set up. it's entertaining and informative.
Cool storytelling 🌟⭐️
This is amazing. I loved it.
awesome video 😊
"3 mins ago?"
*Yes please*
Very well done 👍
I love this concept for a video.
Love this
There's a hotel in my town. The owner is also a doctor. I'm concerned.
Please do one about some haunted places
This was a clever idea
I liked it
Hey! Cool video!
actually the reason why he switched construction companies was because of a technicality in construction hiring law that stated that workers would only be due payment for work if they worked for a certain time frame. holmes fired workers just short of this time, killing anyone who tried to sue him. and they all did. in the end he had the entire place built effectively for free.
I'm gonna reference this video for my research about Serial Killers
Crazy. I'm watching though supernatural right now and I just watched this guys episode today
I watch a few vids about this hours ago. Seems like @Theinfographicshow read my viewing habits loll
like the way this video was setup !
First person explanation made the video feel strange, not gonna lie.
im finna buy it and continue his work

I love how much detail my dudes gives in the house like hes going to sell it :). I google maped the area its now an aldi lol 😭😂
Best channel ever
thanks god this tour guide isnt a detective
I like this style, can you find another subject to treat this way?
Love getting here early-ish
There totally needs to be a movie on this man
there is
@@Bibiana862 called?
If only this were in London instead of Chicago.
Mr. Holmes would have gladly rented out a barber shop on the first floor to a loyal tenant, Sweeny Todd, a renowned local barber. Maybe his partner can work in the restaurant's kitchen, she's said to make excellent meat pies.
I have a question how do you get all this info and how do you manage to make video at least once per 2 days
When I worked in Englewood, Chicago I did not know there was a book based on a serial killer who lived in Englewood. The book name is the Devil in the White City. I found out about the World Fair. In the area now is a post office.
guilty pleasure .. I only watch the infographic's videos only if it's this narrator
They should do a movie based on this killer. I would watch that movie as long as it was done right
Noice vid bro
i live in fort worth. i was familiar with the Holmes story, but i had no idea he tried to build a second hotel here....yikes
This guy was mentioned in my social studies class-
I can kinda tell this one is slapped together very quickly
Deja Vu. I had seen this video before. In a dream😨.
1:18 just look at the lower window
Timeless
confessed 27, convicted 9, attempted 6, suspected 200
I like this dude way with words lmbo
Make video about island Pitcaurn ! Trust me its so interesting
Holmes is as terrifying as he is interesting.
I use to go in that post office. I worked at the local library. 😂😂😂🤭🤭
Nice being early.
5:08 "no windows"
>window in the back
🧐🤔 This reminds me of a game I play.
I have never been this early before.
Do a vid on Ed Kemper
I’ve been wanting to recommend him
He’s from near where I live
I love this narrator lol
Do Alexander The Great please and thank you I’m still learning about him
