- Many people are familiar with the story of H.H. Holmes, a serial killer from Chicago who was executed in 1896 after confessing to 27 murders and sentenced to death. But how did they catch him?
In this video I go over some of the details about his capture.

I do not understand how there isn't a hollywood movie about this guy. I mean his true life story is straight out of a horror film.
Or a comedy
Actually Leonardo Dicaprio bought the rights to the film in 2010. A movie adaption of the book “The Devil in the White City”.
@@Marseb574 I heard that! I remember hearing that years ago. Well, it’s been ten years! What’s going on Leo!?
Devil in the white city.
Saw: Jigsaw's Roots (From the Book of Saw)
He's so deterministic to be evil. He straight up has money , family and constantly without fail always chooses the most evil option .
Qpl
Sometimes the satisfaction of a man is more than you think
Like Dio Brando
@@deeznutz5590 the satisfaction of dissecting someone ?
Devil does exist
I'd like to see someone write a Sherlock Holmes book where he stays at this hotel and has to get out and capture H.H. Holmes
You wonderful mad person 👀👀👀
I think that's a good idea, but it may undermine the work of the actual police officers
Holmes vs Holmes
@@phobos2076 There can only be one.
@@lazarus8018 what if jack the ripper stayed at that hotel?
"She-sherlock Holmes?"
"No, Watson."
" *H. H. HOLMES* "
Facts
@@ryanbetts7571 They shortened the first and last names just to highlight Holmes. Cringe.
@@daemon2470 shut up
@@pfmzk why? you shut up.
@@daemon2470 your being rude over a joke
What he did to that guys kids is unforgivable it gives me chills of sadness.
As opposed to the other murders that were forgivable I presume
@@MizManFryingP No they’re all unforgivable
@@MizManFryingP but the childs ones were even worse. They got to live for so little..
I'm always intrigued by the stories of serial killers in the 19th century because serial killers really weren't prevalent or popular until around Ted Bundy's time.
ok
True.I wonder why they are more common now.
Just because we are more aware of them now does not mean they were uncommon. After all, modern organized police is hardly a hundred years old.
@@harrietharlow9929 , because media is more widely accessible.
Conspiracy I think not. It's the people that you would think.. Ah that person would never do that. Power money or fame. Priming us for the horrors to come out about who really is who to be continued.
Ah, it's been a few months. Now I'm back to learn new things from Infographics Show
I love listening to these with just headphones and cleaning my room ✨
Same
@@simpletoastvibes The one thing that's bad is that my sister spilled all of my makeup on my carpet 🥲
@@L0v3lesss__ hello
Same except without headphones lol
I do the same thing except ill also play it when im driving too
*Alternate Title: Sherlock Holmes's Relative Busted!*
There’s a reason Sherlock because a detective
🤣🤣
It gets even better when you see the name as Hank Hill Holmes
True in this universe its how hh holmes was cought in qnother its sherlock holmes relative busted.
@@YourBeety Know Do You English?
Could've used this video last year for my psych project lol
Or you could think about how psychology is more than just crazy killers and mental illness. Lol
You could have also just done your research yourself instead of waiting for someone else to do
PSA: Do Not use Infographics videos as confirmed factual information. You’ve only got a 50/50 shot what they said is actually true.
@@Stowneyo that's literally what I did
@@arinhash then why did you need this video last year?youre just lazy or something?
I love the sounds the characters make 😂 especially the yells
Out of context that is very weird
AhHhHhHhHhHh
I especially love it for scp explained. Waaaay to comedic for that but it fits.
Same
Ayayaya
So this is where WWE got the inspiration for “Triple H”
No, not at all
😂
Lol the cerebral assassin nickname makes more sense now 🤣
I literally was just thinking that 😂
“It’s time to play the game” seems like something H.H Holmes would have said.
The two dislikes are his accomplices
LOL
What a gravely discovery....
He Has 38 Accomplices Now. This Rabbit Hole Runs Deep!

This was a gruesome story. I’m not going to lie. I laugh at some parts. Not the murders. But, Holmes as a con artist
It's sad how many people especially innocent females were easily manipulated in those times 😭😭
I laugh (in a shocked but expected sorta way) at the nature of the guy who at every turn goes out of his way to be evil, sad as it is for people, I guess it's got something to do with a cartoon character with a funny looking mustache up to some unthinkable wickedness that strikes me as humourous in a surreal sense. It's that or discomfort trying to process the pace of the video, as the torrent of his evil acts are divulged with such ease, one after the other, and as a way to process it all - similar to how people nervous laugh during traumatic stress as a coping mechanism.
I swear this is where i’m getting my nightmares but still watch
Nothing gets me more than the utter hypocrisy of him asking for his dead body not to be dug up and tampered with. Like dude….dUDE, you have no right to be asking for that!!
Fun fact: the prison where HH Holmes was hung is now an Acme supermarket.
Also I've read that no one knows the exact floor plan of the building because it was build by multiple contractors.. Each time he would quarrel with and fire them.. Actually it was his tactic so that no body would know the exact floor plan
Very possibly Jack the Ripper. He was in London at the time and bears a striking resemblance to the eyewitness description of Jack. His descendants claim that they were one and the same.
He has no known descendants, because the ripper's identity is still unknown.
I listened to a podcast about this. It was very convincing
Yes.
Their MOs are too different. And HH was in the US the whole time, not London. Travel took too long back then so he couldn't go back and forth that fast. Still so fascinating as a criminal though
@@missmarci1 Last Podcast did an amazing series on this and it's funny
This story has some huge holes, no sane person would let 3 of their kids leave with a stranger they never met before. There's so many different versions of this story that it's impossible to know if any of it actually happened.
Dude, I literally searched up, “Why do girls take so long to reply?”
The infographics show is very consistent with providing incredibly great quality videos to us.
👏🏽👏🏽
Devil in the White City by Eric Larson is one of my favorite books all about this I highly recommend
I couldn't finish it. The descriptions of how he dismembered his wife and stepchild were too much for me.
There is a book, devil in the white city, about H.H. Holmes and his murders during/at the world’s fair, and also about the designers building the world fair. I definitely recommend the books.
This is by far the greatest channel ever made
Sherlock Holmes in alternative timeline: A detective
Sherlock Holmes in OUR timeline: A serial killer
Scotland Yard: Mr Holmes we need you to arrest Mr Holmes Sherlock Holmes: alright then
For some reason, these channel videos helps me relax from my anxiety.
One of the most sadistic killers ever and yet I only heard of him from a Supernatural episode
He was also on "Timeless", the series.
@@Litha_Dyonasegood to know
“When the bodies hit the dissecting table” doesn’t have the same ring to it as let the bodies hit the floor 😂😂
He was also suspected to be Jack the Ripper
Personally I Believe He Was.
@@user-tm6im9nt1z I personally believe that as well.
But the ripper killings were in London, not the usa
@@michaeljoseph1721 Holmes actually went to London multiple times.
The ripper was much more violent in how he killed. It would be quite a change in M. O.
Fun fact, they did dig that THING up. Few years ago actually. There's footage of it.
i cant imagine being in a pitch black room that you cant sit down in and starving to death. jesus christ!
Who said it was pitch black or that they couldn’t sit down………..?
Pls do ed kemper pls
Anyone remember Last Podcasts on the Lefts coverage of H H Holmes
My name in Minnie and this is my Sister Nanny
HI IM NANNY.

Murderous psychopathy aside, If your name was Herman wouldn't YOU want to change it?!
This is got to be who the American horror story hotel season is based on
It Is.
Love your videos
Thx recommended
U guys make my. Quarantine better
Well we know how Sherlock gets when he’s without a case :)
Oooh! Never thought about who blew the whistle on this.
As a Chicagoan, this was an eye opener.
This MAN
he took killing to Whole other lvl!!
Just when it's 2am and I was about to go to sleep
Awesome 👍 video ☺️.... Thank you... Be safe everyone 😜...
One of most prestigious and respected prep high school in the country.
Dang it only takes me like a few hours to catch humans in my forest, what took you guys so long
hi
Big foot when you gonna come out to the public huh i want a high five 😂😂
I'd change my name if that was my last name too 😂
what animation program do you use?
Love this channel can watch for hours. I need to be sleep gotta go to work but can't stop watching 😂
I think he was also Jack The Ripper! 🤔
Wasn't jack the ripper a cop?
@@ShintaroShadow I mean we don’t know that he could have been but that’s just a Theory! 🤔
@@josephcarvil9474 😯
Agreed.
It actually sounds like it could've come from a Sherlock Holmes story.
In my recent family tree I have the names Mudge and Manson. At least I have an excuse for being a born serial killer enthusiast.
Is this a reupload? I swear I've seen this on the channel before
Yo fr
Same
Maybe I will search for it
They did make another video about Holmes but not the same as this one unless they deleted it
some videos are about the killer and some are about how they caught it
Dudes house was the mansion from resident evil
For a more accurate account of H H Holmes, read "H H Holmes: The True History of the White City Devil" by Adam Selzer.
Where that building used to be is now a Post Office. Esp. in the basement & sometimes thoughout the building weird things happen.
Smells of cigar smoke, slaming doors, packages moved.
Crazy stuff took place back in the day...Maybe some souls can't or won't move on...who knows.🤘👻💖
Why was the first thing that came to my mind Sherlock Holmes?
It came to everyone's mind😬
The perfect example of a monster pretending to be human. What a absolutely vile and disgusting person.
Reminds me of the surgeon “Martin Whitly” from prodigal son 👀😂
Was he Jack the Ripper? He has surgical training and at one point I think Scotland Yard theorized that the Ripper was actually American
I love history now
I think I know where they got the inspiration for Jigsaw
His crazy torture dungeon was diabolically clever. My channel did a video about serial killer lairs and dungeons and one guy was able to hold several women "Silence of the lambs" style by putting them in a deep hole.
38 seconds a new record but I can’t see the 24 comments
I just was thinking of this channel
Could you do a Video on Ed Kemper?
best show around.... FACTS
Just a note: William A. P. White, better known under his pseudonym of "Anthony Boucher," also used 'H. H. Holmes" as a pseudonym.
If there is a sequel for "at the dead of night" it should be like this
Noti gang🤟🥶🥶
Born "Herman Webster Mudgett" is reason enough to change your name.
this channel makes me regret not picking history gcse
Did more research and apparently sherlock was born 13 years before hh holmes was born
Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character created by Arthur Conan Doyle
You guys at the infographics show already did a video on H.H.Holmes
The real jigsaw
I can't believe this guy doesn't have a movie.
They have a game name the devil in me
Its like Sherlock Holmes arch nemesis.
just think, in an alternative universe this guy is probably an ace detective instead of the killer you see before you.
This man’s basement was Light Yagami’s dream when he built the drawer trap
Why would there be a market for harvested organs before the age of transplants?
The killer hustler. Guy was innovative and hardworking
I'm surprised Skynd hasn't made a song about him yet. I feel like they could make a really good one with his story.
Can you do a video about how they caught the 22. Caliber killer?
H H Holmes was born in in my town, right next to the town hall 😳
why am i watching this. its like midnight
Why isn't anyone calling themselves an investigator trying to find out who is hiring the serial killer types? Is it because they are afraid to since they might lose their paid job when doing so?
I learned about this guy in my forensics class
I drive by the site often, It's a post office now. Some employees refuse to go in the basement 😳
Well, you got me.
The Pinkerton detective agency also helped catch him
Noti gang
Someone was buying all those body parts. Only a few people could really ice them at the time and get them into people after they had been out the body already for probably far too long. What was happening to those body parts? Seems like worth a mention.
0:58, did someone let the animator know it's supposed to be 1861?
Sometimes i tink that Vigilantys and Lookouts in the past would be very usefull...
I wonder if infographics knows about Ivan Milat
Fun fact: This is an infographics repost!
You're welcome! 😄😋
This guy is the real saw
could’ve sworn they’d already done a video on this
His great great grandson had a show called American Ripper
Great, now I can't sleep 💤 😴
