Ignoring the female narrator, who sounds more like that medium on Poltergeist (with a cold), this is a great documentary about a haunted house in Villisca Iowa. The axe-murder of Josiah Moore and his entire family in 1912 is considered one of the worst mass murders in US history. Since then, the house has had a series of renters and owners. Darwin Linn is the current owner, who hired paranormal investigator Dave Christensen of Paranormal Investigations, Inc. to check out the cold spots and creepy goings-on in that old house.

I listened to a former resident describe how she felt chilled when she saw a picture of the victims with an unknown drifter, and how the sight of his face sent a chill through her. Then I listened to the investigators describe an icy draft that makes visitors feel uneasy. Finally, I listened to Villisca Axe Murder House - EVPs. Put all this together, and it makes me wonder if this unknown stranger was the killer, as the former resident suggested. The killer was never caught, but he may still be lurking in that house, waiting for his victims to fall asleep.
