Report
Herman Webster Mudgett, known as H.H. Holmes, operated in Chicago around the 1893 World's Fair. He built a building later dubbed the “Murder Castle”, full of winding corridors and hidden rooms. He was also an insurance fraudster. He confessed to 27 murders, although parts of his confession proved false. Convicted of killing his business partner, he was hanged in Philadelphia in 1896.
