Episode Details

The Villisca Axe Murder House stands in the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa, the site of one of America’s most disturbing unsolved crimes. In June of 1912, eight people—six of them children—were murdered in their sleep. No one was ever convicted. No one was ever held responsible.

More than a century later, visitors say the story never truly ended.

Guests report footsteps moving through empty hallways, whispered voices from upstairs bedrooms, and an oppressive presence that settles in the dark. Some leave shaken. Others leave convinced they were not alone.

Is this residual energy—echoes of a single horrific night—or something still aware, still watching, still waiting?

Today on The Grave Talks, we’re joined by Kelly Mattson, historical property manager of the Villisca Axe Murder House, who walks us through the home’s history, the unsolved murders, and the paranormal activity that continues to define it.
