So, the Hub thing didn't work out because, honestly, I couldn't care less and didn't have the patience. So, I'm not doing it. I haven't been here for a while, because I moved and haven't really been into the serial killer stuff for a long time. I'm not sure if I'll continue or not, I guess I'll have to see how everything goes. On a not so serial killers note, I'm writing a book about the Greek gods. If you're interested, I just posted the first two chapters and prologue on figment.com. It's action/adventure, not horror, sorry guys. Love ya!
Love, Kalyn
PS: I was going to have Kalyn be my pen name, but I was thinking of having it be Lyndie or something like that. We'll have to see, like I said before. lol.

Hub

I'm in the middle of a Hall of Horror about this guy called John List, who freaks me out quite a bit, but I took a break for a while so it's unfinished so far. I just that I'd pop in and let you guys know that I joined this thing called the Hub and I'm taking the Hall of Horrors that I've written and making a little Hub thing on it. I'll still be writing here, but it's going to be my first one and I want it to be on something I've pretty much already written and all that. Idk. I'm letting you guys know just in case you read it and think "Hey, I read that somewhere! Did they copy it?!" And all that. Thanx:)

A Redo, A Break, & A Question

Hey guys:) Kalyn here! Introduction will now be followed by an explanation. The title states what this post will be about. And since I've posted a lot of "update" titles, I used my imagination for this one(not that it was hard, lol). Now:
A Redo: For a while I was trying to get Behind the Knife published. Then school started again and I was in Health Class. We took notes and all that fun stuff(not) but then the teacher got to the topic of metal diseases and illnesses. Schizophrenia is not multiple personalities(some of you may have known that but I sure didn't). It's when you have voices in your head. Multiple Personality Disorder is when you have... uh, well, multiple personalities... And of course, that fascinated me. It was at that moment that I got the idea to redo Behind the Knife. I mean, Behind the Knife was suppose to be sci-fy, but in my opinion it didn't really turn out that way, it was more of bridging on fantasy>.< So now I will be redoing it, and instead of Heather being a completely different person, she's going to be Gwendolyn's "alter ego". Unfortunately it has gone no where. I hope it will so, though.
A Break: I was working on On All Fours, but I, unfortunately, have run into the deadly Writer's Block(duh, duh, duhhh!). So I will we be taking a little break from it and hope that the block will, well, move or disappear. I don't care where it goes. I just don't want it standing in my way.
& A Question: You don't have to answer this, but I was just wondering. What scares you to death? What are you afraid of? What do you think I can put in my horror books that would make it difficult to sleep at night?
Thanx:) <3 Kalyn

HALL OF HORROR: Eddie Gein

Some of you may have seen the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I have to admit: I don't watch gory horror movies. I watch supernatural horror movies, with ghosts and all that. I don't really like the gory stuff. Funny, since I read about it and write about it. Lol. Now, where was I?? Oh yeah, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That movie was based on the serial killer Eddie Gein.

Eddie Gein's childhood was empty, as his mother was stiffly religious and would not allow him to make any friends. His mother would often verbally abuse him, convinced that her children, Eddie and his older brother Henry, would go to Hell. In 1944 Eddie's brother, Henry, died under mysterious circumstances. While Eddie and Henry had been fighting a fire that was getting close to the farm that they lived on, Eddie supposedly lost sight of Henry. When the fire was out, he worried about not being able to find his brother. He called the police. The police arrived at the farm with a search party all ready, only to have Eddie lead them straight to Henry's dead body. His body was found in an area that had not been touched by the fire, and he had bruises on his head. Foul play was dismissed, as they strongly doubted that Eddie Gein, and shy lonely young man, had killed his brother. His mother died a year later, and Eddie was truly alone.
He sectioned off all the rooms that his mother spent the most time in, and he began to spend most of his time reading adventure stories and studying the human anatomy in the kitchen and a little bedroom that he had left for himself. He would also read the newspaper, of which his favorite part were the obituaries. His brother had never been in contact with the opposite sex, so he would often spend time with the dead bodies of women that he would exhume. He would wear their skin like clothes, as he often wondered what it would be like to be a woman. He kept body parts and heads in his room, and he would willingly show the people of the town his collection. They did not believe that they were real, however, and they would often joke about it with him. It wasn't until a local woman disappeared that they finally started to suspect him. Over several years up to four people disappeared without a trace. the police were finally led to Eddie Gein's house when a local woman, Bernice Worden, disappeared and her headless body was discovered at Eddie Gein's house.
He admitted to the murder of the local woman and of the other people that had disappeared after long hours of interrogation. He was deemed insane at the time of the murders, so he was acquitted at his trial and he was sent to an insane asylum. He died in 1984 and was buried next to his mother.
(trutv.com)

Eddie Gein was pretty creepy, but not as creepy as other serial killers. Thanx for reading:D I know it's been a long time since I was on, but I saw that some people had left me comments and I won't deny it. I was flattered that people actually read them:) it made me want to get up and start updating again:D That, and the fact that I'm staying home sick from school -.- Like I said, thanx for reading:D I'll try my best to get back with another Hall of Horror soon.

On All Fours

A new book that I am working on is called On All Fours. What gave me the idea to write it came from my English teacher. He had read my story Owl(now rewritten) and he told me of Navajo Skinwalkers. Don't bother looking them up, I'll do that for you;D It's about the two girls from Owl and Crow(which might also need to be rewritten). Their souls are still stuck on Earth and they have to figure out why they are still there and what they have to do to get to the 'other side'. It's a paranormal horror story:) I'll get back to you soon!!

<3 Kalyn
P.S. This is the little cover I made for myself. It has the name of my account on inkpop. I encourage all inspiring writers to check out that website:) inkpop.com 

Behind the Scalpel

Here is a sneak peak into one of the version of the beginning of Behind the Scalpel. I haven't decided yet, but I think this one might be a keeper. What do you think?

One – Heather

            This new chapter of my life began in a hospital, and now it’s ending in one.

I was a normal girl. Once. I worried about boys. I worried about being popular. I wore make-up. The entire regular teenage girl worries. But that’s in the past now, all of them. Hallelujah. It takes time to realize how pointless teenage life really is. You usually realize it in your mid-twenties. Me? I learned it at age fifteen. I didn’t suddenly age. I didn’t get smart and go to college. I didn’t do anything, really. All I did was get injected.

-       Gwendolyn

Gwen was right, of course. Teenage years are unimportant. Slow. Painful even. But the two week or so that I lived it, I grew to like it. Almost. That’s what I would say if I gave a damn about anything. Which, I don’t. I’m what you would call a sociopath. I feel nothing. I could push you down the stairs and feel nothing. I could burn you alive and wouldn’t feel a thing. I could kill you and not feel any guilt.

You want to know how I’m so sure? ‘Cause I have killed, a lot, and I don’t feel bad about it one bit. In fact, I would go in if I could. But I can’t. ‘Cause I’m dead.

Now arises a new subject. If I’m dead, how can I be telling you these things? Fifteen is kind of young to die, but my life was good. I’m not sure how Gwen’s was, but my month or so was nice. I sigh, and my chest hurts. Am I alive? I try moving, but my whole body hurts. I lay in silence and take small pleasure in the aches that I get from my tiny breaths. One question has been answered. Yes, I am alive. Question number two. Why am I alive? Or, better yet. How am I alive?

The last thing I remember was being shot in the head and the heart. Any normal person would be dead. Ha! I make myself laugh. I’m not a normal person. I’m far from normal.

            I was created to join with the body of a soldier and help him fight mercilessly and without hesitation or guilt. With my help they would be strong, fearless, and bloodthirsty. I came with a default or two as well. When I say bloodthirsty, I mean thirst for blood and hunger for flesh. In one word: cannibal. It’s a small speck on a flawless record, though. The soldiers will be experts in martial arts and with weapons, and it’s harder to kill them. Why, you may ask. Because once they are injected with Project Defeat another brain and heart forms where the injection happened.

So, in other words, Gwen has two hearts. One of them is hers and the other one is mine. My heart is in her neck, where I was injected into her system. It doesn’t stick out, though, so no one could know. At the moment my heart was trying to pump blood into Gwen’s lifeless body while her own heart is trying to heal itself. The shot to the heart was solved, but I’m not sure how her brain will heal. The worse case is that she’s brain dead and I get to control her. The best is she just can’t remember.

Gwen. She’s a nice girl. She’s pretty street smart, and book smart too. People would probably think that I’m influencing her, but I’m not. She’s come up with most of the things we h ad done. She was just a killer waiting to happen. I just helped her realize her destiny. I pushed her over the edge just a little bit. And she finally realized how fun it could be. She didn’t really even go into denial. She’s strong, and it’s a relief. No fighting or demands or threats. It was easy-peasy-lemon-squezey.

            I feel a smile try to form, but it hurts too much. Or should I say it hurts too good? After all, it does mean that I’m alive. You never realize how hard narrating is until you just slipped out of a coma.

TWO - Heather      

I could feel my heart slowing down a bit, which means Gwendolyn’s body is close to having enough blood. I can still feel hear heart pumping a mile a minute, but the blood I supplied it with is helping it greatly. I still decide to wait a bit; I don’t want to be off my guard because I haven’t fully healed. Gwen’s heart is slowing down minute-by-minute now, and I didn’t feel as light headed as before. I still wait a while and then I finally dare a big breath. I breathe in deeply, and let it out slowly. When that felt fine, I decided to dare something else.  I tried breathing in fast and breathing out fast. I still felt a little pain, but I was defiantly feeling better. 


Tell me what you think!:)

HALL OF HORROR: H.H. Holmes

H.H. Holmes was born as Herman Webster Mudgett in 1861. He was soon labeled "The Beast of Chicago" as he had mostly killed the people that lived in the city. He would kill them in his hotel appropriately labeled The Murder Castle. When he was younger he was pinned as a very intelligent boy with an interest in medicine. He soon started to preform surgeries on animals, and some accounts state that he might have been liable in the death of a friend. When he moved to Chicago, in 1886, he soon found a job at a pharmacy under the now well-known name H.H. Holmes. He soon took over the business and they first owner mysteriously disappeared. Holmes soon had a three-story hotel, and designed it to be a house of horrors. On the upper floors was his living quarters and a variety of rooms that he used to kill and torture his victims. He would often asphyxiate his 'guests'. He had a variety of trapdoors and chutes made so her could dispose of his freshly killed victim. The door and chutes led to his basement where he would burn his victims bodies and/or dispose of them in other ways. Sometimes Holmes would strip the bones of flesh and sell them to medical colleges.
He had a habit of seducing women to eventually slaughter them. He was engaged many times, only to have his fiances suddenly 'vanish'. He continued to scam others, but when he made an alliance with Benjamin Pitezel he had ensured his downfall. The two were soon caught and thrown in a Texas jail. There, they brought someone else into the scheme that they had been working on. But when Holmes did not fulfill his side of the deal, Marion Hedgepeth tipped off the cops. Unfortunately, Hedgepeth only knew Holmes and H.M. Howard. It took a while for the police to finally affiliate Howard to Holmes, but they didn't make the connection on time to save the Pitezel family. He killed Benjamin first, and then convinced the wife that her husband was still alive. He was afraid that the Pitezel children would give him away, he took three of the five children and killed them.
When Holmes was arrested they first accused him of fraud. But soon they also accused him of killing Pitezel. While in captivity, Holmes told numerous accounts of his misdeeds, once admitting that he had killed 27 people. It is still undecided whether he killed between 20 or 100 people, but even with those numbers he was still the most notorious serial killers, even surpassing the ones to come. He was hanged on May 7th, 1896 for the Pitezel murder in Philadelphia.

OWL

Okay, I have finally typed up Owl and put it on Inkpop and it is still being approved by Teenink. I will put the link for Inkpop right here:

http://inkpop.com/projects/109676/owl/

I'm still working on the Hall Of Horror. I just moved so I don't have all the time in the world, but I'll get right on it. Thanx:D

<3 Kalyn

Hall Of Horror: Information

So, I decided I would make another Hall Of Horror, but it now comes down to this question. Which serial killer should I do? Or maybe, what should I do? Is there something interesting(preferably about death) that anyone would like to know? Until I decide I'm going to make a list of ones that I might go with now and/or later.

H.H. Holmes
Ted Bundy
John Wayne Gacy

Those are the first three I will probably work on, but there are tons of other serial killers. Thanks for reading!!:D

CROW AND OWL UPDATE

So, I have actually completely rewrote Owl and have taken it off of Teenink. I just need to type it up and then I will repost it on Teenink. I also have a title for the book I was talking about. It's called On All Fours. Skinwalkers are a BIG part of the book, and there is another word for it(a long word that I cna't remember, but I'll look it up for you) and translated it means, With Them, He Walks On All Fours. It will be epic, and I have actually started working on Behind the Scalpel again. I've been trying different beginnings with it, so it's not really readable yet. I'll tell you when it will be though.

BTW: the next Hall of Horror will be coming up in a few weeks, maybe even a few days, it depends on when I have time to write it. I will announce who it will be about later on. Thanx for reading:)
<3 Kalyn

OWL AND CROW pt 2

I got a few updates for you. I've put Behind the Scalpel on hold for a while because I'm stuck and now I'm going to work on a brand new idea. A BOOK for after Crow and Owl. I'm not sure what the name is going to be yet, but it will be epic. I also added a little bit to Owl, but I haven't typed it up yet so I have to do that, then I will put it up on here. :D Thanx for reading!

HALL OF HORROR: Raya And Sakina

 Sorry, last time I forgot to finish it up with the next person I was going to do this on. So I guess that this will be a surprise.

These partners in crime were the first women to be executed in the “Modern State of Egypt.” Raya and Sakina, as well as their husbands, were tried for the murder of multiple girls and women. Most of the women that had gone missing had been reported wearing gold jewelry and carrying around large sums of money. Each of the victims had last been seen with a woman by the name of Sakina. Though Sakina was brought in and questioned several times, but each time she managed to dodge the law and escape. They killed in the town of Alexandria and most of the bodies were found around the Labban neighborhoods. In the December of 1920 a pedestrian was walking along the road when he discovered human remains. The body was “damaged beyond recognition” and had been completely dismembered. The only recognizable thing was the body’s long hair. Around the same time that December and man was digging in his basement to fix a water pipe when he discovered human remains. He reported it, and the police discovered that Raya and Sakina had been renting houses where a few dead bodies had been found. 

Raya, Sakina, and their husbands were tried for murder, and were sentenced to death. 

 Thanx:) I did a report on the last several serial killers, so I just had to get the info off of the document. The ones after this I'll have to type from scratch. I'll get the rest up soon!:)

The next serial killer you will see here will be Albert Fish. He is ONE scary dude! Thanx for reading!:)

HALL OF HORROR: The Axeman of the New Orleans

One unknown serial killer was feared for a very long time in the New Orleans. The Axeman of the New Orleans was a mysterious figure that would expertly break into a house and brutally murder the occupants with an axe that would be left by the back door when the killer left. The first kill was in 1918 and the victims were a man and his wife by the name of Joseph and Cathrine Maggio. The Maggios lived with Joseph’s two brothers Jake and Andrew. Jake was the first one to awake and realize there was something wrong. He heard groaning coming from his brother, Joseph’s, room next door. He went to wake Andrew up and the two of them went to investigate Joseph and Cathrine’s room together. They found a horrible sight. Joseph and Cathrine lay on their bed, lying in pools of blood. Joseph was barely alive when Jake and Andrew entered. But he soon died before the ambulance could even get to his house. The police found a bloody axe in the bathroom tub and a chisel on top of a wood panel that had been removed by the tool. Years earlier the same event occurred. People suspected the Mafia had committed the crimes because all the people who had been killer were Italian. Little did they know it was the works of a serial killer.

The next victims were Louis Besumer and his mistress. A bread deliverer had been bringing bread to the grocer, who was a native of Poland, when he noticed that the store wasn’t open. That was unusual since the man would wake up early to wait for his bread. The deliverer went around the house to check on Louis and he found a horrific sight. Besumer had had blood dripping down his face and he barely managed to tell the young man to look in his bedroom. His mistress, Anna Harriett, was lying on the bed in a pool of blood. She had been struck in the head and there were bloody footprints leading from the bed. Besumer had told the man, Zanca, that he wanted him to call his personal physician instead of the police, but Zanca went against his will and called the police anyways. Anna and Besumer were taken to the hospital. A hatchet was found in the metal tub and a panel in the back door had been chiseled off. Before Anna died, she told many stories one story was that Besumer was the murderer. That was when the theory was dropped that it had been the Mafia, because Besumer had not been Italian. When Anna died, Besumer was arrested for murder, but he was soon acquitted because it was soon clear that he was not the Axeman.

The Axeman waited a period of two months before he started to kill again. His next victim was a pregnant woman who survived because her husband got home and got her to the hospital before she could die. She gave birth a week later to a healthy baby girl. 

                

Following this attack, the Axeman mailed a letter to the authorities, mimicking Jack the Ripper’s lead. In the letter he promised at 12:15 AM on a Tuesday he would hunt again. However, he promised that if people were playing jazz music, no one would be hurt. So that night everyone had jazz music playing and no one was killed. Soon the killings stopped and the killer seemed to disappear.

HALL OF HORROR: Elizabeth Bathory

One serial killer caught in the act in 1590 was Countess Elizabeth Bathory, also known as The Bloody Countess. She would recruit women and young girls to her castle under the ruse of giving them a job. But in reality, what she was going to give them was something even worse. She would give them as reason to cry for help. She would torture her prisoners with numerous devices that she had learned about from her husband, Ferenc Nadsady. A group of men were the first male outsiders that adventured into the castle, and they were on the hunt for Elizabeth. When they first entered they heard a moan back in the entrance hall. They followed the moan and came to a girl who was barely alive. The girl had been punctured in places and was suffering from massive blood loss. They knew she would not survive getting to the town to a doctor, so they left her to die. They found two other girls, but they had died long before they had got there. One girl was pale and had been drained of blood, just as the rumors had said. Another body was found chained to a pillar and was in the process of decaying. She looked as if she had been whipped and beaten, which was another way that Elizabeth would torture the girls. 

When the supply of servant girls had run out, Elizabeth started to bring in lesser aristocrats. Elizabeth loved her torturous ways, and when she got sick she would make sure that the girls were stilled tortured. She would have them brought to her room and she would bite and slap them. At times she would bite them to death then have her male servants consume their flesh. She was bloodthirsty and would cut the girls is many ways. Most were punctured with needles and scissors, or burned with read hot irons, or had their skin ripped open by sheers and fingers cut off. She particularly enjoyed slitting the girls skin between their fingers. She beat the girls till the turned black and blue, and then continued. One girl was beaten two hundred times before she finally died. A few girls had been shoved into tiny cages full of spikes. 

It’s been said that she would bathe in her victims’ blood to stay young forever and though it was never proven true some did believed that she butchered her victims for her beauty treatments. A story stated that one day she had been getting ready and one of her maids saw something wrong with her headdress and she was beaten for noticing it. She was hit in the head so hard that blood came out her nose and splattered all over Elizabeth’s face. When she washed it off, Elizabeth noticed that where the blood had hit her face her skin was fairer and clearer than it had been before the blood had hit her. It wasn’t so much as to stay young forever, but to look young forever. She had been beautiful and her yearn to stay beautiful had been one of the reasons she had reverted to killing and draining her victims of blood. She was sentenced to life in prison, in a small part of her castle, and she died soon afterwards.


The next entry will be. . . . . THE AXEMAN OF THE NEW ORLEANS!") Check back for him
<3 Kalyn 

Catching up!

Okay, haven't been on here in a while now, so there are some things I need to catch you up on. 1) The whole weekly serial killer thing is kinda tough, so it's most likely going to be once a month or whenever I can get it up. I will get up Elizabeth Bathory's story soon though, promise. 2) Behind the Needle's name has been changed. The books will go in this order: Behind the Knife, Behind the Scalpel, then Behind the Needle. Behind the Knife is finished and is going through editing process part tres. Behind the Scalpel is slowly getting typed up and it's going good so far. Behind the Needle is just some thoughts thrown together for now. 3) I actually don't have a three, I just realized. Well, I've caught you up and I will get back shortly for Elizabeth. Hope your excited!
<3 Kalyn

Behind the Scalpel

Quick update. I'm still feeling sick, but I wanted to tell you about a new update. Instead of being called Behind the Needle, I had some help in deciding to call it Behind the Scalpel. I think this one will be mostly her going in and out of a metal hospital or just a hospital, hence Behind the Scalpel. It was going to be named Behind the Needle because it was GOING to be about Avery Carter, Heather's creator, but I changed it to a sequel instead of a prequel. I think I may have mentioned that already. . .

Did You Know?

I was looking at the title of Saved by the Bell? and I remembered that some people might not even get it! See, back in the old days(along with the head thing:)) it was hard to tell if some people are dead or not(I'm gonna be going into this a lot more when I do a little blurb about death. I saw this National Geographic thing about it, and I'm going to dumb it down and see if I can find about anything they didn't mention:) It was called National Geographic the Mystery of Death), so they would either bury them or leave them in a morgue type hospital, where they will rest until we're sure they're dead or not. If they were alive man created a device that would tell you that they are alive. Before the bodies are buried they would tie some string around the bodies finger and at the end of the string is a bell. So, if they are still alive they would ring the bell and someone would be there to dig them out. Hence, "Saved by the bell." There is another saying about it, but it's not a joyful. You may or may not of heard it, but it is, "Dead as a ringer." I hope that you know what THAT means, but I'll spell it out for you anyways. "Dead as a ringer," as in they aren't alive and, well, they just have a bell tied around their finger. I didn't want to ruin the Mystery of Death thing, but I'm going to add just a little more to it. Sometimes there was a false alarm because while the body was decaying the bones would shift and if the finger moved the bell would ring. I just thought you ought to know that, just in case you didn't get the title of it. Come back later in the week to see another Hall of Horror entry!

Crow and Owl

I've been looking at all the books I've written, and I realized that I missed something. Or TWO somethings! O.o Crow and Owl are two short stories that I wrote and they are kind of the beginning of a series of short stories that I might write, where the BAD GUY always wins. In Crow, Megan and her sister Miranda are camping to kind of take a break from the outside world and get to know each other again. Miranda decides that they need more firewood, so she leaves Megan at camp telling her to go for help if she wasn't back soon. Miranda is gone long enough for Megan to worry, so she goes out to look for help. Megan tries her best to get to the town that wasn't so far away. She starts trying to find the road, but she's lost and she notices that while she's running through the forest trying to find help that someone is watching her. I'm leaving that one and that, and here is the link on teenink:

http://www.teenink.com/fiction/thriller_mystery/article/266871/A-Crow/

Owl is the second short story in "The Bad Guy Always Wins" saga, and it focuses on Miranda. Miranda gets lost while looking for firewood, and when she realizes that the sun has gone down and Megan is probably freaking out, she tried to find her way back. She wasn't as lost as she thought she was, and she found the camp quickly. When she gets back to the camp, it's in ruins and Megan can't be found. Miranda manages to find Megan's footprints and she follows them, hoping to run into Megan. She soon realizes that SHE is being followed too, but at least SHE gets to see her attacker. Megan never saw it coming till the end. Neither Megan or Miranda make it out of the forest, and the forest once again wins! Here is the link on teenink for this short story:

http://www.teenink.com/fiction/thriller_mystery/article/266872/Owl-Crow-2/

So far there are only two short stories, because these aren't on the top of my list. In fact, they are at the bottom. I have so much more on my plate of stories that I'm working on, so this might not really be looked at again for a while. But I'm proud of these babies:)

Robet the Doll

As you may or not see, I have added a video bar and on it there is a few pictures of a doll. That, ladies and gentlemen, is Robert the Doll. I heard about him a while ago and I think I'm in love with him. I REALLY want to go to Key West, Florida to see him, but I don't really have the money. I just have to hope that I can get enough money together when I'm older to see him. He's a haunted doll, owned by the artist Robert Eugene Otto. When Eugene got the doll, he named it Robert(which is his first name) and went by his middle name, Eugene. Eugene's Nanny gave it to him as a birthday present. His parents would hear Eugene talking to someone in another room, and they just assumed he was talking to the doll. They were confused when they heard a VOICE SPEAK TO HIM BACK. If they heard a crash and they ran into the room, there would most likely be Eugene, telling everybody that Robert had made the mess, not him. When he got older and was married and moved into a house of his own, he brought Robert with him. His wife Anne didn't like the doll, and Robert didn't really like her either. Anne was sick of Robert staring at her, so she would take him up to the attic where he couldn't stare at her. Eugene would come home and notify Anne that Robert was displease. Instead of getting rid of Robert, Eugene just built a little room for him on the top of his house and left Robert there. Kids walking by his house going to and from school said that they say Robert moving up in his room, watching them. When Eugene died, he had locked himself and Robert in the room and he died with Robert in his arms. Eugene was born in 1900 and died in 1974. Anna fled the house, leaving Robert in the attic. Soon a family moved into the house with a little 10 year old girl. She soon found Robert in the attic and he had found someone else to torment. The family quickly moved out. Before Robert was placed in the Key West, Florida Martello Museum, a plumber had gone to the attic to fix a pipe and kept seeing Robert out of the corner of his eye. He was always leaving the house now and again to get tools, and whenever he came back Robert was in a different place. HE saw Robert out of the corner of his eye again, and heard a little boy giggling and the pitter patter of little feet. He turned to see Robert had moved again and he left the house, leaving his tools behind. Robert was finally moved to the Martello Museum and tourists were able to view him. Many people wanted to take his photograph, but they had to ask his permission or he would curse them and their family. At night the staff said they could hear running up and down the hall, and when they looked at him again in the morning he had dirt and dust on the bottom of his feet. Robert even appears to be getting older, just slower than Eugene. He sits in a little chair, in a glass case. He is still in his sailor uniform, hat and all, with a little lion clutched to himself.
"Robert did it. I tell you! Robert did it!"

HALL OF HORROR: Jack the Ripper

Back in the 1800's it was Jack Doe, while now it's John Doe. So, when no one knew who was the killer these prostitutes, the named him Jack the Ripper. His first murder was Mary Ann "Polly" Nichols on August 31st, 1888. He was named "Ripper" because all of his victims abdomens were slashed and ripped, some were even missing an organ or two. Annie Chapman's body was found on September 8th, 1888 near the doorway in a backyard on Hanbury Street, Spitalfields. Her throat had been severed by two cuts and her abdomen was completely ripped open. Doctors later realized that her uterus had been removed. His next victims were found only minutes apart. Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes were found in two different areas in the city of London. Stride's body was the least mutilated, and some thought that Jack was interrupted while he was killing her. Her throat was slashed but her abdomen had not been touched. Some even doubted that the Ripper had killed her. Eddowes' body was found about an hour after Stride's. Her throat was severed and her abdomen was ripped open by several deep wounds. Her left kidney and a major part of her uterus had been removed. A few witnesses were able to describe a man that was with the victims before they were killed, but none of them matched. His last murder was his most gruesome. Mary Kelly's body was found in a single room in an inn the she lived in on November 9th, 1888. Her throat had been severed all the way down to her spine, and her abdomen had been emptied of all of her organs. Even her heart was missing. Kelly's organs were found all around the room and her heart was the only organ missing from the scene. Her body had been hacked at and her face was missing.

Jack the Ripper sent letters to the press, taunting the police. There were three letter, "Dear Boss" "Saucy Jack" and "From Hell". The "From Hell" letter, though, was most likely NOT from Jack, but from a man only "claiming" to be Jack the Ripper. Most of the words had been misspelled and was sent to George Lusk who was head of the "White Chapel Vigilance Committee" while the rest had been sent been sent to the press. The "Dear Boss" letter was the first letter sent to the press. At first the police thought that the letter was a hoax, but when they found Catherine Eddowes' body with one of the ears severed they looked at it again. In the letter it said that "Jack" had saved some blood from his last victim(Annie Chapman) but it had gone bad so he had to use red ink. "Saucy Jack" was on the back of a postcard and was sent 24 hours after the "double event" of Eddowes and Stride. He stated that "number one squealed a bit" so he couldn't finish. It also mentioned that he didn't get the ears that he had promised to send to the police.
No one had discovered who Jack the Ripper was, so his identity is still a mystery.(i would like to thank wikipedia for giving me the info:))

The next Hall of Infamy killer will be Countess Elizabeth Báthory. Come back for info on her next week!
