Gruesome as they were, they began to horrify the public even more when they were admitted to by a teenaged voodoo priestess. Despite her confession though, a pair of authors say that there was someone else in the area at the time even more dangerous and who likely did most of the killing unbeknownst to even the voodoo priestess. That man is know simply as “The Man From The Train”. Plus, we’ll look a few more gruesome ax murders that took place in the 1800s.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Disclaimer and Cold Open00:01:10.602 = Show Intro00:03:05.566 = Voodoo Murders of Clementine Barabet00:20:16.493 = The Man From The Train00:36:56.467 = Ax Murders of the 1800s00:56:13.865 = Show OutroSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Voodoo Murders of Clementine Barnabet” (https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2c5fcw) and “The Man From The Train” (https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3fc77w4h) by Benjamin Welton for ListVerse“Axe Murders of the 1800s” by Elizabeth Yetter (https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/vjfc6dp6), and Josh Gotter (https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/367wz7rd) for ListVerseBOOK: “The Man From The Train: Discovering America’s Most Elusive Serial Killer” by Bill James and Rachel McCarthy James: https://amzn.to/3fiuHhMWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
