Back in the 90s, Fox Hollow Farm in Indiana, was home to a monster named Herb Baumeister, who was responsible for at least 12 murders on the property — although based on the fact that 10,000 fragments of human remains were found, the real number is likely to be higher.When the Graves family moved into the 18-acre property in the early 2000s, they were initially sceptical of the paranormal. That would soon change…⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: Naturally, this episode is going to be talking about the dark deeds that Herb Baumeister got up to, so there's lots of talk of murder during this one. ⚠️SOURCES📚 Where the Bodies are Buried by Fannie Weinstein & Melinda Wilson📚 The Horrors Of Fox Hollow Farm by Richard Estep & Robert Graves💻 https://eu.indystar.com/story/news/local/hamilton-county/westfield/2019/05/17/fox-hollow-farm-murders-where-bodies-were-buried-now-sale/3667251002/ 📺 The Haunting Of Fox Hollow Farm, first aired in 2011🎙️ Last Podcast On The Left Episode 568 & 569: Herb BaumeisterCOME SAY HI!Instagram - https://instagram.com/dontscareclaire/THE LEGAL STUFFI don’t claim ownership of all the extracts, including images, videos and audio, featured in this video.

The Ostrich Inn in Colnbrook, Slough, has stood as a welcoming coaching inn for centuries, now serving as an overnight stop for travellers before they head off to the (equally haunted) Heathrow Airport.But there’s also a murderous story attached to the Ostrich Inn, which may have served as the inspiration for the Sweeney Todd story that first appeared in Penny Dreadfuls in the 19th Century.Whether this story is actually true or not, seems not to matter - as regardless of whether you believe in the Jarmans, the ghostly residents of this old pub are not afraid of making themselves known.
