This week we are packing their emotional support sage and heading straight into two deeply unsettling homes because apparently “cozy” is overrated. First stop: the infamous Blood House of Atlanta, where a mystifying issue plagued the house owners. Then, we hop across the pond to Perthshire, Scotland, to dig into the legend of Ballechin House. Built by a man with a very specific obsession with reincarnation, the house became a hotspot for terrifying phenomena after his death. From bloodstained histories to ghostly tantrums, these houses prove that sometimes it’s not the location, it’s the lingering energy that turns a home into a nightmare.

When twenty-seven-year-old James Bullock was shot and killed in St. Louis in the winter of 1958, investigators immediately focused their attention on Bullock’s wife, Edna, who was the beneficiary of her husband’s large life insurance policy. Witnesses recalled seeing the victim being chased by a man with a gun on the night of the murder, and detectives suspected Edna had arranged for her husband to be killed so she could collect the insurance money. They didn’t know it at the time, but St. Louis investigators were investigating what was to be the first victim in a decades-long career of a most unlikely hitman and serial killer.

In April 1834, a massive fire broke out at the mansion of Delphine LaLaurie on Royal Street in New Orleans French Quarter. LaLaurie was known to have kept several slaves as servants in the home, but when bystanders attempted to enter the house to rescue those trapped inside, they found the doors barred. After forcing the doors open and making their way inside the house, the rescuers were horrified to find the “horribly mutilated” bodies of at least seven of LaLaurie’s slaves. Delphine LaLaurie was known to treat her servants very badly, including physically abusing them, but no one in New Orleans had imagined she was a sadistic murderer.

Chicago in the 1920s is often remembered for the rise of organized crime and its larger‑than‑life leaders like Al Capone and Johnny Torrio. While these men shaped the city’s identity, their infamy was rivaled—at least for a time—by a group of young women whose murderous acts dominated headlines nationwide. Among them was Tillie Klimek, believed to have killed as many as seven people, including four husbands, between 1914 and 1921. Her sensational crimes and trial captivated the public and filled front pages for years.

On October 14, 1987, Reba McClure and her eighteen-month-old daughter, Jessica, stopped by the Midland, Texas home of her sister for a visit. As Reba sat in the backyard watching Jessica play with some neighborhood children, she heard the phone ring and went inside to answer it. When McClure returned to the backyard a few minutes later, she saw the other children staring at the ground on the far-side of the yard, but Jessica was nowhere to be seen.

When Carolyn and Roger Perron moved into a small farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island, they believed they’d found the perfect home for their family of seven. But the dream quickly curdled into a nightmare. What began as small disturbances — disembodied voices, foul odors, and fleeting shadows — escalated into violent hauntings, physical attacks, and encounters with something far darker than lingering spirits.
