EP. # 1271 Blood Axes of the Bayou: The Human Five Awakens
Dive into the chilling shadows of 1910s Louisiana, where entire Black families were brutally axed in their sleep, their blood-soaked homes marked with twisted Bible verses and the enigmatic "Human Five." Was this the rampage of a lone fanatic preacher riding the rails, or a sinister death cult blending Christianity and voodoo in ritual sacrifices? Join host as Louisiana native Todd C. Elliott, author of Axes of Evil, unearths America's largest unsolved serial murders—45 victims, vanishing into history's fog amid racial bias and occult whispers. Explore blood atonement, railroad trails of terror, and haunting confessions that blur faith and frenzy.
GUEST: Todd C. Elliott, a Louisiana-born journalist and relentless researcher, peels back the Deep South's darkest layers in his four acclaimed books. From unraveling Louisiana's ties to the JFK assassination in A Rose By Many Other Names to exposing the ax-wielding horrors of Axes of Evil, Elliott confronts America's forgotten nightmares. His latest, Infectus: Bedtime Stories of Horror, cements his mastery of the macabre. With years tracing bloodstained trails, he reveals how faith, fear, and fanaticism forged an unsolved spree of ritualistic slaughter.
