This famous franchise featuring the vengeful Jigsaw Killer and his elaborate death traps have grossed nearly a billion dollars worldwide. But the Shocking Truth is that this gruesome and bloody franchise is inspired by a century-plus old case. In the late 1800’s, H.H. Holmes began his criminal career by stealing cadavers in medical school. He would mutilate them and then make fraudulent insurance claims on them. In 1886, he moved to Chicago, building a giant hotel to cash in on the Chicago World Fair – but this was no ordinary hotel. The building was designed like a labyrinth, with no windows on the
top two floors, staircases leading to nowhere and soundproofed rooms. His victims were often homeless men, who had no idea of the hellacious torture they were about to endure. Director Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio will also revisit this macabre story in their upcoming film “The Devil in the White City.”

Director Steven Spielberg’s film sees an ordinary family tormented by an evil apparition that later takes the youngest daughter Carol Anne into another realm. But the reality behind the fiction is equally as frightening. The film is loosely based on events at a house on Long Island, New York, where the Hermann family were plagued by a so-called poltergeist. Between February and March 1958, bottle tops and lids inexplicably popped, ornaments flew around the house, a heavy bookshelf mysteriously fell over and a Virgin Mary figure soared through the air and struck a mirror 12 feet away. The family, who moved away soon after, believed the events were somehow connected to an ancient Native American burial site near their home – something that features heavily in Spielberg’s movie.
