Only a few other serial killers come close to Ted Bundy in notoriety.

His infamy as the poster boy of American serial killers has led to the production of several movies documenting the twisted life of the man who would, later on, be described by his own defense attorney as ‘the very definition of heartless evil’ in her own book, Defending the Devil.

Ohio is the apotheosis of Americanism. The middle west begins with Indiana, the east with Pennsylvania, the south with Kentucky, and, surrounded by these sits Ohio, one of the richest spots on earth. Its contribution to music, art, literature and the theatre is far greater than any two states in the nation – Louis Bromfield, Pulitzer Prize winner

The words of Bromfield stands true to its core, however, the state of Ohio has an uncanny history. Ohio seems to invite serial killers; either many are born there or have perpetrated their crimes in the state.

The thought of entering the premises of an abandoned house during childhood would have given goosebumps to everyone. Haunted or not, one would spot a nearly-invisible silhouette or hear dogs howling in the dead of the night, near the house. Tales of the supernatural or a gruesome murder would slowly embrace the house, making it more and more enigmatic.

Haunted houses or murder houses have always held a special place in fiction. From literary stories like Edgar Allen Poe’s ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ to movies such as James Wan’s ‘Insidious’ and ‘The Conjuring’ series, the house holds an important place in all of them.
