0:00.0	Hello and welcome to my Victorian nightmare. I'm your host, Genevieve Mannion, and I'm here to talk about mysterious deaths, morbid fascinations, disturbing stories, and otherwise spooky events from the Victorian era. Because to me, there's just something especially intriguing, creepy, and oddly comforting
0:25.4	about horror and mayhem from the 19th century.
0:29.3	So, listener discretion is advised.
0:45.9	Hello, friends, and welcome to this my 14th episode, during this hour's,
0:53.5	Spookiest of Seasons, while in the midst of a very exciting and weird time for me.
0:59.1	Friends, I am officially in the top 10 of Spotify's top 10 history podcasts. I got D's in just about every history course I have ever taken. I graduated
1:08.1	high school by the skin of my teeth, and my podcast is number nine on Spotify's
1:15.0	top history podcasts as of today. I also hit my 1,000th five star yesterday. One of my best friends,
1:25.3	Chrissy, did the honors and gave me my thousandth five star on Spotify.

2:10.1	and for taking the time to listen. Today, I'm continuing with my Victorian Haunted House house series with what I found to be
2:20.9	the most spine-chilling house in a great big list that I made of haunted Victorian houses.
2:29.2	Today, I will be talking about what is known as, seriously, the Velisca Axe Murder House.
2:37.7	This is a house that was built in 1868 that was home to a family of six who, along with two
2:46.2	young houseguests, were brutally murdered in the early 1900s. So not only will I discuss this horrifying
2:54.7	event, but also the spooky experiences that people have had in the house, as well as some
3:01.5	details from power normal investigations that turned me into one big goose bump. You're going to want to have all of the
3:10.9	lights on in your house for today's episode with a flashlight next to you just in case the
3:15.5	lights go out and a bucket of holy water to dump all over yourself in such an event.
3:21.3	You cannot be too careful. By the way, I passed over a house called the House
