brain surgeries on some of his victims in order to turn them into zombies that would
do whatever he wanted.
If you think that is creepy…just wait till you hear what the rest of these other sick
criminals have done.
Rebecca: [add intro] Landon: So look your doors and grab a blanket
because we are about to dive in with our list of the top 10 scariest American criminals.
Landon: The killer clown chases us into number 10.
I don’t think I know anyone who actually enjoys a clown.
And there’s good reason for that.
No, I’m not talking about that kind of scary clown.
I’m talking about the clown at children’s birthday parties that makes all of the kids
cry because they know clowns are funny and they are actually really creepy.
Like John Wayne Gacy.
He was a professional clown with a scary murderous streak.
He killed 33 young men and buried the bodies in the crawl space of his home after he was
done torturing them.
His nickname was Pogo the clown but thankfully his days as a child entertainer came to an
end when he was executed by lethal injection back in 1994.
Rebecca Number 9 The Watcher The incidents in this story took place in
New Jersey, America, which leads me to suspect the culprit was American, but honestly, who
knows… without fully knowing their identity, it is hard to say for sure….either way,
they are absolutely terrifying.
The Legend of the Jersey Watcher probably begins in the 1950s, but we only found out
about it in 2014.
Mysteriously in the 1950s the property was sold for just one dollar, twice.
Anyway, fast forward to 2014 and a couple who had just purchased the property from the
Wood Family for 1.4 million dollars.
This was when they started receiving weird letters signed from The Water.
The first read the watcher had asked the Woods to move and fill the home with Young Blood.
The first letter made reference to the couples children – stating Once I know their names
I will call to them and draw them out to me.
In a series of three letters, the watcher asked - Who has the bedrooms facing the street?
I'll know as soon as you move in.""it will help me to know who is in which bedroom, then
I can plan better."
They also said that "All of the windows and doors ... allow me to watch you and track
you as you move through the house” RIGHT.
They claimed that they were the third watcher of the home - saying my grandfather watched
the house in the 1920s and my father watched in the 1960s.
It is now my time,” “I have been put in charge of watching and waiting for its second
coming.”
The buyers freaked out and tried to off the property, also attempting to sue the people
who sold it to them.
What a scary and unidentified human!
Their anonymity makes them even scarier!
Rebecca: Number 8 - Charles Manson Most of you will have heard of Charles Manson
– Mr Helter Skelter himself – a man with a swastika tattooed on his forehead.
Charles Manson died in November 2017, but his evil and murderous legacy lives on.
Charles Manson was at the head of a cult, which became known as the Manson Family.
The crazed failing musician believed by murdering people he could begin a race war, something
he said was encouraged by the Beatles in their song Helter Skelter.
After a challenging upbringing, Manson began his life of crime as a thief.
He then turned to rape.
His final atrocities came in the late 1960s when he attracted a cult in a desert commune.
The group were complicit in the murder of Gary Hinman in July 1969.
Then came the infamous death of a Hollywood star… in August of the same year, he instructed
his followers to murder pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four friends who were visiting her.
The instructions were to totally destroy everyone in the house in the most gruesome possible
way.
The next day Leno and Rosemary LaBianca were killed by Manson and the group, with Manson
claiming he would accompany them to, I quote, show them how to do it.
He gave a series of interviews in prison, in which he revealed how terrifying and criminally
insane he really is.
When asked who he is, this was his answer….
He was often known to dance in response to questions….. *another clip*
Landon: Ed Gein scares us in at number 7.
He was also known as the Butcher of Plainfield because he would dig up corpses from their
graves and make trophies and other items from their bones and skin.
For example, he made a lampshade from human skin, chairs from human flesh, creepy masks,
belts and other scary looking accessories.
No seriously, these things will give you nightmares.
Take a look at this mask he made This is literally what nightmares are made of.
He also confessed to killing two women but I think his human flesh clothing line is waaaaay
creepier.
Rebecca: Number 6 Delphine LaLaurie was a nasty piece of work.
Severely nasty.
New Orlean’s socialite and murderer in the 18th and early 19th Century.
She was a highborn woman, well respected in her community.
Like a lot of rich people living in mansions in the Southern states, she was known to keep
slaves.
While slavery was legal, the way in which LaLaurie kept hers was not.
She beat and murdered hers, burying them in the grounds of her sprawling French Quarter
house.
On April 10th 1834, Delphine’s house caught fire.
When the police and fire Marshalls got there, they found an elderly woman chained to the
stove – she said she had set the fire to try and kill herself instead of being punished.
She said slaves taken to the top of the house never returned and when police went up to
investigate, they found 7 horribly mutilated people attached to torture devices.
When an angry mob tried to hold the LaLauries Accountable for the killings, Delphine and
her husband escaped to France and she never was held accountable for her actions.
Landon: Rodney Alcala charms his way into number 5.
Is also known as the Dating Game killer and that’s because during a horrifying killing
spree in America, the convicted murderer and sex offender somehow made it onto a TV dating
game show and managed to win.
Yeah, I’m sure YOU’RE going to have a great time slashing and cutting her into a
million pieces.
But what, there’s more…
What I really think he’s trying to say is that nighttime is the best time for killers
to slash some throats.
The morning and nighttime are just okay because you have to be extra careful not to get caught,
isn’t that right Rodney?
All jokes aside…he is one scary serial killer.
He was sentenced to death in California for murdering five people but it is suspected
that his victim count could be as high as 130.
He admitted that he used to play with his victims by strangling them until they passed
out and then waiting for them to wake up.
He would repeat this until finally killing them.
He was captured back in 1979 and he is still currently on death row at the California State
Prison but I doubt that he’s been on any more dates.
Landon: We have another charmer on this list in at number 4 we are talking about the infamous
Ted Bundy.
He even described himself as the “Most cold-hearted son of a bitch you’ll ever meet.”
Many people consider Ted Bundy as one of the most dangerous and scariest serial killers
of all time because he was handsome and had so much charisma so he was able to easily
lure women into trusting him.
Once he earned their trust he would overpower them and take them to a secluded location
where he would torture then and perform disgusting acts of violence.
Sometimes he even went back to the decomposing corpses to interact with the body until they
were too stiff or wild animals destroyed the corpse.
And it is believed that he decapitated at least 12 of his victims and kept some of those
heads in his apartment.
He eventually died by the electric chair for his heinous crimes back in 1989 but he has
still left his mark on the world.
Rebecca: Number 3 - Aileen Wuornos Aileen met her end in 2002 at a facility in
the state of Florida.
Again the discussion of whether evil is born or made comes up as, yes, Aileen did have
a tortured background.
Her mother was married at 14 and her father was a schizophrenic who sexually abused her.
Her mother eventually abandoned the kids and Aileen was raised by a grandfather who rent
her out for sexual favours in a pedophile ring.
Aileen got pregnant at 14 and became a prostitute at 15.
A person who grows up with no love is perhaps destined to become a monster, indeed a movie
was made about Aileen and her life that was called Monster and starred Charlize Theron.
She beat her husband and starting jacking cars, but by 1989 she had a taste for murder.
She killed 7 of her clients at point blank range with a .22 calibre gun.
Often she shot them several times.
After she was arrested, she claimed she hates human life and she would kill again.
She was interviewed a number of times before her death and this was her response to killing
seven victims…..
She also had this to say… *clip* Her last words were I’ll be back.
Terrifying female serial killer…
Landon: Jeffrey Dahmer makes it onto this list in at number 2.
Although he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia and a
psychotic disorder, he was deemed as legally sane at his trial.
Which is surprising because his crimes are definitely psychotic.
He sexually abused, dismembered and murdered 17 men and young boys from 1989-1991.
He even committed acts of necrophilia, cannibalism and he preserved a lot of those dead bodies
in his freezer at home.
I guess he wanted to save them in case he got hungry later because he admitted to cooking
and eating some of his victims.
He ate liver, hearts and biceps among other gross things.
Oh, and he also performed some lobotomies on his victims because he wanted to turn them
into zombie sex slaves.
Rebecca: Number 1 Truly terrifying over history and despite
everything, still out there … we have The Grand Wizard.
These days The Grand Wizard, or the Great Imperial Wizard can be more than one person
– offshoots and living incantations of evil.
Back in the day, in the reconstruction Era, the Grand Wizard was the title given to the
head of the KKK.
The KKK are a vicious and at times murderous white supremacist group that have caused havoc,
lynching and mutilating innocent people and generally causing many racially aggravated
atrocities throughout modern history.
The scariest times to be a black American was at the height of the KKK between the 1860s
through to the 1960s – with The Grand Wizard reigning over 100 years of true terror.
Arms of the KKK still exist today and so far as I know, the highest leaders in states called
the Grand Dragon, with just a few Grand Wizards dotted through the country.
Because of the nature of the abominable organization, we don’t know the identity of all of the
Grand Wizards, but one of the first was Confederate Nathan Bedford Forrest in 1867, and one of
the last known was Don Black in 1981.
These men have been the leaders of brutal, cruel massacres and sadly, there are still
scary, heartless people just like them out there who want to continue their legacy and
become the next
Grand Wizard.
