In this chilling Halloween-themed episode of True Crime Sleep Stories, we delve into a haunting series of axe murders that struck rural America in the early 1900s. Known as “the man from the train,” an elusive figure left a trail of tragedy near railroad tracks, targeting families in their sleep.
From Trenton, South Carolina, to Villisca, Iowa, we explore the eerie patterns—covered mirrors, untouched valuables, and meals eaten in silent homes—that marked these unsolved crimes.
Join us as we weave historical facts with a soothing narrative to guide you into restful sleep, while the mystery of the axe-wielding drifter lingers like mist over the rails.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Share your reflections or suggest true crime stories for future episodes. Sweet dreams, and stay inspired!
