Description: The grave of H.H. Holmes, one of America's first documented serial killers, is located in Holy Cross Cemetery in Yeadon, Pennsylvania. Born Herman Webster Mudgett, Holmes was notorious for his elaborate "Murder Castle" in Chicago during the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, where he lured and killed numerous victims. After being apprehended and convicted of multiple murders, Holmes was executed by hanging in 1896. Due to his request, his body was buried in a concrete-filled coffin to prevent grave robbing and potential tampering, reflecting his enduring paranoia and the macabre legacy he left behind. The grave remains a point of morbid curiosity and historical significance, drawing those intrigued by his dark and twisted story.
