00:00You lock the front door. You check the windows. You think the darkness outside is empty.
00:09But in the early 1900s, across the American heartland, the darkness was moving at 30 miles
00:17an hour on the back of a coal car. We're back. This Sunday, Histories of Horror returns
00:26for the second half of season one. And we're kicking off 2026 with a shadow that spanned a
00:34continent. A man who used the iron veins of the railroad to pump blood across 30 states.
00:40They call him the man from the train. For a hundred years, his crimes were seen as isolated tragedies.
00:48A family slaughtered in Kansas. A massacre in Iowa. A bloodbath in Colorado.
00:55But thanks to a revolutionary new investigation, we now know the truth. It wasn't a dozen killers.
01:03It was one. He didn't bring a gun. He didn't bring a knife. He used the axe leaning against your back
01:10porch. He used the blunt side of the blade to erase entire families while they slept. And then,
01:17he stayed. He stayed in their homes, covering their mirrors and their faces, waiting for the next freight
01:23train to pull into the yard. Join us this Sunday, January 11th, as we trace the footsteps of Paul
01:31Mueller, the most prolific serial killer you've never heard of. From the tragedy of Villisca to the
01:38mystery at Hinterkaifeck, we're following the tracks to the very end. Histories of Horror is back.
01:46Sunday night, the whistle is blowing. Are you listening?
01:50Are you listening?
01:53Okay.
01:54Yes.
