He didn’t kill for money. He didn’t rape or rob. He simply crept into homes, murdered families with their own axes—and vanished. But in 1919, everything changed when a letter from “The Axeman” was published in the newspaper. His message? Anyone not playing jazz on Tuesday night would be killed.This is more than a true crime mystery. It’s a story about racial tension, voodoo fears, media hysteria, and the strange moment when a city turned to music to fight a phantom. Why did New Orleans refuse to admit a serial killer was loose? What secrets did the police cover up? And could the Axeman have been someone the city itself created through silence and fear?Was he a real man, a myth, or something worse?
Hear the original letter read aloud.
Was it a stunt or a supernatural threat? Who do you think the Axeman really was?
