We're all too familiar with the story of notorious serial killer H. H. Holmes. At the same time Holmes was killing, so was another... Jack the Ripper. Could it be the two are, in fact, one in the same? We sit down with Jeff Mudgett, star of History Channel's "American Ripper" and also the great-great grandson of H. H. Holmes and hear his compelling evidence linking the two murderers together.

Don't forget, you can watch us live on Tuesday nights at 8PM CST - U.S. on YouTube and Facebook!

Richard Estep, author, paranormal investigator, and D-list TV personality. You might have seen me on TV’s Haunted Case Files (Paranormal Investigators in the UK) Haunted Hospitals, and Paranormal 911. 

"My love of all things ghostly began at a very young age, fed by staying in my grandparents’ haunted house in England and by a constant stream of binge reading at my local library (Syston Library, you’re the best!) I didn’t begin to actually investigate hauntings until the mid-nineties, but when I started, the bug bit me and hasn’t let go ever since. I took this passion with me when I moved to the United States in 1999, and finally formed the Boulder County Paranormal Research Society in 2006. It is still going strong today.

I started to write about my experiences in 2013, and now have a number of books that are either on the market or contracted to be released in the near future. I make my living as a paramedic and clinical educator for a private ambulance company. When I’m not doing that, I teach EMT and paramedic students at two different medical taining establishments, and occasionally give tours at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado."

Happy New Year! We're back after our little holiday break to bring you some spooky stories revolving around NYE, and – WOW – we have got some crazy true crime and paranormal stories to tell y'all! Laura covers the most dangerous game of Simon Says that includes a triple homicide and a cult in Colorado. Maria walks you through the opulent yet eerie halls of two of Chicago's most haunted hotels with spectral guests that never checked out. Let's get creepy!

Welcome to That's Not How I'd Do It, the podcast where we take a hard look at the world around us, find something we want to improve, and, uh, fix it.

In Episode 05, we try to hit all the serial killing trademarks without resorting to the usual clichés like bible-influenced murder-tableaus or making pantsuits out of human skin!

If you have any suggestions for future episodes, go ahead and tweet to us at @thatsnotpod. You can also drop us a line at thatsnotpod@gmail.com.

Special thanks this week to Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and Dr. Frankenstein!
