Tower Killer Charles Whitman
Among the names that have gone down in infamy is that of Charles Whitman, a trained marine sniper who on August 1, 1966 murdered his mother and wife in their Austin, Texas homes, then carried various weapons to the top of the University of Texas tower, killing three people on the way. Once at the top he went on a 20-minute shooting rampage, killing nine students and wounding 30 others before he was gunned down by police.

Are Vampires Stealing Your Energy?
We all live among the energy vampires but few of us know it, unless we happen to be living among a nest of them. My wife and I found ourselves getting drained of energy when we lived for a time in one specific community. That was when we learned not only that such people exist, but we found a way to shield ourselves against their daily assaults. People who drain your energy are not evil. They don’t look like the Hollywood stereotype vampire, they don’t drain our blood and they don’t prowl at night. What they do . . . and sometimes they may not even realize they are doing it . . . is that they have a strange way of sucking away our energy when we get too close. I believe some of them do it on purpose.

Genghis Khan; Mongolian Killer of Millions
There is perhaps irony in the fact that Genghis Khan, the worst known mass killer in the known history of the world set the stage for the first “great awakening;” a period of great spiritual, mental and social development in what became the first great world empire.
He had to build an army and slaughter between 20 and 60 million people, about a third of the known world population of that time, to accomplish it.

Truman A-Bombed Japan
Of all the mass killers chosen for this site, the selection of President Harry S. Truman has been among the hardest for us to post. Because of President Roosevelt’s death in office, Truman inherited the final months of World War II which included the fierce combat occurring between Allied forces and the Japanese. He also inherited the atomic bomb which was given to him as a weapon of war during those key months leading up to the end of that war. Thus it became his decision whether to use the bomb on the Japanese people or not. Truman ordered the bombings. They incinerated the two cities, killing thousands of civilian men, women and children where they stood. Thousands more were left crippled and mutilated. The casualty count in the two cities has been estimated at over 200,000 people.

Attila The Hun
Attila was the First Century leader of a nomadic barbarian people known as the Huns. He was the feared ruler of what was known as the Hunnic Empire from the year 434 until his death in 453. During those brief years his army held territory stretching from the Ural River to the Rhine River and from the Danube River to the Baltic Sea. Details of his life and just who Attila was are fragmented, and are found in the writings of about three major Sixth Century historians; Priscus, Procopius and Jordanes. From those sketchy writings we know that Attila and his warriors ravaged the countryside on horseback, plundering everything as they invaded territories into Eastern Europe and south into the Roman Empire. To some he was known as Attila the Hun. To others he was the Scourge of God.

Iraq’s Bloody Dictator Saddam Hussein
It has been estimated that Saddam Hussein was responsible for the deaths of 2 million Iraqis during his reign of power from 1979 to 2003. The numbers, which include the civilians in both Iraq and Iran killed during the eight years of war that went on between those two countries, and the Iraq invasion of Kuwait may have been much higher.

Columbus – World Navigator, Slaver And Mass Killer
For years the American history books gave Christopher Columbus the credit of "discovering America" and proclaimed him to be a hero for daring to sail his frail craft across the Atlantic when European scholars believed the world was flat. They even named cities and highways and created a national holiday in his name. But now that the real story of what Columbus did, and how he treated the natives he found on the various Caribbean Islands, the truth has thrown a pall of shame over the very name.

Hitler; The Most Abhorrent Name
Since World War II, the very name of Adolf Hitler stirs revulsion in the hearts of every person who lived through that period of dark history. While Adolf was a popular first name for boys prior to the war, it is rarely used today. France and Norway went so far as to outlaw the name. Because he inflamed Germany into launching one of the most destructive wars in history, Hitler is remembered as the most evil person who ever lived. His Story

"Big Ed" Kemper The Coed Killer
When Edmund Kemper called the police in Santa Cruz, California in April, 1973 and confessed to being the infamous "Coed Killer" officers who knew him well had a hard time believing his story.

Andrew Jackson’s Trails of Tears
Looking back in American history, no one can say President Andrew Jackson was the sole instigator of the Indian Removal Act and its deadly effect on the five Native American tribes living in the Southeastern Territories, but his name was clearly inscribed on the branding iron. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the forced relocation of an estimated 125,000 Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Creek and Cherokee people from their homes in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida to "Indian Territory" west of the Mississippi, now known as the State of Oklahoma, is a dark and bloody blot in the nation’s history.

Osama bin Laden; Islamic Terrorist
Even though many conspiracy theorists dispute it, Osama bin Laden publically claimed in a video-taped message in 2004 that he and his Islamic terrorist organization al-Qaeda were responsible for the 9-11 attacks on the United States in 2001 that killed an estimated 3,000 civilians.

Eugene Saenger – He Radiated Innocent Victims
When he died at the age of 90 in 2007, Dr. Eugene Saenger was lauded by the American media as a "pioneer in radiation research and nuclear medicine" and his 30-plus years as a professor at the University of Cincinnati. His accolades stemmed around Saenger’s government financed experiments with unwitting patients with radiation poisoning during the Cold War years. Between 1960 and 1971, after the development of the atomic bomb, the U. S. military wanted to find out how much radiation a human body could take, and whether the world could survive a nuclear catastrophe. More . . .

David Berkowitz; "Son of Sam"

Most people have never heard of Reinhard Heydrich. This may be because he was died early in World War II from injuries sustained in an attempted assassination by Czech agents. But this man lived long enough to bring about the deaths of millions. Among his war crimes, Heydrich, who was the second highest ranking officer in the SS, thought up the pretext to invade Poland and launch the war, and he drafted Hitler’s "Final Solution," a Nazi attempt to exterminate the entire Jewish population of Europe.

Stalin: The Ruthless Killer
The world thinks of Hitler as perhaps the worst mass killer of all time, yet ignores the fact that Germany’s arch enemy during the war years, Joseph Stalin, probably surpassed Hitler’s killings by the millions. Nobody knows the true number, but estimates stand at about 40 million deaths. He even introduced his own "Final Solution" against the Jews which led to the execution of hundreds of thousands of Russian Jews. Hitler’s final death count has been calculated at 30 million.

Armenian Killer Talaat Pasha
When we use the word genocide we tend to think of the Nazi slaughter of the Jews during World War II, but there was another earlier genocide . . . this one of the Armenian people . . . during the reign of Talaat Pasha, the Grand Vizier of the Sultan in the Ottoman Empire, from 1917 to 1918. Because it was the time of the First World War and Turkey entered the war on the side of Germany, Pasha’s rule was known as a military dictatorship. He ordered a Temporary Deportation Law that initiated what became the Armenian Genocide. He is considered the main perpetrator of the mass killing of two million Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians during his brief time in power. The killings were considered an act of war against the "infidels" who were thought of as enemies of Islam. The Horror Story
