Notorious Serial Killers Who May Have Never Existed
Stories of serial killers have fascinated us for centuries. Over the last several years, especially, there’s been a rise in true crime documentary series and podcasts, while “armchair detectives” spend hours poring over old case files and interviews, in the hope that they’ll somehow manage to finish the job real detectives have failed to.
While the public loves a good serial killer mystery, it turns out that not all of those stories may actually be true. Because of false leads or questionable evidence, several well-known cases have turned out to be more fiction than fact. Here are some notorious serial killers who may have never existed.

I had no idea Elizabeth Bathory might have been innocent. Thank you for the entire piece, but especially for that segment.
Very interesting and worthwhile video.
some weird people and stories in this world
Never heard of The Halifax Slasher, The Red Spider, The Phantom Of Heilbronn, Wearside Jack, The Salish Sea Feet(or, at least, not that term. However, I have heard of the whole deal with the shoes, and sometimes feet still in the shoes.). Jack The Ripper, yes, but never heard of the theory of more than one of them.
Back in 2008-2015 the tv show “The Mentalist” the Smiley Face killer know as Red John killed Simon Bakers character family and occasionally show up killing others.

Love the quality of your research guys. Countess Elizebeth Bathory wasn't placed under house arrest in her castle, she was walled up alive in it.
What a unique topic, well done! I love that this channel has been covering crimes, you guys do a great job.
I've been to Fleet Street and there is a building called The Dundee Courier which was allegedly a barber shop back in the 1800s, and there was a bakery around the corner from there. It could be a coincidence but idk man, it seems plausible that this was it.
Interesting video. I hope you are doing well
3 points: 1. Bathory isn't the only historical serial killer who might have innocent. Some say the same about Gilles de Rais. 2. The multiple Ripper theory is interesting, and I've heard the same theory about the Boston Strangler. 3. So the Red Spider wasn't real. I always wondered why more wasn't written about this guy. No wonder- he doesn't exist!
Idk the Pacific northwest has quite A lot of serial killers I wouldn't just write them all off as missing drowned just because the foot is all that's found
How 'bout the Sawney Bean family? (Listen to Snakefinger's song for a quick history lesson.) Recent research may indicate this real-life Texas Chainsaw family might not have even existed in the first place...
Thank you. Always interesting 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's believed that the smiley face killer are a group of killers.
Anyone know the narrators name?
Nice underwood! I have two of those.
Elizabeth Bathory WAS related to Vlad the Impaler (aka the real Count Dracula). Just sayin'. And the word abattoir (slaughterhouse) comes from her name.

So does the word "bathroom", allegedly.
Not entirely surprised people think sweeney todd was real It was a book (called the string of pearls apparently he had a weird laugh, was scared of dogs, and posioned mrs lovett who had Anthony as a slave) that became a musical then one of my fav movies Good scary story even if it didn't happen
You cannot tell me That the Hash Slinging Slasher isn't real. I've seen him on TV.
Smiley face turned face sideways and they called him Pacman.
Plot twist, jack the ripper was the work of the gang from clockwork orange 😂😂😂
always thought sweeney tood was just a play
There was no injuries on the bodies so where did the torture thing come from?
:-) killer has been going on since the early 80s
Is this a rip off also
There's a case I wonder what happens on TV on TV channels that cancel a show or cartoon what happens to it that's the only trash or goes back to doing a crazy show or the cartoon

What are you trying to say? Is that word salad a question? Your comment looks like you used predictive text, got gibberish and posted it anyway.
