Re: the Nighstalker. The video is absolutely right, we were absolutely terrified back in the 80's. Give that I grew up many many miles away from where the events took place, never in my life did I expect I would end up having a slight personal connection to it, and Elisa Lam's case, and the Black Dahlia's case.
Back in 2015 a former friend invited me to come to his building in old Downtown LA (an area once referred to as Skid Row) because I wanted to take some pretty pictures of the downtown skyscrapers and experiment with taking pictures to stitch together to make a panorama. The lobby of the building was gorgeous, opulent art deco and marble. Then we ascended in the cramped elevator. We reached the top of the shaft and exited into a rather cramped hallway that just felt old. I'd never seen a 1930's interior before so this was new to me. We climbed a small unassuming flight of stairs and he opened a door. We had to go through quickly so the alarm didn't summon the police and we were out on the roof.
A quick squeeze between some giant water tanks and a 16 story drop and we were at our destination: a blank piece of rooftop where I could put my camera bag down and just take in the view. And my god, what a view it was. It happened to be a pretty clear night so the typical haze was missing, leaving me a fantastic view out into the Los Angeles valley all the way to the ocean.
That building we were standing on top of? The Cecil Hotel.

It's quite interesting how different people grow up, even though their starting points may be the same. But then I guess for serial killers, many other things go wrong and they become monsters.
Yet another reason why getting older should be a kind of driver's license. And that there should be some more specific system for getting substance abusing parents into treatment and children placed in a safer growing environment. Of course, even in these, social services and child protection have made bad mistakes by not checking the backgrounds of the people they give children to. But here again, money talks and not having enough staff. And the fact that the heads of state don't care. Although there are probably quite a few narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths in power there too.

It is estimated that about 40 million Americans actually have Irish roots. In fact, Bram Stoker, who was Irish by birth, wrote Dracula inspired not so much by the Romanian Dracula story, but by an ancient Irish story named: Abertach.
It is strange for Vlad the Impaler Dracula how the Ottomans managed to divert attention from themselves and tell the world that Dracula was evil when the Ottomans were killing with impunity all over Europe and they were the real villains.
So Dracula is a product of Saxon, Vatican and Ottoman rumours, but not an actual villain.
Dracula was a hero to me defending his lands from the real villains, the Ottomans.

I had a teacher that was psychopathic and her victim preference was African American boys because she wanted to be a slave owner in 2008. She would act like the right side of the class was a plantation and the left side was the big house. Black boys were not allowed to go outside during recess and had to stay in the class not allowed to talk to each other or look her in the eye while talking to her because she said eyeballing is disrespectful I worked with the best psych tech in the Navy when we were both Corpsman and I told him about her and asked him if she was a psychopath and he sad without a doubt.

It's strange, but the 80s were the era of psychopaths in America.
Just last night I was looking for the torture bunker where even babies were roasted. It happened in the year 85.
And as I watched I thought, God, John Wayne Gacy was still alive then, Ramirez, and so was Jeffrey Dahmer too. A strange, haunted times back then. Just like American Horror Story tells in Season 5, The Hotel when all bad spirits has coming back to haunt The Hotell.
Great video again, Mojo-Jojo.

There is a young man named Daniel Marsh who scored 38. 5 out of a possible 40 with his psychopathy diagnosis - higher than Jeffrey Dahmer(23/40) and John Wayne Gacy(27/40.
His boasting about his murder of an elderly couple to a girlfriend and a best friend led to his downfall as they tipped off police. If he didnt brag, he wouldn't have been a suspect. He wanted to keep killing but his narcissism prevented that.

John Martin Crawford
AKA Saskatoon Lady Killer was a Canadian serial killer. Crawford was convicted of killing four women in Saskatchewan and Alberta, between 1981 and 1992. After his 1993 arrest by Saskatoon Police Service he was sentenced to life and spent it at Regional Psychiatric Centre and was there until his
2020 death. That should be on your next video should call at 10 Worst Canadians.

Mr.
Jim Jones should be easily #1 of all time; he manipulated hundreds of people by founding a cult, forced them to emigrate from the United States to the South American jungle, established a city in his name, and compelled the entire population to commit mass suicide (more than 900 victims, the highest number of Americans killed for non natural causes after September 11. The ultimate primary psychopath.

You guys should ve also include Lawrence Singleton AKA The Mad Chopper. He perpetrated the the infamous rape and mutilation of Mary Vincent when she brutally raped her then chopped her arms off before throwing her off a cliff to die. She however miraculously survived and went on to testify against Singleton in court. Seriously he was a mean S. O. B!

All these people on this list are or were monsters! I can't believe they would do these things! They should have been raised better. I feel sorry for all their victims. I would protect them. Number one is the only person I'm familiar with. I learned about him when I was in high school and was scared. I felt better when I found out he was dead.

You left out the scariest bit about Albert Fish. He claimed to have cannibalized a child from every state and even wrote to the parents of one of his victims about disturbing details such as how delicious their daughter tasted. When he died, they found over a hundred needles in him which he had put there himself.

If you ask me I say the Worst serial Killer in the US is Richard Ramirez because he KNEW what he was doing was Evil and he Took Pride in it and he was a Satanist which made it WORSE (I would disagree over Ted Bundy cause he At least was Honest about himself and showed remorse for a majority of his actions)

I think Karla should be on here. I mean just bc she stopped killing doesn't redeemed her from what she did even to her own sister. The fact that maybe some who doesn't know who Karla holmolka is makes her worse than these psychopaths. You'll never know when she will strike

Not to glorify the killings, but I am constantly surprised when the serial killer from my hometown makes it on lists like these. Dennis Rader. True crime is very interesting to me. If my life had gone differently, I might have gone into the forensic sciences.

Dishonorable mention should've been Uday Hussein. In addition to his many atrocious acts and insane random brutality/murders he was shockingly submissive and passive in his father Saddam Hussein's presence. He was the only person Uday truly feared.

What is quite funny because there's more evidence that points to Holmes not being a serial killer. The only death he can be 100% assigned to was his business partner in an insurance scam

Unfortunately their are too many monsters left off this list. You should make a list of military or world leaders who were psychopaths because they were more successful at the body count.

I I I with Dahmer. At least he s close with most of the people profiled here. They just don t see their victims as anything other than something they can step on to gratify themselves.

_Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile_ painted a vivid picture of the fearsome, notorious psychopath Ted Bundy, and the title alone is a hauntingly accurate description of him.
