Hello from the gutters of New York City...

Join us for another American Haunting tale.

In the summer of 1976, a string of killings began in the New York City boroughs of Queens and the Bronx. Despite the modus operandi being similar throughout them, the police did not realize they had a string of serial murders until the following year. By the summer of 1977, the city was completely gripped in fear by these mysterious murders of young people in their cars, and yet nothing in the case made sense as descriptions of the assailants and composite sketches seemed to suggest there were multiple killers stalking the city with a 0.44-caliber revolver. What’s more, the killer(s) began taunting the police and press with cryptic letters, and over time, the killings would grow to resemble other killings across the country.

Was David Berkowitz the Son of Sam, or was he acting with a cult of Satanists stalking the American countryside?
