Fascinating story here. If you have never heard of H.H. Holmes, I suggest picking up a copy of Devil in the White City. In the meantime, here's a wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._H._Holmes
"Holmes trapped and murdered possibly hundreds of guests at his Chicago hotel, which he opened for the 1893 World's Fair."
This is what made me post here:
"Holmes also cremated their bodies and placed them in lime pits for destruction. Holmes had two giant furnaces as well as pits of acid, bottles of various poisons, and even a rack to create a race of "giants."
"He wrote various contradictory accounts of his life, initially claiming innocence, and later that he was possessed by Satan."

"He sensed that his own countenance was changing as he sat in prison, and that he looked more satanic than before. "I have become afflicted with that dread disease, rare but terrible...a malformation... My head and face are gradually assuming an elongated shape. I believe fully that I am growing to resemble the devil - that the similitude is almost completed."
Is that not the creepiest quote you have ever read?
"Holmes had made a request: He wanted no autopsy and he instructed his attorneys to see that he was buried in a coffin filled with cement. This was taken to Holy Cross Cemetery south of Philadelphia and two Pinkerton guards stood over the grave during the night before the body was finally interred in a double grave also filled with cement."
A series of bizarre fires proceded his death, lending further mystery to this unique scourge. As I read these articles I can't help but ponder the name, The Father of Lies to describe Satan.
