Throughout history, some people have felt the need or necessity to take the lives of others. Frankly, for most of history it has been an often necessary way to pass the millennia.

There are tales of psychosis, unsolved deaths with remarkable circumstances, a soul-gripping terror that ghosts would torment them for life, a tale of twins - neither of whom could live whilst both were alive, and more.
