| 0:00.0 | This story obviously no one has ever done it before, but this is supposedly one of the oldest serial killers |
| 0:06.3 | and I really doubt you guys have ever heard of this. This is the book and this is on archive.org, |
| 0:13.1 | you know, the internet site that exists. Yeah, but this is from the Library of Congress. |
| 0:18.1 | Library of Congress in 1787. Wow. Only 11 years after the country was established. Crazy. |
| 0:25.1 | That's insane in the membrane. That's old. You know, did I tell you guys that I was |

| 1:28.2 | So in this book, this is what he says, I have killed nine persons, said the archfiend, |
