In the episode The World’s Columbian Exposition of the TV series Timeless, the protagonists find themselves trapped in his hotel. [1] [2] [3]
Why is an unmade (likely never to be made) movie relevant but a TV show episode which fictionally depicted the events not relevant? Many movies that are planned are never made because they can't get the financing sorted or the main stars are committed to other projects. Someone Not Awful ( talk) 05:21, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

There is currently a dispute about the death date of H. H. Holmes, based on different contradicting sources.
"May 17, 1896:"
"May 7, 1896:"
Unless at least one additional reliable source for "May 17" is provided, I'm going to assume that this is a one-time factual mistake by the only source for this date. Nobody is perfect; this may well be a factual error in the documentation movie.

There has been lot of switching between Holmes's and Holmes' in this article's history. The AP style guide says to do Holmes', and that is what a lot of people are used to, but the wikipedia style guide says Holmes's, so thats what we need to stick with. Thanks.

The victim count has been reported as 9, 27, or 200+
The 9 number is the Pitezel family, plus Julia & Pearl Conner, Emeline Cigrand, and Minnie & Nannie Williams. Of these 9 Holmes was only proven to have killed Ben Pitezel. Only the Pitezel family was confirmed to be dead, the other 5 never were.
27 is how many people Holmes confessed to killing. (Note: some of these people were still alive at the time of the confession).
The 200+ number is nonsense from tabloids.
So the final victim number is 1 confirmed, and 9 total suspected.

I work in the archives at Exeter Academy, a student asked to see proof that Mudgett went here but I have not been able to find any proof that H. W. Mudgett attended Phillips Exeter Academy. It is not surprising that he isn't in the alumni catalogue for the time period: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015076324436&view=1up&seq=5
I wouldn't actually expect to find him in there, but I couldn't find him in the Register of Students or Register of Grades ledgers from the 1870s or 1880s -- no Mudgetts and no Holmes' there. Those resources are all handwritten ledgers, they aren't digitized and available online yet. I can't definitively prove he didn't go here, but I certainly can't prove he went here. I'd rather check in with others than just lop off a paragraph, but I do legitimately think the most likely scenario is that he didn't go to the Academy. The timeline doesn't work, the documentation doesn't line up, and I can't for the life of me find the source of the claim that he went here. It's driving me bonkers.

I am new to the wiki editing. Someone posted and vandalized the H.H.Holmes page by posting a picture of some sort of animal?* gore. It's very disturbing. If someone can fix this page, I would appreciate it. Thank you. 75.142.60.109 ( talk) 04:48, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
