The Killer No One Has Ever Heard Of

In the dimly lit streets of Savannah, Georgia, circa 1881, a sinister figure known as “The Bonesaw” cast a chilling shadow over the city. Described as dressed in a dark suit and cloak wearing a late 19th century top hat. The Bonesaw was no ordinary killer; he reveled in the macabre, leaving behind a gruesome signature: the dismemberment of his victims with a bone saw used for amputations.

Thought to be a former Confederate Civil War doctor. The Bonesaw’s reign of terror began innocuously enough—a missing seamstress here, a vanished dockworker there. But as the body count rose, so did the panic. The townsfolk spoke of a phantom who moved silently through the fog-shrouded streets, his eyes gleaming with madness. The Bonesaw’s victims were found in alleyways, their limbs neatly severed, their faces twisted in eternal horror. One victim Ms. Jennings was actually found still alive in an alley coughing blood with nothing but a torso and head. Her limbs were strewn around haphazardly. They had missed him by minutes.

The Bonesaw was never identified and the detective obsessed with his captured became insane after retirement and was locked in the Stanley Asylum until he died in 1898.
