Karol Kot created a suffocating atmosphere of fear in Krak\xf3w in the 1960s. No one suspected a young, clean-shaven boy fresh out of high school to be the prowling beast. Before his 21st birthday, Kot was guilty of two murders, ten attempted murders and four instances of arson. After stabbing his victims, he licked the blood off the knife\u2019s blade, earning him the moniker of The Vampire of Krak\xf3w. Psychologists deemed his criminal mind to be the sort that only emerges once in a couple of million.\nSponsor:\n\nCalm \u2013 the number one mental wellness app. Go to calm.com/evidence for 40% off a Calm Premium Subscription.\xa0\nFor pictures and more information, join us on Facebook\n\nFor a full list of resources and credits visit Evidence Locker Website\n\nFor all sponsor discount codes, visit this page\n\nWant to support our podcast?
