House of Horrors Survivor's Chilling Tale

0:00On March 22nd, in the early 1970s, a young Australian woman named Karen Hamilton spent time lodging at 25 Cromwell Street in Gloucester, England during a working holiday. She had no idea the unassuming house belonged to serial killers, Fred and Rose West, who murdered at least 12 young women over two decades, bearing. Many bodies right under the floorboards and patio, including their own daughter Heather. The horror came to light in 1994, shattering Hamilton's world with a frantic call from her mother. Hamilton worked secretarial jobs by day, and bartended late nights at a local disco, often crashing in a top floor bed sit with her friend Liz to avoid, waking her elderly relatives. Fred gave her the creeps, so she kept her distance, and he warned her to stay away from a locked metal door in the basement. A persistent sickly smell from downstairs seemed like spoil food at the time. Looking back, Hamilton recalls eerie gut feelings that saved her. Once chatting with pregnant lodger Shirley Robinson in the bed sit, she fell violently

Another day, Rose invited her infrered tea with two quiet little girls at her side, but loud warning bells rang in Hamilton's head, urging her to leave. Police later confirmed, Fred strangled Shirley Robinson in that exact bed sit, using Liz's belt. Hamilton and Liz both survived unscathed, though they lost touch after the news broke. The house earned its grim nickname as The House of Horrors. Decades on, Hamilton reflects on those premonitions as lifelines amid the buried nightmares, a chilling reminder of evil hiding in plain sight.
