Hmmm... I've read that Harry H. Holmes poisoned (or chloroformed) his victims, dissected them, dissolved their bodies in lime, then collected on their insurance. I'd never heard he tickled anyone, but who knows? Since none of his Worlds Fair unfortunates survived to tell the tale, a lot of the details are speculative.

The link that you show here mentions torturing but it doesn't specifically say tickling. Do you have a link tjat actually mentions tickling?

No offense...but this isn't erotic or even funny. This man was evil incarnate. I hope he spends the rest of eternity in his own personal hell.

I suppose we can put this down as urban legend, one of many

Wow,that was quite a story,but to say this man tickled the victims to death is ridiculous.As you can tell from the story,he did far worse to his poor victims then a little tickling.He actually tortured the poor people,did horrors far more then anyone here could ever imagine...or want to.Not only that but you wouldn't want such a thing to be true.When things like that actually happen it gives fetishes a bad name.

PRECISELY! PEOPLE LIKE THIS GIVE US FETISH LOVERS A BAD NAME! I hope he spends the next 27,000 years in hell seeing nothing but the faces of the people he killed laughing and mocking him!

I remeber that man who told me this was from spain, so I tried
by pure chance search on spanish - here is the reference

Unless you have a special interest in crime history, there's probably no need. Harry Holmes is notorious as an early and very prolific (also cruely sadistic) US serial murderer. No fetish element attaches to this story that I'm aware of; perhaps it's referenced in the second article Ideneide linked to, but it's in Spanish, which I can't read. I'm extremely dubious, in any case (as he says, most likely urban myth... )

Wikipedia has an article on this monster so unfortunately it looks like this horror was actually a true story.

No,probably not.He was a very violent person.He tortured people he lured into his boarding house.I don't think he tickled anyone or that it had an underlying sexual intent.He was just a evil guy who enjoyed watching people suffer and die at his hands.
