He Walled Up His Wife's Corpse. But Something Else Was Trapped Inside With Her | The Black Cat
A man who once loved animals more than anything confesses from death row how a single act of drunken cruelty against his beloved black cat set him on an inescapable path toward madness, murder, and supernatural vengeance.
