There are many serial killers within the U.S. but finding them is almost impossible. Even some people seem to believe that others can prevent serial killers by realizing “warning signs” in most people. However it really still will not help because most “ warning signs” are far-fetched and most people who are considered “normal” experienced these “warning signs” and they are not even known as serial killers, most are even actresses, actors, and even presidents.

Our impressions can go as far to be characterized in art and music - these types of messages may not at all appear human but still invoke an emotional response.

Cooper and written by Edgar Wallace and the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959)…
