Hamilton Howard ‘Albert’ Fish was an American serial killer, paedophile and cannibal. His terrifying crimes earned him monikers like ‘Gray Man’, ‘The Bogey Man’, ‘Werewolf of Wysteria’, ‘Brooklyn Vampire’ and ‘Moon Maniac’. He presented himself as an unassuming and harmless old man, but his bone chilling crimes put him on the list of one of the most deranged and brutal killers of all time. He once claimed that he had one victim in every state of the United States and that his victims were close to a hundred children. However, he was also known to be a compulsive liar who couldn’t separate fact from fiction. Nevertheless, he was executed for the kidnapping and murder of Grace Budd. He confessed to two more murders, giving chilling accounts of how he abused his victims and later killed them for his sexual fetishes. He was put to death in the electric execution chair at the Sing Sing prison facility.
