24 Reese’s miniature cups (wrapped in gold foil, but unwrap for the cookies)
120 pieces candy corn
48 small edible eyeballs
24 yellow or orange Reese’s Pieces
24 red mini M&M’s
Instructions
Prep : Preheat the oven based on the peanut butter cookie dough directions.
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper, baking mat, or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place 12 cookie dough balls per cookie sheet making sure to leave 2-inches of space between each one. Use the palm of your hand, or a flat bottomed glass, to flatten the dough balls so the top is flat.
Bake the cookies according to the package directions. When done, allow the cookies to cool on the warm tray for about 10 minutes before removing them to a cooling rack to cool completely before decorating.
Decorate The Turkey Cookies
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 second increments, stirring well after each one, until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Dip the bottom of a miniature Reese’s peanut butter cup into the melted chocolate and place it in the center of the cookie, in the lower third of the cookie, to create the turkey head. Create the turkey feathers by dipping one side of five pieces of candy corn into the chocolate. Then place them in a fan shape above the Reese’s. Dip a Reese’s Pieces into the chocolate (just the bottom side) and then press it into the Reese’s cup to form the beak. Gently press a mini M&M next to the beak to form the wattle of the turkey. You may need to dip the mini M&M in the melted chocolate or it might just stay by itself. Dip the bottom side of two candy eyeballs into the melted chocolate and add them to the top of the Reese’s cup for the eyes, above the beak.
Allow the cookies to set for 20-30 minutes before serving.
For a while now, there’s been some talk about John Fetterman being a moderate Democrat—someone Republicans could work with and find common ground. I was taken in for a bit myself, but then I read this article: Fetterman is a Psyops, written by Jett Cross. I present it below so you can decide for yourself.
Fetterman is a Psyops You don’t erase a radical past. You rebrand it. Control isn’t always about silence. Sometimes it’s about agreement. When conservatives crave unity more than truth, deception becomes easy. A “common-sense” mask can hide the most dangerous ideology. Fetterman’s rebrand started in 2022. The campaign ends in the White House.
BRIEFING
Jett here. Senator John Fetterman isn’t a Dem with an identity crisis. He’s a psyop. Let’s get into it.
You can see the entire blueprint if you just stop staring at the dirty hoodie long enough. Every piece of his history lines up like a case file: the Clinton-era AmeriCorps progressive grooming ground, the Obama-style activist mayor years, LGBTQ flags flapping off the statehouse, a hard push for pardons and commutations that law enforcement publicly hated, and a Marxist/BLM worldview he quietly scrubbed the second it turned inconvenient. None of that vanished, guys. It just got repackaged.
The story the media, and way too many on the right, are peddling is simple: “Finally! A sane, working-class Democrat who tells it like it is.” Come on, guys. Really? You’re buying this snake oil? This isn’t some political evolution for John Fetterman. It’s backroom engineering by slick consultants who get paid obscene amounts of money to turn activists into presidents. Just ask Barry. Somewhere around 2022, Fetterman’s team flipped the switch from progressive radical to “common-sense” populist. He probably saw The Squad collapsing under its own insanity and decided to switch gears. Smart move, actually. But let’s be real, it’s the same guy, voting the same way, just wrapped in new optics. Fetterman didn’t stumble onto the moderate middle; he discovered a marketing lane.
He’s testing out the next Democratic prototype: a “reasonable” leftist who talks like he hates the radicals but still feeds the same machine. A populist costume for Marxist wiring.
DEBRIEF
Fetterman’s rebrand isn’t random; it’s patterned, calculated, and documented. His history reads like a manual for building the next Democratic psyop: start in the activist trenches, collect the right allies, reframe the optics, and wait for America to forget who you were or think you had some “come to Jesus” awakening.
THE ORIGIN STORY: AMERICORPS & BRADDOCK
Before he was Pennsylvania’s “everyman senator,” John Fetterman was the poster child for Clinton-era activism. His political DNA starts with AmeriCorps, the government-funded “service” program built to funnel radical young progressives into government-approved activism. That’s where he learned how to moralize policy and dress ideology up as compassion.
DOGE: AmeriCorps was a viper's nest of DEI and climate change initiatives. With a budget north of $1 billion the agency was rife with fraud, waste, and abuse failing 8 consecutive audits. Biden's Inspector General admitted that he had no idea when the agency could pass an audit.… pic.twitter.com/pcBn0GrAwT
After AmeriCorps came Braddock, the struggling steel town he used as his own personal political laboratory. Fetterman didn’t just move there; he branded himself as its savior. The media loved the optics: a tattooed, Harvard-educated bald progressive “reviving” a dying Rust Belt town. But behind the photo ops was the same formula AmeriCorps taught him: frame decay as injustice, pitch government as salvation, and call it compassionate service. Except, oops, it didn’t work. Braddock didn’t thrive under Fetterman’s leadership. Actually, it flatlined. The population kept shrinking, poverty stayed high, and violent crime actually went up. The “model town” story was a mirage built for campaign ads. SOURCE In his entire tenure as the mayor of Braddock, John Fetterman cast a single vote at a city council meeting and it was a meaningless one. It was a procedural vote for borough president. So, what happened next? This is always our favorite part of the story. What were the results? How did Braddock, Pennsylvania, fare under the leadership of John Fetterman? That’s really the only question that matters and again, we want to be as fair and objective as we can be. So, we’re going to tell you that under his tenure as mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, the seas did not rise. That is true. Braddock is still on dry land. Of course, it’s very far from the ocean, but it’s still dry. So, his climate policy worked. He can be proud of that. Unfortunately, everything else fell apart in Braddock. People kept fleeing. Braddock’s population is currently at its lowest level ever recorded. The median income in Braddock, Pennsylvania, is $14,000 a year. More than a third of households in Braddock live below the poverty line. Braddock, by the way, has one of the highest crime rates in the state of Pennsylvania. In 2018, shortly after Fetterman left office, Braddock’s per capita murder rate was higher than it is in some of the most dangerous countries in the world. Honduras and Belize are safer than Braddock, Pennsylvania. So, that’s a failure and in a functioning system, a record like this would have disqualified John Fetterman from ever running for anything again. He failed demonstrably as a leader. It had a higher murder rate than Honduras and the lowest population ever recorded. Sorry, climate change didn’t improve the town. THE TRUST FUND MARXIST And here’s the part the media will never tell you: the “blue-collar everyman” schtick was financed by Daddy’s checkbook. Fetterman spent most of his adult life twiddling those big thumbs of his in school. First business school, then Harvard, where he collected a shiny but meaningless “Masters of Public Policy.” Not that it cost him anything. Daddy paid for the degrees, the lifestyle, probably copious amounts of pot and Doritos, and everything in between. SOURCE Fetterman had spent his adult life going to school — first to business school, then to Harvard for a so-called Masters of Public Policy, which for the uninitiated, is an utterly meaningless document that you pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to get in order to tell people that you went to Harvard. But in Fetterman’s case, it wasn’t expensive at all. It was free. His dad paid for it and paid for everything else. As the Philadelphia Inquirer put it, “For a long stretch, lasting well into his 40s, deep into middle-age, Fetterman’s main source of income came from his parents. They gave him and his family $54,000 in 2015 alone.” In other words, John Fetterman was a classic trustafarian, a flaky, middle-aged man looking for a purpose in life and in Braddock, Pennsylvania, he found one. In 2005, a year after arriving in Braddock, Fetterman announced he was running for mayor and amazingly, boldly, given that he was a professional student living off his rich family, John Fetterman decided to run as a blue-collar populist — but the media asked no questions. They loved it. In other words, John Fetterman wasn’t the blue-collar savior of Braddock — he was a trust-fund kid cosplaying as one. A middle-aged drifter living off his rich parents, playacting as a man of the people. And the media? They ate it up. In other words, John wasn’t some lumbering man of the people. He was a bored, privileged kid looking for purpose. Which should ring a bell for most of you, since this is a pattern that defines so many left-wing radicals. Wealthy parents are aimless and desperate to feel important, so they latch onto activism as a personality. And in Braddock, Fetterman finally found his stage. THE RADICAL RESUME: FLAGS, PARDONS & BLM From mayor to lieutenant governor, Fetterman waved every flag that defined the progressive movement. Literally. The LGBTQ flag, the marijuana leaf, and the “defund and forgive” message embedded in his pardons push. Law enforcement hated it, and he didn’t care. SOURCE
Senate candidate John Fetterman, D-Pa., has removed mentions of Black Lives Matter from his campaign website in the last month, a review of archived webpages showed.
The “issues” page on Fetterman’s website currently includes sections on inflation ,criminal justice reform, legalizing cannabis, renewable energy, immigration and several other topics, but doesn’t include any section devoted to Black Lives Matter. Archived copies of the page, though, show that as recently as Aug. 22, the same page highlighted Fetterman’s commitment to Black Lives Matter.
THE NETWORK: BERNIE, SOROS & THE DA CIRCUIT
When Fetterman says he’s “just a Democrat,” remember, he was Bernie’s guy first and Biden’s loyal foot soldier all along. The Bernie endorsement opened the door to Soros-aligned “justice reform” networks and their DA allies.
And yes, Fetterman’s tight with Soros-backed, soft-on-crime Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner… the guy who’s practically turned leniency into an art form. Krasner is the prototype of the Soros soldier: weaponizing the justice system, protecting criminals, and punishing law and order.
Here’s Fetterman calling Larry a “champion” of criminal justice reform.
Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman in an interview published on Tuesday said the concept of defunding the police “was always absurd.”
THE INNER CIRCLE: RADICAL SPOUSE & THE OBAMA PARALLEL
If you really want to understand the Fetterman playbook, look at his wife, Gisele. She’s not a background character. This woman is a full-blown activist with ties to the same progressive networks that shaped John. Pro-illegal immigration rallies, far-left advocacy, the whole package. Gisele isn’t softening his image. She’s reinforcing it.
In fact, the same “Defund the Police” movement that 2022 Fetterman called “always absurd” was the one his wife was proudly linked to.
Gisele Fetterman, the wife of Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman, campaigned over the weekend with several defund the police activists who promoted a bail fund that helped release a man accused of trying to assassinate a Kentucky politician.
Gisele Fetterman on Sunday posted a photo of herself during an American Indian Impact event in Philadelphia, posing alongside “Top Chef” star Padma Lakshmi, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., and Meena Harris, the niece of Vice President Kamala Harris. A video later tweeted by John Fetterman, Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, showed his wife alongside “Scandal” star Kerry Washington urging voters to turn out for the midterm elections on Tuesday.
The wife of Democratic Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman claimed “swimming in America is very racist” — as she likened her husband’s use of closed captioning to turning up the brightness on a smartphone.
“Historically, swimming in America is very racist, and usually when you look at drowning statistics, it usually affects children of color, because of lack of access,” Gisele Fetterman said on the iGen politics podcast on Thursday.
If this story feels familiar, it should. We’ve seen this movie before; it’s the Obama character arc all over again. The activist past gets rewritten as “community organizing,” the Marxist edges get blurred out, and the radical couple gets sold as “inspiring.” Fetterman isn’t an outlier, guys. He’s the sequel.
THE REBRAND: THE SWITCH TO “COMMON SENSE”
In 2022, the hoodie-wearing radical shapeshifted into the Democrats’ “reasonable guy.” The BLM references vanished, the flag stunts stopped, and suddenly Fetterman is chatting with right-wingers while scolding left-wing extremists about open borders and antisemitism.
Sen. @JohnFetterman, D-Pa., tells @ChrisCuomo he would never compare anybody to Hitler, Nazis or fascists for having different views: “If that kind of extreme rhetoric is going to continue, we’re going to be more likely to result in extreme kinds of outcomes and political violence.”

And almost immediately, many conservatives started gobbling it up. Not all conservatives, thank God. This post nailed it. Fetterman isn’t repenting for his past radical sins. He’s repositioning.
Fetterman is dangerous. Hear me out… This isn’t some “new and improved” Fetterman. He’s a tried-and-true Marxist, always has been, always will be. There’s no miraculous change of heart here, no sudden moral awakening, and he’s definitely not doing us any heartfelt or moral favors with his “common sense” act. What he’s doing is calculated. He’s stepping into a space that’s wide open right now… the role of the so-called “common sense Democrat.” And it’s smart politics, because that image sells, especially now, as the Dem Party slides deeper into extremism. He sounds like an old-school Democrat who voted for Kennedy or cared about working-class families and values. But that’s not who Fetterman is. He’s a Marxist. This is carefully crafted camouflage. Just like Obama, he’s disguising his real politcal self and his motives under a common sense moderate mask. He’s presenting himself as relatable, reasonable, and even patriotic, while quietly clinging to the same Marxist ideology that shaped his politics from day one. And it’s going to work on a lot of people. Good, decent folks on our side who want to believe we can find some middle ground with these ghouls, will end up helping him build his power base and grow. That’s how this game is played. It’s not a transformation, it’s a strategy. And if we don’t recognize it for what it is, he’s going to walk into much bigger political shoes with our help, and make Obama look like a “cake walk.” Trust me…
Fetterman is dangerous. Hear me out…
This isn’t some “new and improved” Fetterman. He’s a tried-and-true Marxist, always has been, always will be. There’s no miraculous change of heart here, no sudden moral awakening, and he’s definitely not doing us any heartfelt or moral… https://t.co/BbCM7N7CSx
Fetterman’s common sense act is bait for very hungry conservatives who just want their country to get back to normal. By echoing MAGA’s frustration with radicalism, Fetterman neutralizes opposition and builds the trust he’ll need later. Conservatives boost his clips, convinced he’s “one of the good ones,” not realizing they’re helping his rise.
Case in point: an X account with nearly 170,000 followers insists it’s “beyond obvious” that Fetterman will go Republican soon. Never mind that he still votes with Democrats 96% of the time.
Fetterman will go Red soon. Its beyond obvious the left has joined forces with communism and radical Islam… They are sick.. Say NO TO CRISLAM God Bless America go Trump…. pic.twitter.com/USBnvoYhGr
Fetterman isn’t helping conservatives. He’s playing them. The man votes like a loyal Democrat while posing as Mr. Red Pill for soundbites that get him trending in MAGA circles. He’s not crossing the aisle, guys. He’s crossing wires, and many of you are falling for it hook, line, and sinker.
Until Fetterman VOTES to confirm Republicans in a tie breaking way, I don’t wanna see him on my timeline and I’ll assume conservative influencers are being paid under the table to promote him.
Until Fetterman VOTES to confirm Republicans in a tie breaking way, I don’t wanna see him on my timeline and I’ll assume conservative influencers are being paid under the table to promote him.
Reality check: Mr. Dirty Hoody is not challenging the Left’s power. He’s expanding it, one conservative retweet at a time. And you have to wonder… are some of these “influencers” getting paid to push the psyop?
THE FAKE FEUD: MANUFACTURED MODERATION
Now the media wants you to believe the Democrats are turning on Fetterman. Axios claims Pennsylvania Dems are plotting to take him out in 2028, painting this picture of poor John as the outcast, the man too “normal” for his own party.
Axios: “Top Democrats in Pennsylvania are maneuvering to run against Sen. John Fetterman in a 2028 primary contest… even as Democrats turn on him over his softened approach to President Trump.”
Give me a break. This isn’t a mutiny. I called PR and marketing. The Democrats need a reboot. Their brand has rotted from the inside out, and Fetterman is the test subject for the “new normal.” The party of gender lunacy and criminals has to look sane again before 2028, so what do they do? They pick a guy who can take friendly fire from the radicals and pretend it’s proof he’s moderate. Meanwhile, just 11 months ago, he was cozying up to The New York Times, strategizing on how to beat Trump at his own game.
That’s the game. The Left doesn’t eat its own unless it’s theater. Fetterman gets to play the role of the “anti-woke” Democrat while still voting 96% with the machine. It’s camouflage. By the time 2028 rolls around, they’ll have their “common-sense hero” who can charm independents, calm the suburbs, and ingratiate himself just enough with MAGA that the fight won’t be quite as bloodthirsty as in past elections.
NOW YOU KNOW
Fetterman isn’t the outsider they’re trying to silence. He’s the inside man they’re quietly building.
This Thanksgiving, go all out and be extra by folding your table napkins into turkeys before placing them on top of the plates. Your family and guests will love this for sure, they might even ask you how you did it. It’s super easy and quick to make and you can fold as many table napkins as you like. If you want to learn how then simply proceed to read the instructions down below and watch the video tutorial as well so that you can see how it is exactly done. I am so glad that I saw this video tutorial by Chinet on YouTube and I will surely try this at my Thanksgiving party.
Materials:
Table napkins
Directions:
Step 1
Unfold the table napkin, then lay it on your work surface, and fold the top corners down until the edges are nicely matching in the middle. Fold over both sides to meet in the middle, then fold both sides once more until nicely matching in the middle, and fold it down in half. Fold the tip up, then lift the half up so it resembles a turkey’s head, and set it aside.
Step 2
Grab another table napkin, then leave it folded lengthwise, and start folding it crosswise into an accordion. Leave about 3 inches at the end of the table napkin unfolded, then turn it over, and fold it over in half. Tuck the unfolded portion into the center accordion, then open it up, and it should resemble a fan. Place this on top of the turkey napkin and behind the head.
Now if all of that sounds a little complicated, there’s a video that might be easier to follow!
Cooking a turkey for the Thanksgiving meal can be overwhelming. Butterball Turkey hotline has been assisting home chefs for over 30 years. And in that time, you can imagine that they have had some pretty interesting questions. Here is a list of the most interesting questions they have been asked over the years. If you need that hotline, it’s open on Thanksgiving, call 1-800-288-8372 from 7am-7pm and normal hours are from 9am-7pm daily. This year, Butterball has also added the option of texting. Now through Thanksgiving, you can text the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line experts 24/7 at 844-877-3456.
1. So I’m looking at a turkey from 1969 sitting here in my father’s freezer … any tips on the best way to cook a 30-year-old bird? A man found a turkey in his dad’s freezer from 1969. The Talk-Line suggested the man throw out the old turkey and purchase a new one. Then, the Talk-Line suggested to cook the turkey in the open roasting pan method.
2. How do I roast my turkey so it gets golden brown tan lines — in the shape of a turkey bikini? A strange request in deed, but the Talk-Line can help in any turkey situation! The experts helped to create a “bikini look” by using aluminum foil in certain places on the turkey.
3. How to carve a turkey when all of its bones have been broken? A proud gentleman called to tell the staff how he wrapped his turkey in a towel and stomped on it several times, breaking the bones so it would fit in his pan. The experts wouldn’t recommend this approach — if you have several folks coming to your holiday meal but a small pan, the Talk-Line would recommend trying a different method, maybe deep frying the turkey. Or, buy two smaller turkeys in place of a large one.
4. I carved my turkey with a chainsaw … is the chain grease going to adversely affect my turkey? A gentleman called to tell the operator he cut his turkey in half with a chain saw and wanted to know if the oil from the chain would adversely affect the turkey. The Talk-Line wouldn’t recommend serving a turkey with chainsaw grease! Instead, let your turkey rest at least 20 mins after cooking to make carving easier. Then, using a carving knife you would find in your kitchen.
5. Why does my turkey have no breast meat? A disappointed woman called wondering why her turkey had no breast meat. After a conversation with a Talk-Line operator, it became apparent that the woman’s turkey was lying on the table upside down. The Talk-Line experts recommend cooking your turkey breast side up in the open roasting pan method. This will give you a flavorful turkey and make it easier when transferring your turkey to a plate so you don’t have to flip it over.
6. It’s my first Thanksgiving and I have a tiny apartment-sized oven … how much will my turkey expand when cooking? A new bride cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the first time in a small, apartment-sized oven, wanted to make sure her turkey wouldn’t expand during cooking (as baked goods do) and get stuck in the oven. Rest assured, your turkey will not expand in the oven. But be sure to use a pan with at least 2″ sides so your turkey juices don’t spill over during the cooking process … you want to save the juices for turkey gravy.
7. How do I get my turkey to stop sudsing? Is a soapy turkey recoverable? A first-time Thanksgiving chef called after she had washed her turkey with dish soap. You don’t have to clean your turkey, simply pat the extra juices dry with paper towels before stuffing or roasting the turkey – quite a bit easier than washing with soap!
8. For the sake of delicious smells, can I cook my turkey over the course of four days? The Talk-Line doesn’t recommend slow-cooking your turkey over the course of multiple days. You are able to use a slow cooker if needed, but experts would recommend 6-8 hours in the slow cooker. If cooking in the oven, it should only take a few hours to cook
9. How do I baste a pre-basted turkey? Some folks love to baste the turkey while it’s cooking. If you’re one of them, the Talk-Line suggests basting only a few times during the cooking process so you don’t continuously let out the heat of the oven.
10. My turkey thawed on my lap … can I eat it? A gentleman won a turkey at the casino, and brought it home on the bus where it had thawed. The safest way to thaw your turkey is in the refrigerator — it takes one day for every four pounds of turkey. The Talk-Line experts wouldn’t recommend eating a turkey that has been thawed in warmer temperatures.
The John List House became famous for a terrible family murder on November 9, 1971. Here, John List, an accountant and Sunday school teacher, killed his family. This included his wife Helen and their three kids – Patricia, John, and Frederick. After the crime, List carefully hid the bodies, turned all the lights on, and ran away.
The crime stayed hidden for a month until neighbors saw the lights always on at the John List House. This was in Westfield, New Jersey. When police arrived, they found the dead bodies. This started a big search for List that only ended in 1989. He got caught, and not long after that, he passed away in prison.
John Emil List was a character John Graff in the family massacre. He was seen as an accountant and a faithful Lutheran. He faced money problems and a lot of personal disappointment. Even though people thought he was a great family man, List killed his family at their Breeze Knoll home. His crime shook the country, leaving a deep mark on the community, still haunted by the memories of the 1971 family tragedy perpetrated by John List.
John List House
The John List House was a 19-room mansion on Hillside Avenue in Westfield, New Jersey. It belonged to John List, his wife, and their three kids. List, a stern Lutheran, and Sunday school teacher, lived there until something shocking happened in 1971. On November 9, 1971, John List did something terrible. He carefully planned and killed his whole family.
John List was a man who followed a detailed plan. After the awful events in 1971, he ran away. For 18 years List hid his real identity before the law caught up with him in 1989. The old List home burned down in 1996. Some believed it was set on fire on purpose. List’s story was covered by ABC News. People were captivated by his escape for nearly two decades.
List faced the public’s fury and was given five life sentences in prison. He died in 2008 at 82. The tragedy at the John List House still deeply affects its community and fans of true crime. Today, the mansion’s Tiffany glass skylight is a sad symbol of what happened there.
Architectural Importance of the List Residence
The John List House was designed in the Prairie School architectural style. This style was inspired by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Its key features include a low-pitched roof, wide eaves, and horizontal lines. These make it a prime example of early 20th-century residential design. A year after the tragic events in the house, it became a National Historic Landmark in 1972.
Frank Lloyd Wright and his peers led the Prairie School design movement. This was an American style that stood out from traditional European designs. The prestige of the John List House, in Oak Park Illinois attractions and famous architectural residences, reveals its modern approach to architecture. It welcomes visitors exploring architectural tours and those interested in prairie-style house museum experiences.
The John List House earned a title as a national historic landmark. This recognition highlights its role in early 20th-century residential design and its connection to Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture. The designation protects the house as a special architectural legacy. This is true even after the terrible events that took place there.
Manhunt for John List
After the murders on November 9, 1971, a nationwide manhunt began for John List. He had started a new life and run away from his home in Westfield, New Jersey. This case caught everyone’s eye across the US. List managed to hide for 18 years until his arrest in Colorado, in 1989. There, he was living as “Robert Clark”.
John List was searched for far and wide after he killed his wife and three kids in their 19-room mansion, called “Breeze Knoll.” He executed his plan with precision and then vanished. The mysteriously burned Victorian mansion was left behind, still holding its Tiffany glass.
Finally, in 1989, after avoiding capture for 19 years, a viewer of “America’s Most Wanted” recognized List. He was found guilty of the terrible murders. At 82, List passed away in prison in 2008.
Exploring the Crime Scene
When the police found the bodies at John List House, it was horrifying. List killed his wife Helen, daughter Patricia, and sons John and Frederick in the home’s ballroom. He then hid the bodies, turned on all lights, and ran away. He assumed a new identity and fled to Colorado.
Before the bodies were found, neighbors saw the lights on for a long time. This tells us List planned everything carefully. He even killed his mother before running. The fire that later destroyed the mansion is still a mystery. This event made the house even more frightening.
The John List House became a reminder of a gruesome act. The list ended the lives of his family in the ballroom. This room, usually for joy, witnessed something horrible.
Neighbors were deeply shocked. A neighbor spotted List on TV news after the murders. This added to the feeling of betrayal and shock in the community. The fire, which burned the house, made the place even scarier. It made people wonder if the house was forever cursed by this sad event.
Rumors and Legends Surrounding the House
After the brutal murders at the John List House, it became a center of ghost story myths and tales. Locals said they saw ghostly figures in the windows and heard strange noises. The mystery deepened when the house burned in 1996 in an unsolved arson case.
Those interested in true crime and the supernatural are often intrigued by this place, especially knowing it was once the residence of family killer John List. Some say they felt the presence of a hidden “watcher” or experienced odd events in the attic closet. The John List House has earned a reputation as a major “murder house” in the U.S.
The Associated Press and Connie Chung have covered the ongoing rumors and myths about the house, making it a landmark in true-crime show history. Even years after the murders and the arson, the List House remains a subject of interest.
Local tales from N.J. speak of odd noises and sightings at night under the glass skylight. Some claim to have seen a “watcher” on the property. This has led to the belief that the ghosts of the List family remain among sleeping bags in the house.
The mystery surrounding the John List House is a mix of reality and legend, all tied to its dark past. It remains a place of fascination for fans of the macabre and the mysterious. Even a month later, after the neighbor recognized List and authorities were called, the mansion still captures people’s interest.
Preservation Efforts and Future Plans
The John List House has a tragic past, but people aim to honor it. The Antieau Gallery in Westfield, New Jersey organized shows about its history. These included the 1971 murders. Sadly, a fire in 1996 destroyed the house. Now, only the foundations and a Tiffany glass skylight remain.
The future of the site is unclear. The property, once home to the 19-room mansion called “Breeze Knoll”, attracts many. Historians, true-crime lovers, and people interested in the dark tale of murderer John List. New Jersey’s history is eager to see what comes next.

History of the American Foxhound
The American Foxhound, originally bred in the colonial era for hunting foxes, reflects a rich history intertwined with the development of early American society. As settlers moved into the New World, they brought with them various hound breeds, which they selectively bred to adapt to the diverse terrains and hunting needs of America. These breeding practices emphasized endurance, speed, and a keen sense of smell, essential traits for tracking and chasing foxes across vast landscapes.
The historical significance of the American Foxhound goes beyond its role in hunting; it symbolizes the melding of European traditions with American innovation.
