Joe Ball who was also known as he Alligator Man is believed to have killed 20 or more women in the 1920's and 1930's. He kept alligators in a pond and charged people to watch the alligators eat.

When Ted escaped from Jail he headed to Florida where he went on to commit more murders for which he was sentenced to death and executed for.

10. Pee Wee Gaskins
Some people may argue with the order they are listed and a lot of people have serious questions about the actual amount of people Henry Lee Lucas really did kill. We probally will never know the right number but he was a serial killer and many police argue that 200 is a low number when you combine Lucas and Toole. Many police officials also think Bundy may have been credited with some kills by Gary Leon Ridgway while others feel Ridgeway may have been credited with several of Bundys earlier kills.
None of our American Serial Killers even compare though to Harold Shipman from the UK who is credited with 250 plus kills. He was a Doctor ( General practitioner) who was the worst serial killer in the UK and probally the worst serial killer in the world.

What Do You Think About Serial Killers. Why not post your comments now. Loading...
its not right to kill someone for any reson the law are biggest killers ever just becuse i kill someone dosnt mean u should do the same two rongs dont make a right ted bundy did kill alot of women but that dosnt mean he should die for it he should rot in prison for life
That John Wayne Gacy in his clown suit is sooo scary. I am scared of clowns now. But it is not right to kill someone/ lots of people and then hide them underneath your house now is it? But if I were gonna kill somebody then hide them do you know where I would hide them? In a cemetery so then it will look as if someone that was close to me had just died then I would put all of the evidence in there to and I would then move to another country.
TO GET INSIDE THE MIND OF A SERIAL KILLER YOU HAVE TO THINK LIKE A SERIAL KILLER I QUOTE RICHARD RAMIREZ KILLING IS KILLING WEATHER IT'S FOR DUTY, PROFIT OR FUN
cseidel198875, its because of people like you that killers are aloud to get out on bail and kill again. I get the feeling youd change your mind if these people killed someone close to you.
There is no negotiating with some people, no reform possible. Sometimes the only answer is execution for the good of the community. It's sad that it has to get to that point, but thats just the way the world is.
I THINK HE WAS IGNORANT...THOSE FEMALES DID NOT ONE THING TO HIM FOR THEM TO KILL THEM...EVEN IF MAJORITY OF THEM WERE POSTITUTES. HE IS SICK AND SHOULD SUFFER
why are some people can keep a cool head and some kill for what ever reasone?
Interesting hub. Thank you for the research and information. God Bless You.
a life for a life.
why is h.h. Holmes not on that list he is suspected of over 230 murders and then he frauded a lot of their insurances killed 3 kids and woul torture the victims and sell their cleaned bones to colleges for the class skeletons
i'm also happy that charles manson is not there he is always considered a serial killer but he never killed anyone and he was more of a power craver not one of thoose life/death people
manson was a manipulater he made others do his deeds gacy was a closet homosexeual/homophobe he hated what he was and also got pleasure from it ed gein was believed to see his dead mother and did what his mother said also he gained pleasure of keeping body parts and uses them as eating utensuls and also making a human body suit of his victims majority of them reacently deceased he robbed the graves of females and would make love to fresh corpses simple case of necropheolia and cannibalism
A true list, these people are the worst in humans.
Why does everyone forget about H.H. Holmes?
Albert fish should be top of the list
This is crime writer Tony Stewart. I have just completed the ONLY book written on serial killer Patrick Wayne Kearney and would like to add info ans a link to your page. He killed from 32 to 43 people and went to prison for life without a trial to avoid the death penalty. I knew the killer personally and was the ONLY survivor. The book was written with the assistance of several detectives and relatives of victims. Please contact me if you are interested. Thank you for your time. Tony Stewart
serial killing is an act of hostility, of course. Unpleasant news will delivered everyday in the newspaper and knowing another person died because of some psycho's urge. I find these people interesting because of how their brains work. why are they having these urges? that's what fascinates me most...
How do they get famous for killing people it crude
This is a great Hub--I like the videos you have here. It's hard to read about some of these people. In a way I feel bad for them.
this is crazy
Albert Fish was worse than all ten of those.

Crazyhorsesghost I just watched movies and specials about Bundy , Ridgeway and Shipman. You know I did not know that much about Shipman. I was surprised with how many people he killed.
