In this haunting episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale takes you back to 19th century America, where Lydia Sherman—the infamous “Connecticut Borgia”—left a trail of death masked by domestic tranquility. With a soft smile and motherly warmth, Sherman lived a life that appeared ordinary. But behind her calm exterior was a methodical poisoner who turned her home into a house of horrors.

Using arsenic, Lydia murdered not one, but multiple husbands, children, and stepchildren—claiming their lives slowly and silently. Their deaths were initially believed to be due to illness or misfortune. But as the number of deceased mounted, whispers grew into suspicion, and a horrifying truth emerged.

Was Lydia Sherman a victim of a hard life, driven to kill by desperation and grief—or was she a remorseless manipulator, hiding her monstrosity behind the mask of motherhood? Through atmospheric storytelling and historical insight, Damien Vale unearths one of America’s earliest and most terrifying female serial killers. This is the story of Lydia Sherman—an angel of death wrapped in domestic innocence.

Through haunting narrative and forensic unraveling, Damien Vale explores the psychology and method behind Vickie Dawn Jackson’s deadly betrayal.
