Enter the world of body snatching: where “resurrection men” dug up corpses to sell to desperate surgeons, grieving families installed booby traps in coffins, and the black market for human remains turned deadly. From infamous cases like Burke and Hare in Edinburgh to the rise of coffin torpedoes (yes, exploding coffins were real), this episode digs into the corpse-filled history of body snatching—and all the wild, grim, and downright absurd ways people tried to stop their loved ones from becoming someone else’s anatomy lesson. So light a candle, lock your crypt, and join us for a tale where the grave was just the beginning.
