The episode where Boydston brings us some 1800s true crime. She’s really into this era lately, so this is the story of the Burke and Hare murders. Taking place in 1828 in Scotland, these guys essentially took body snatching for the purposes of anatomy practice to the extreme. Meaning, murder. Look, resurrection men were pretty common back then but killing people to be able to donate their bodies to science…wasn’t. Not a good look, but a fascinating look at history! www.thetipsyghost.com
