THIS EPISODE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN!

This is a spooky episode, just in time for Halloween! The Victorian era was replete with persons deathly afraid of being buried alive! After all, in the 18th and 19thcenturies, there were no medical testing devices to determine death. Join Christi and Erick as they share story after story of persons buried alive who lived to tell about it…and those who didn’t!

Topics discussed include: medical conditions that may simulate apparent death; the London Association for the Prevention of Premature Burial; shocking death tests; precautions taken to ensure no person was buried alive; waiting mortuaries (Christi’s favorite); and safety coffins.
