Coucou everyone!

You may know this story....but do you know all the horrifying details? Come to 19th century Scotland with the girls to hear all about how William Burke and William Hare murdered 16 people and sold their corpses to an anatomy professor...they really were a pair of greedy, evil brutes. Then, hear about an ancient tradition called "burning the clavi," which will help you stay safe from the evil eye!
