An internet video mystery that began as a VHS mystery. "Grave Robbing for Morons" is video that was released as part of an anthology of amateur, shock videos. It shows a young man presenting a how-to about grave robbing. While the video is of low quality, what jumps out is that the skull the man holds throughout the video appears very real. However, no one has been able to confirm if the video is a hoax, the identify the young man, or where it originated.
