What if we could come back from the dead? Would you want to be jump-started back to life? Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" was just a fanciful scifi/horror novel, right? Shelley was actually inspired by real-life experiments that started in the 1700s and still continue, more than likely, today. Join me on this adventure through reanimation as we open the Death Box!

Ever sit around wondering about cremation? Well, even if you aren't weird like me, you might find the history and process fascinating. The Cremation Association of America is in the business of selling people on cremation and this episode is my attempt to do just that. Give you a burning desire to go out by fire!

Ep. 5 - Burning Desire

Death is said to be the Great Equalizer. Burial however can be anything but equal.  For those who are left unidentified, unclaimed or poor, the final destination is many times, a Potter's Field. Legends and ghost tales abound about improper burials or desecrated graves leading to ghostly activity. On this episode, I talk about the history of the Pauper Field and cover several of these locations found throughout America and Canada.
