In this episode of the NVus Alien Podcast, Heather Woodward is joined by Michael Williams, Director of the Oklahoma Territorial Museum and the Historic Carnegie Library, to unravel one of the strangest true crime stories in American history.

 Elmer McCurdy was a failed train robber in the early 1900s. In life, he was forgettable. In death, he became famous.

After being killed in a shootout in 1911, McCurdy’s embalmed body was never claimed. What happened next sounds like an urban legend, but it’s documented history. His mummified remains were displayed in carnivals, traveling sideshows, wax museums, and even on a Hollywood film set. For sixty-five years, people paid money to stare at him.
