Send us a text We explore the notorious tale of body snatchers William Burke and William Hare, who murdered 17 people in 1820s Edinburgh to sell their bodies to medical schools. Their gruesome business emerged from a shortage of legal cadavers when only executed criminals' bodies could be used for dissection. • Edinburgh was a center for medical science in the 1800s with "operating theaters" designed for students to observe procedures • Families used creative methods to protect graves including 24-hour surveillance, metal coffins, and protective cages called mortsafes • Burke and Hare began their crimes opportunistically when a lodger died naturally, then progressed to murder by suffocation • Their victims were primarily vulnerable people including the elderly, prostitutes, beggars, and people with disabilities • Dr. Robert Knox purchased all their victims' bodies but escaped prosecution despite suspicions • After their arrest, Hare testified against Burke in exchange for immunity • Burke was executed in 1829 and his body was dissected, with his skeleton displayed at Edinburgh University and his skin made into souvenirs • The murders led to the Anatomy Act of 1832, which expanded the legal supply of cadavers for medical education If you find yourself in Scotland, visit the Surgeons' Hall Museums or the anatomy collections at the University of Edinburgh to see artifacts from this dark chapter in medical history.

Send us a text We explore the chilling legend of Camp Wendigo in Windsor, Massachusetts, a former children's summer camp with a dark reputation for paranormal activity and a gruesome, though unverified, history of murder. The tale reveals how local legends can evolve from grains of truth and reflect the collective anxieties of a community. • Founded in 1942 by two Smith College physical education professors on 75 acres of former farmland • Originally designed as a place for children to learn hands-on farming and outdoor skills • Named "Wendigo," which refers to a cannibalistic supernatural creature in Native American folklore • Legendary story claims a camp counselor murdered six young girls and then committed suicide • No historical evidence supports the murder story, despite extensive searches through town records • Several young women did go missing or were murdered in the surrounding area in the 1970s-80s • Demolished in 2015 by the state after years of abandonment and deterioration • Numerous visitors reported strange experiences including phantom footsteps, mysterious figures, and unexplained phenomena • Courtney visited in 2011 and got her car stuck, requiring a tow truck and emergency services • Former campers recall positive memories of caring for animals and enjoying the natural surroundings If you've heard of Camp Wendigo or have thoughts about it, send us a message on Instagram or Facebook, or text us. We're reaching out to someone who claims to know more verified stories about the camp's history.
