    The Men Who Stole Bodies for a Living Fresh graves didn’t always stay closed. In the 18th and 19th centuries, there was a growing demand for human bodies. Not from criminals. From medical schools. Doctors and anatomy students needed corpses to study the human body, practice surgery, and advance medical knowledge. But legally available bodies were limited.

  2. 📰 | Die Body Snatchers von Edinburgh bei „Science Crimes“

    Bei #ScienceCrimes verschlägt es Maximilian Doeckel und Jonathan Focke diesmal in ein dunkles Kapitel der Geschichte Schottlands: Auf den Spuren von William Burke & William Hare decken sie auf, welcher #Verbrechen sich die sogenannten „#Resurrectionists“ schuldig gemacht haben. Im #SkeptixBlog macht Bernd Harder klar, dass es auch außerhalb #Schottland|s zu solchen Taten gekommen ist.

  5. R. I.P #DonaldSutherland. A marvellous actor, unique style. He was scary as hell in #BodySnatchers. Will always associate him with the clip of #Cloudbusting from #KateBush.

  7. #vss365 prompt: "Doppelganger"

    Can’t you see? They’re here, you fools!
    They’re in our houses, towns and schools.
    You have to believe me—I swear to God!

    Or be a mindless doppelganger…
    I’ll end this with a cliffhanger.
