Burke and Hare, Edinburgh's most ghoulish residents! In contrast to the increase in numbers of executions in the wake of the Bloody Code, the Judgement of Death Act 1823 saw the number of crimes punishable by death in Britain drop dramatically. Good news in theory, but since medical and anatomical schools were only legally allowed to dissect the bodies, or cadavers, of those who had been condemned to death, this led to an extreme shortage of dead bodies available. However, the financial compensation offered by medical schools meant that some unscrupulous types soon found a way around this shortage of bodies, leading to a rash of grave-robbing by those known as resurrectionists. Instances of grave-robbing became so commonplace that relatives were known to watch over the recently dug graves of their dearly departed and watch towers were installed in cemeteries across the land. The ‘fresher' the body, the more money it was worth, thus it didn't take long before grave-robbing graduated to anatomy murder – murder committed with the sole intention of providing the remains for medical research and attracting a monetary reward. The most infamous of which were the Burke and Hare Murders in Edinburgh, which occurred between 1827 – 1828.

In this week's bonus episode, Martin talks us through the ghastly crimes of Burke and Hare - with a side serving of the history of medicine!Part of the "Something Wicked" series, we start by chatting through the headlines of the Burke and Hare killing spree, including the Enlightenment-era craze for celebrity surgeons and 'anatomisation.' We then discuss how Scotland's fraught religious history enabled leaps forward in natural philosophy, necessitated the invention of things like 'mort safes,' and how ideas like Humorism and Sensibility had their roots in Ancient Mesopotamian and Ancient Egyptian concepts like 'Flow Theory,' curses, and exorcism.After chatting through Ancient Greek and Roman developments in medicine, including the Hippocratic Oath, and Medieval concepts like Leechbooks, we then loop back to the popularity of "operating theatres" - places where surgeries were performed for paying customers - and how the profit motive drove demand for corpses. Ideally ones that were still warm. And why this, in turn, inspired Burke, Hare, and the surgeon Robert Knox, to make some ghastly leaps in logic, the consequences of which were still being felt well into the 20th century...The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Over the years, her enterprise morphed into a family business, with both her sons dedicating their lives to the wax museum. In 1829, Madame Tussaud and Sons scored one of their biggest hits of the '20s with controversial effigies of Burke and Hare, Edinburgh-based murderers who sold their victims' cadavers to anatomists for dissection. Show notes and full transcripts available at www.artofcrimepodcast.com.If you'd like to suppor the show, please consider becoming a patron at www.patreon.com/artofcrimepodcast.

The Burke and Hare case was a scandalous episode in 19th-century Edinburgh where William Burke and William Hare, two Irish immigrants, resorted to murder to supply fresh corpses to medical schools. Operating in the early 1820s, they targeted vulnerable individuals, including travelers and the homeless, smothering them to sell their bodies for dissection. The discovery of their crimes shocked society and led to legal reforms regarding the procurement of cadavers for medical research. * * * DISCLAIMER: This episode contains explicit content.

What happens when a medical school needs cadavers to dissect, but they lack a supply of bodies? In the early 19th century in Edinburgh, Scotland, this was the issue plaguing doctors and anatomists who wanted to study the human body. Gravedigging became a popular and lucrative way to close the gap in the market, but it wasn't foolproof on account of having to wait for a person to die to sell their bodies. William Burke and William Hare decided the best way to get rich quick was to speed up the process themselves.

In 1828, medical universities in Edinburgh, Scotland were in dire need of cadavers for students to dissect. As a result, grave robbers were digging up corpses and selling them for huge sums of money. William Hare and William Burke came up with a diabolical scheme. They would murder people staying at Hare's boarding house, and sell the bodies to the universities. By the time they were caught, the two had murdered at least 16 people. Join me as I explore the chilling, true crime case of the Burke and Hare murders.

This week Jennie and Dianne stray from the cemetery to explore the gruesome and shocking details of the Burke and Hare murders that gripped Scotland in 1828. These two notorious murderers are responsible for one of the most infamous killing sprees in history. Learn about how they lured their victims to their deaths, how they sold the bodies to a prominent doctor for dissection, and how they were finally caught and brought to justice. Buckle up for an Ordinary Extraordinary spine-tingling journey through one of history's most chilling murder cases that also had a significant impact on the development of forensic medicine.

In the early days of surgery, learning about anatomy was kind of a big deal. So having relatively fresh corpses to dissect was also a pretty big deal, which naturally led to *some* crime. This week, Hannah tells Katy about William Burke and William Hare, two men who figured out that they could make decent money by selling bodies to a doctor, and regular money by causing the bodies to be dead in the first place and then selling them (aka: they became serial killers and sold their victims' bodies to be dissected). Find out their near perfect murder method (and if you think you could do it!), how much they made (there IS math involved), how they finally got caught, and where you can see at least one of them now. It's not spooky, unsolved, or local, but it sure is weird and creepy. So fix a plate of leftovers, get something to drink, and settle in for our post Thanksgiving episode! Sources:https://archive.org/details/burkehare00burk/page/34/mode/2up?view=theaterhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burke_and_Hare_murdershttps://www.in2013dollars.com/uk/inflation/1827?amount=155.35https://museum.rcsed.ac.uk/the-collection/key-collections/key-object-page/pocketbook-made-from-burkes-skinhttps://www.businessinsider.com/book-bound-in-serial-killers-human-skin-2014-11Support the showFollow us @thetaleswetellpodcast on Facebook and Instagram, or thetaleswetellpodcast.comSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/thetaleswetellpodcast?Click here for merch!

Around 200 years ago, the Judgement of Death Act 1823 saw the number of crimes punishable by death in Britain drop dramatically. Good news in theory, but since medical and anatomical schools were only legally allowed to dissect the bodies, or cadavers, of those who had been condemned to death, this led to an extreme shortage of dead bodies available. Financial compensation offered by medical schools meant that some unscrupulous types soon found a way around this shortage of bodies, leading to a rash of grave-robbing by those known as resurrectionists. This led to why Burke and Hare may have murdered the 16 people in the West Port murders in 1827… Stay safe out there.

In Edinburgh, Scotland, in the first half of the 19th century, great progress was being made in the field of anatomy. Only problem was, medical researchers needed cadavers for their studies, and since the law was very strict about which corpses could legally be dissected, there was something of a shortage of materials for doctors … Continue reading Episode 305 LIVE: Burke and Hare

Season 11 of Blurry Photos kicks off with the Burke and Hare murders! A wild story of 19th century body-snatching, the Burke and Hare murders may have helped advance anatomical science, but definitely regressed ethics. William Burke and William Hare, Irishmen living in Scotland, have become two of the most famous serial killers of the 19th century. When the demands of medical science became too much to keep up with naturally, the two Irishmen stepped in to lend a helping hand. Not grave robbers, or "resurrection men" as they were called at the time,  the duo skipped the whole burial part to provide anatomists with fresh bodies. It's a macabre tale of science and economics gone awry, with a slightly tipsy storytelling element to boot on this episode of Blurry Photos!

In 1820's Edinburgh, anatomists would pay well for bodies, wherever they might come from. Burke and Hare were not bodysnatchers but murderers who suffocated victims and sold them, still warm, to the doctors to learn their trade. Find Suzie on TikTok @suzieedge

In the early 19th century, an illicit trade known as 'gravedigging' plugged the gaps for doctors who wanted to experiment on dead bodies but whose supply had dried up. It was a lucrative trade, and in 1828 two couples in Edinburgh stumbled across an excellent business opportunity - they would cut out the middle man and produce their own corpses, rather than go through the trouble of digging graves. Luring vulnerable people to their lodging house, the two couples set off on a murderous spree. Would they be caught and punished?
