Back in 1818, the same year *Frankenstein* hit the shelves, a Scottish professor named Andrew Ure decided to see if electricity could actually bring a dead body back to life—so he hooked up a freshly executed murderer to a current and watched in fascination as the corpse twitched, "breathed," and even made terrifying expressions that sent witnesses into a panic.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/AndrewUreREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/58czndx7FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: In 1800s numerous scientists were trying to find the reason for life in the hopes of staving off death or even bringing the recently dead back to life.

On November 20th, a group of six Democratic Senators and Representatives released a video addressing American servicemembers, reminding them that they can and must refuse illegal orders that are given to them. The video comes as the Trump administration continues deploying the National Guard to cities around the country - and a day before a judge ruled that the National Guard deployment in Washington, DC was illegal. In the video, Representatives Chris Deluzio, Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan along with Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin say in part, “the threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.”Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have labeled them the “Seditious Six” and called for them to be hanged. Now, the Pentagon has opened an investigation into Mark Kelly because of the video, creating the possibility that the retired Navy Captain could be recalled and face charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Elissa Slotkin is a former CIA analyst, and the rest have military backgrounds. Kelly is the only one who served long enough to retire, receive a pension and continue to be subject to the UCMJ. The FBI has also announced an investigation into all six.The video and the responses of criminal investigation and even death threats reflect a severe disagreement within the ruling class on how to go forward as basic parts of the social contract are destroyed and trust in social institutions withers.Support the show

From David Block himself: You believe you live in a universe of random chance, governed by the cold, dead laws of physics. That is a lie. You live in a poem—a spell. A perfectly crafted piece of architecture, written in a language your five senses were never meant to understand. But your soul remembers the grammar. The war for your soul is not a war of armies. It is a war of alphabets. The question is: Whose song are you singing? The song of the cage, or the song of the hanged god? Yggdrasil and the Runes are not myths. It is the memory of a kingdom that was stolen from you. The Wardens of this age, the architects of the grey machine, have spent ten thousand years trying to make you forget. They have burned your libraries. They have killed your kings. They have filled your ears with the deafening, soul-crushing noise of their factories and their wars. They have done everything in their power to make you forget the silence in which the true song is heard! It is the song of the Hanged God. It is the song of the Wolf. It is the song of Odin!

This episode is a doozy.  For spooky season we dig into the life and crimes of the infamous duo, William Burke and William Hare.  During a time when resurrectionists ran rampant, Burke and Hare cchanged the game.  Instead of digging up fresh corpses for the medical establishment to practice upon, they killed people (through a method called burking) and sold their bodies as fresh corpses.  We cover the history of medical science at the time and why fresh cadavers were necessary.  We discuss the lifes of Burke and Hare, what led to selling their first body and how they made so many others.  In modern terms, they made close to 20 grand selling bodies of people they killed.  So let's learn something.  Come sit a spell underneath the moonlight and learn the chilling tale of Burke and Hare!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

This 13 part podcast series explores these massive questions and more through the lens of Nazi Germany and the ordinary people who collaborated or resisted as the Third Reich expanded. You'll not only learn about the horrifying, surprising, and powerful ways in which the Nazis seized and maintained power, but also fundamental lessons about what fascism is-how to spot it and why it spreads. Through exploring the past, I hope to unlock lessons that everyone can apply to the present day. Check it out on my Patreon page at: https://www.patreon.com/reflectinghistory.

Note/Correction: Investigator Slater kept referring to A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story as a Netflix series, but it actually aired on BritBox. She's very sorry. Ruth Ellis was a 28-year-old nightclub hostess and mother who, in 1955, became the last woman to be executed in the United Kingdom. Her crime: the premeditated shooting of her abusive lover, David Blakely, outside a London pub in broad daylight. The trial was swift and the verdict was inevitable: Ruth Ellis was to hang for her crime. Despite mounting public sympathy and clear evidence of sustained physical and emotional abuse, the legal system refused to consider her mental state or the context of her actions. Ruth's execution sparked national outrage and helped ignite a decades-long movement toward the abolition of capital punishment in Britain. Her story remains one of the most haunting examples of how justice can fail those trapped by violence, gender, and a system determined to punish and condemn, rather than understand and help. So, while this is the story of Ruth Ellis, it is, at its core, about so much more.
