Podcast appearances and mentions of Mary Toft

In the summer of 1726, In the little Village of Godalming, a 25 year old servant woman claimed to give birth to rabbits. Surgeons, nobles, and even the King believed her at first, but the truth, or a version of it that the public can embrace, always has a way of coming out. For years, history thought they had solved the mystery of "The Rabbit Breeder", but beneath the hoax lies a darker tale of pain, power, and control.This is the true story of monstrous birth — and the woman behind it. This is the story of Mary Toft.   Click To Learn More Mary Toft, Monster and Mason By Karen Harvey University of Glasgow Library — The Curious Case of Mary Toft A digital exhibition exploring the archival material and cultural impact of the Toft hoax.

En 1726, l'Angleterre connaît l'un des scandales médicaux les plus étranges de son histoire. À Godalming, un petit village du Surrey, une domestique illettrée nommée Mary Toft prétend donner naissance à des lapins. Oui, des lapins.Tout commence lorsque Mary, enceinte, affirme avoir fait une fausse couche après avoir été effrayée par un lapin dans les champs. Peu de temps après, elle se met à "accoucher" d'étranges restes d'animaux : morceaux de lapins, entrailles de chat, fragments d'os. Son beau-frère, intrigué, alerte un chirurgien local, John Howard, qui constate lui-même la présence de fragments animaux qu'il pense expulsés par voie vaginale.Fasciné, Howard envoie des lettres à des médecins de renom à Londres, dont Nathaniel St. André, chirurgien du roi George Ier. Ce dernier, enthousiasmé par cette affaire qu'il pense être une découverte médicale majeure, vient examiner Mary Toft. Et là, il assiste de ses propres yeux à un "accouchement" de lapins. Stupéfait, il en parle à la cour : le roi lui-même veut en savoir plus.Mary est transférée à Londres, au centre de l'attention médiatique et médicale. Elle est examinée, disséquée symboliquement, interrogée. On envisage même que ses "enfants lapins" soient la preuve d'un phénomène biologique rare : la "théorie de l'impression maternelle", selon laquelle une émotion forte pouvait influencer la forme du fœtus.Mais bientôt, les doutes s'accumulent. Les lapins "nés" de Mary sont en réalité de jeunes spécimens parfaitement formés, certains digèrent même du foin. Finalement, Mary avoue : c'est une supercherie. Avec l'aide de complices, elle insérait des morceaux d'animaux dans son vagin, simulant des accouchements. Pourquoi ? Pour attirer l'attention, pour l'argent, ou peut-être sous la pression de ceux qui l'ont exploitée.L'affaire fait scandale. Mary est emprisonnée, puis relâchée sans condamnation formelle. Quant aux médecins impliqués, leur réputation est ruinée. St. André, en particulier, devient la risée du public.Mais au-delà du sensationnalisme, cette affaire révèle les failles de la médecine du XVIIIe siècle, où les patientes pauvres n'étaient pas écoutées, mais disséquées symboliquement par des hommes en quête de gloire. Mary Toft, à sa manière, a retourné ce pouvoir en jouant avec les attentes et les croyances de son temps.L'affaire des lapins de Mary Toft n'est pas seulement une imposture grotesque : c'est un miroir des inégalités sociales, du statut des femmes et de la crédulité des élites face à ce qu'elles veulent désespérément croire.

The hoaxes that you are probably most familiar with today are tied to legends. They are a means to justify an end. Think of the famous grainy photo of the Loch Ness Monster which was falsified to prove the monster's existence. Similarly, think of the sketchy video of Big Foot which was also tampered with to prove that Sasquatch was real. But what of the hoaxes that stand alone? The hoaxes that confuse or mislead even the most intelligent minds. These are where the juicy stories can be found. Today, on Found Objects, I share a story or two (or several lol) about hoaxes that will make you stop in your tracks and consider the validity of even the most seemingly legitimate tales.

The tale of Mary Toft is a curious one, not because of the event portrayed over the years. Mary Toft was an illiterate, impoverished woman involved in one of the biggest hoaxes in the 18th Century hoodwinking the general public, doctors, surgeons and even King George himself. It's an extraordinary story, one that paints Mary as the villain, but the truth is so much darker, join Katie as she discusses the curious case of Mary Toft.

Das ganze Land spricht über Mary. Bis der Betrug herauskommt und das ganze Land über die "klugen Köpfe" spottet - einer der größten Skandale in der Geschichte der Wissenschaft!

We've had a pretty heavy summer on TCC, haven't we? Nazis and Norwegian black metal murders, and those last two cases were gnarly. So we thought maybe this week, you'd appreciate something a little lighter—something just for fun. So we decided to talk about hoaxes. Sometimes hoaxes are hilarious, like the time Sir Arthur Conan Doyle pranked five of his friends by sending them all an anonymous letter saying “We are discovered. Flee at once,” and then watched in amazement as one of ‘em up and left town the next day. Sometimes they're kind of a public service, reminding us that we can't believe everything we see on TV or the internet. Sometimes they're sick burns—humiliating revenge against a stuck-up snob who deserved it. But whatever the motive, and whether anybody ends up in jail or not, pranking the crap out of our fellow humans is almost always entertaining. Join us for a grab bag of hoaxes through history--from Mary Toft and her miraculous "rabbit births" to the infamous "War of the Worlds" broadcast that terrified America, to a Canadian woman who faked a pregnancy and abducted a real baby, and more.

What happens when an Eavesdropper gives you a brilliant gift that happens to be the Chambers Dictionary of the Unexplained? You give it a flick and do an episode on the lucky-dip page you land on! (Thank you, Jane Beacon!) So this week on Eavesdroppin', we delve into the supernatural... Starting with Tina Resch - who is she? Did she have telekinesis? Was she possessed by a poltergeist? And how did it all go wrong for Tina? Plus Resurrection Mary... Is this hitchhiking Chicago ghost real or fantasy? Was she an actual person? And why is she party ready? And we wrap up with the curious case of Mary Toft... Did she really give birth to rabbits? Why was a pig's bladder found up her hoo-ha? Or was it all a hoax? You'll have to listen to find out! All this plus chit chat from hosts Geordie & Michelle on Eavesdroppin' podcast.

Grab your tin foil hats and your barf bags, you're in for a rough one!  Hi weirdos welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual. Each week we get together to chat about something WEIRD and sometimes GROSS and this week it's GROSS! Ashley starts us off with a REAL OR HOAX segment featuring the sad, strange and especially sick story of Mary Toft- a servant who lived in the 1700s who tried to make it out of her impoverished life with a fraud so vile it's hard to even type it up. Let's just say it involves innocent bunnies being shoved up a vagina. There's no way to beat around that bush. Lauren swoops in to save the day with a CONSPIRACY THEORY that Queen Elizabeth I wasn't quite herself. In fact, she was so much so not herself that she was a man. Sure, part of the reasoning behind this conspiracy theory is misogynistic AF - but it's interesting nonetheless. Debbie Downer brings us down again with a new segment called JEEPERS CREEPERS (I hate this so much) in which we discuss an incurable genetic disease called Fatal Familial Insomnia that kills you in less than a year by ENSURING you never enter REM again. And REM is my favorite part of sleep! And finally, Lauren fails to cheer us up by taking us on a trip for a WHERE IN THE WORLD IS KEEP IT WEIRD GOING segment-- and Back to Tokyo we go! But this time there is no delicious Ramen. There is only hell. Meet us at the hottest date spot in Japan- the Meguro Parasitological Museum! Or you can call it by it's shorter name-- THE PARASITE MUSEUM. Home of the world's longest tapeworm! Check out the links below if you want to read more about today's WEIRD stories.

If anyone remembers Mary Toft at all, it's as the woman who hoaxed some of the most powerful men of 18th century England into believing she could give birth to rabbits. This is not a cute story about a genius prankster, however. This is a sinister tale of familial abuse, brutal medical malpractice and a powerless, poverty-stricken young mother. Mary Toft might be a funny piece of trivia in hoax history, but she is much more than that in every way.

Amanda and Sarah revisit an episode from back when they were still figuring out this whole podcasting thing and didn't have a decent mixer. It still slaps. Originally posted as Episode 43 on March 14, 2019.  Just a warning: This episode contains references to sexual violence, bodily trauma, and some disturbing, gory details about pregnancy. Listener discretion advised.  Amanda and Sarah give birth to instances of pregnancy horror for this episode. Sarah goes way back to the 1700s for the harrowing story of Mary Toft, an English woman who became a sensation when she started giving birth to rabbits. Amanda heads back to present day for the case of Sanju Bhagat and the medical oddity known as fetus in fetu. Other subjects covered include a Bootleg Bart bully and a fun cyst story. Recommendations: Sarah recommends X-Files episode "Humbug" and the music video about the beloved late polar bear, Knut. Sarah and Amanda DO NOT RECOMMEND the Selkie-inspired book Sealskin by Su Bristow.

“From Guildford comes a strange, but well attested piece of News. That a poor Woman who lives at Godalmin, near that Town, who has an Husband and two Children now living with her was about a Month past, deliver'd by John Howard an eminent surgeon and man-midwife living at Guildford of a creature resembling a rabbit.” - 'British Gazeteer', 10th October 1726 Meet Mary Toft, who convinced the Enlightenment medical establishment that she had given birth to rabbits. By doing so, she played to established beliefs in the power of the maternal imagination and monstrous birth - and performed a radical act of protest. WARNING: This episode contains graphic descriptions that may be distressing to those who emotionally project onto rabbits as a species. As well as those invested in the correct pronunciation of 'Goldaming'. BILBLIOGRAPHY: Bondesen, J. (1997). A Cabinet of Medical Curiosities. I.B. Tauris. Lynch, J.T. (2008).

Rabbits?  Yes, rabbits!  Plural!  As in “Mary Toft gave birth to more than one rabbit.”  Believable?  Not these days.  But in 1726, it was plausible to many, and Mary Toft, 24, of the village of Godalming, England, was convincing to many in her claim that she had just given birth to rabbits.      Oh, and just as astonishing, those births took place after she had already given birth to Mary, Anne, and James, all human children fathered by Joshua Toft, a clothier by trade and a non-rabbit by birth.      Here, from Volume 3 of Stories from History's Dust Bin, comes the “rabbit tale,” if we may use that phrase, of a woman who insisted she had given birth to a “fluffle” of bunnies – a claim that made its way – all the way to the court of King George II of England before the matter could be put to rest.      Stories from History's Dust Bin is a 3-volume set of historical short stories. These are the nuggets of gold that had fallen by the wayside… the little known and unusual. Many of these gems were destined to be forever lost until they were collected, dusted off and brought back to life by author Wayne Winterton.   Each podcast episode features one of the over 450 stories featured in Winterton's Award-Winning* series, narrated by either the author, his son, William Winterton, or his daughter, Jana.   If you enjoy today's episode, please leave us 5 stars and a glowing review on iTunes! And if you don't want to wait a whole week to hear another story from the Dust Bin, consider picking up the books on Amazon (either downloadable or good ol' fashioned ink and paper).   The Entire History's Dust Bin Collection Is Available On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3bDrip4

In September 1726, a Surrey woman called Mary Toft claimed to be giving birth to rabbits. The case became a sensation which gripped Georgian England - but the real story may have been much darker. Witness hears eye-witness accounts from the time, and historian Karen Harvey puts the story into context.IMAGE: "Cunicularii or the wise men of Godliman in consultation", etching by William Hogarth illustrating the Mary Toft story, 1726.
