This Halloween, jump into the eerie tale of Elmer McCurdy—a true crime deep dive into urban legends and America's carnival underbelly. In 1976, a seemingly innocuous Halloween haunt took a terrifying turn when a “mannequin” on a Long Beach dark ride wasn't a prop—it was a real human corpse. In 1976, a TV crew at The Pike's Laff in the Dark discovered human bone after a stunt arm snapped. Forensics exposed arsenic embalming, a copper bullet jacket, and a 1924 penny with old carnival tickets—breadcrumbs that led to Elmer McCurdy, a bungling Oklahoma train robber killed in 1911. For more than six decades, his body was bought, sold, and exhibited in sideshows and roadside museums, then misfiled as a prop and hung on a ride—until investigators finally confirmed the truth and laid him to rest under concrete in Guthrie (1977).This is a true-crime deep dive into America's carnival underbelly, the commodification of death, and how an outlaw became the Funhouse Mummy.Inside this episode:The 1976 discovery at The Pike: the moment the “dummy” bled clues—arsenic, bullet jacket, 1924 penny, tickets.McCurdy's final heist (1911): the botched robbery, the posse's shot, and an undertaker who wouldn't release the body.The carnival con: how promoters “claimed” the corpse and rebranded it coast-to-coast for decades.Forensic ID & burial (1977): the paper trail that ended with concrete sealing a grave in Guthrie, Oklahoma.Ethics & aftermath: why outlaw mummies vanished—and what the case says about spectacle vs. dignity.If you're searching funhouse mummy, Elmer McCurdy, Long Beach funhouse corpse, The Pike Laff in the Dark, outlaw mummy Oklahoma, arsenic embalming, sideshow history, or a true crime podcast about real “haunted” carnivals, this episode is your map. Follow and share for spooky-season specials all October.We're telling that story tonight.

The practice of embalming human bodies has been around for ages. Bodies are most commonly embalmed for a short term period so loved ones can say their final goodbyes during the funeral practices. That, some bodies are embalmed for much longer periods of time for cultural traditions or a peculiar way of honoring an idol-like figure. However, in the early 1900s, outlaw Edward McCurdy was embalmed and all though his soul was no longer present, his body would travel all over the USA for decades, Listen now to hear this very odd treatment of a human corpse.

In this episode of Strengths Applied, we welcome guest coaches Damian Zikakis and Louann McCurdy back to the show to dive into "workplace onboarding." We begin by sharing our personal experiences and how our own talents shaped those moments. We also dive into the lessons learned when onboarding is done with intention and is human-centered...and when it's done in ways that leaves people feeling lost or undervalued. We all agree that using a tool like the CliftonStrengths assessment to identify a person's talents can transform the way new employees are welcomed into their roles. This episode offers practical ideas for using CliftonStrengths to make onboarding better for everyone, whether you're a leader, coach, or a new hire. As Gallup-Certified Strengths Coaches, we're passionate about helping people feel seen, supported, and set up for success from day one. We explore how to support those new employees who are struggling to be seen (like remote and hybrid employees), and how new managers can use their strengths to create meaningful onboarding experience for themselves and their teams, even when the company doesn't have a formal process.

Elmer J. McCurdy (January 1, 1880 – October 7, 1911) was an American outlaw who was killed in a shoot-out with police after robbing a train in Oklahoma in October 1911. Dubbed "The Bandit Who Wouldn't Give Up", his mummified body was first put on display at an Oklahoma funeral home and then became a fixture on the traveling carnival and sideshow circuit during the 1920s through the 1960s. After changing ownership several times, McCurdy's remains eventually wound up at The Pike amusement zone in Long Beach, California, where they were discovered by crew members for the television series The Six Million Dollar Man and positively identified in December 1976.
