Podcast appearances and mentions of William Hare

No início do século XIX, a cidade de Edimburgo, na Escócia, tornou-se um centro para o estudo da medicina, atraindo estudantes e pesquisadores de toda a Europa. No entanto, o grande interesse pelo ensino anatômico trouxe consigo um problema delicado: a falta de cadáveres, obtidos de forma legal para dissecação. As leis da época permitiam o uso apenas de corpos de criminosos executados, mas a demanda superava o que tinham, levando ao aparecimento de um mercado clandestino de cadáveres. Foi nesse contexto que dois homens, William Burke e William Hare, viram uma oportunidade de lucrar e acabaram se tornando protagonistas de uma das histórias mais macabras da criminologia britânica. No episódio de hoje, os investigadores Andrei Fernandes, Ira Croft, Deborah Cabral e Jey falam sobre os horrores da anatomia na época e dos que decidiram se aproveitar das brechas na lei em relação à obtenção de corpos para estudo científico.Apoia-se Mundo Freak: ⁠⁠https://apoia.se/confidencial⁠⁠⁠⁠Mundo Freak no Youtube⁠⁠

On Halloween of 1828, a woman by the name of Mary Docherty was killed and stuffed under the bed of William Burke. Mary was the last of many people to be ‘burked' - a sick and cruel practice that involved killing people, giving their body to local doctors for medical exploration, and earning rich payment in return.

William Burke and William Hare were killers who murdered victims in the city of Edinburgh and sold the bodies to an anatomist who needed cadavers for lessons. They killed at least sixteen people in one year, but their greed made them reckless, and they were ultimately caught. Join Mike and Gibby as they talk about Burke and Hare. Graverobbing was a big thing many years ago, so much so that some people hired guards to make sure their loved one's bodies were not disturbed. Burke and Hare discovered they could make a lot of money selling bodies to a local doctor. But they took their plan to the extreme, decided to cut out the graverobbing, and began killing people on their own.

Heute tauchen wir in eines der dunkelsten Kapitel der Medizingeschichte ein. Was mit einer makabren Gelegenheit beginnt, wird schnell zu einer Mordserie, die das moralische Empfinden einer ganzen Nation erschüttert. Es ist ein eiskalter Novemberabend im Jahr 1827, als der Militärpensionär Donald unerwartet eines natürlichen Todes stirbt. Sein Vermieter ist darüber wütend, denn Donald schuldet ihm noch vier Pfund an Miete. Schnell ist die Idee geboren, seine Leiche zu Geld zu machen, denn in einer Epoche, in der die medizinische Wissenschaft begierig nach Wissen strebt, ist der Bedarf an menschlichen Körpern für die anatomische Forschung riesig. Zusammen mit seinem Komplizen verkauft er den Leichnam für sieben Pfund und 10 Schilling – ein Geschäft, das den Grundstein für ihre zukünftigen Taten legen soll. Zwei Männer mit demselben Vornahmen, nämlich William Burke und William Hare, finden schnell Geschmack an dem lukrativen anatomischen Alptraum. Die Geschichte der West-Port-Morde beginnt. Heute heißt es wieder „True Crime Xposed“ - ein Format, in dem Cordelia medizinische Kriminalfälle und Mysterien aufdeckt, um deine medizinische Kompetenz zu stärken. Komm mit ins Schottland des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts, genauer gesagt in die pulsierende Stadt Edinburgh und entdecke, wie die grausamen Taten von Burke und Hare nicht nur für Schlagzeilen sorgen, sondern auch einen Wendepunkt in der anatomischen Forschung und medizinischen Ethik markieren. Cordelia entführt dich in die düstere Welt dieser beiden Männer, zeigt auf, warum sie zu Mördern im Namen der Wissenschaft werden, welche Mordtechnik sie perfektionieren und wie ihr skrupelloses Geheimnis schließlich ans Licht kommt. Eine Reise, die nachdenklich macht: Cordelia lädt dich heute ein, über die Bedeutung von Ethik in der Medizin nachzudenken und warum dieses dunkle Kapitel in der Geschichte der Medizin bis heute ein Katalysator für Wandel und Fortschritt ist. Was du für deine Gesundheit daraus mitnehmen kannst, erfährst du ebenfalls. . Diese Episode ist ein Muss für alle, die sich für Geschichte, Gesundheit und die Entwicklung medizinischer Praktiken interessieren.

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.

Send us a Text Message.Burial has always been a sacred thing, undertaken with utmost reverence and respect for the dead. Graveyards and cemeteries, while yes often creepy, are peaceful, quiet places. The wind rustles the leaves of a tree, a dove coos mournfully, a tearful widow silently places flowers on her late husband's grave. We typically think of graves as final resting places for the dead - the end of their stories here on Earth. But did you know, that wasn't always the case? 200 years ago, many newly buried bodies wouldn't rest for long. Did you know that as our collective medical knowledge and respect for science blossomed, so too did our need for human corpses. And that many of these cadavers were stolen from their graves by “body snatchers” who made a profitable business out of selling our dearly departed? Let's fix that.

In 18th- and 19th-century England, doctors employed grave robbers - or "resurrectionists" - to unearth bodies for anatomical research. Unwilling to wait for bodies to present themselves via natural causes, William Burke and William Hare took their own dark and illegal twist on the job. In today's episode, we explore how the grave robbers' role shifted from exhuming bodies after death to obtaining them through premeditated murder.

What started these two former canal labourers on a mass killing spree? Money and medicine. In 1828, Edinburgh is a world-leading centre of medical training and dissection. The anatomists need cadavers on which to demonstrate and practice – but the supply of bodies from hospitals and prisons isn't enough to meet the demand.

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.

In the conclusion of the horrific crimes of William Burke and William Hare, we see them get somehow even more brutal. As time went on and they kept profiting off their violent tendencies, they began to get reckless and put their entire scheme and freedom at risk. In the end, only partial justice was served. Get ready, it's wild in here.Thank you Dave White for research assistance.

Throughout the first three decades of the nineteenth century, doctors and medical schools across Europe struggled to find adequate supplies of bodies that could be used for the purposes of teaching in a medical theater. The outsized demand for fresh cadavers led to the rise of “resurrection men", AKA Graverobbers. Disgusting duo William Burke and William Hare found what they believed to be a wildly easy way to provide doctors with a steady stream of recently deceased bodies. In the end, they brutally killed at least sixteen people. The crimes left an chilling mark on Edinburgh specifically, and all of Scotland in the end. Thank you to Dave White for research assistance.

Hello and welcome back! In today's episode, we discuss the case of Burke & Hare. Falling on desperate times, two friends, William Burke and William Hare, embark on a dark descent of lies, greed, and murder. In 1828 in Edinburgh, Scotland, Burke & Hare would complete the murders of 17 people, selling their bodies to medical schools for a profit during a time that bodies were needed to further the study of human anatomy. As their body count grew, along with their lust for achieving a higher lifestyle, their evil plot would soon unravel, revealing just how far some people are willing to go for the sake of money. Hang on, friends. This one's a doozy.SOURCES:https://pastebin.com/MZKqsLLhSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/this-ones-a-doozy/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

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!

William Burke and William Hare were "resurrectionists" who made their living by selling corpses to a medical school. How did they find so many bodies?

This is the second of two episodes recorded live in front of an audience at Open Eye Theatre, featuring special guest, Shanan Custer! Our audience joined us listening to "If a Body Need a Body Just Call Burke and Hare" from Crime Classics! In the poorest parts of mid-19th century Edinburgh, William Burke and William Hare find a path to quick money by providing medical schools with fresh cadavers. Based on true events, this story details the exploits of two characters who have a special place in the secret origin of the Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society! How do two unassuming men become such notorious villains? Is free shoe cobbling worth the risk? Would this story be more terrifying if they were floating next to a large ship? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

The biggest ever exhibition exploring the crimes of William Burke and William Hare will be explored in a new exhibition in Edinburgh. 'Anatomy: A Matter of Death and Life' curator Tayce Phillipson, joined Sean to discuss the exhibition and Edinburgh's background as a global centre for the study of medical research.

Jenna Stoeber (Polygon) joins Brian & Eric to talk about a darkly funny true tale of science, greed, AND MURDER! In 1800's Scotland, William Burke and William Hare killed sixteen people and sold their bodies to the local university for dissection. The boys maybe project onto the characters a little too hard.

It's an unexpected series, guys! After Rui took a one-week break. an old-timey topic is the main focus of the next episodes. It's a case revolving around the "resurrection men" William Burke and William Hare, and all of the murders they had committed to be able to earn money from selling corpses.

Contrary to popular belief, the famous body-snatching duo of William Burke and William Hare were not actually body snatchers. They never robbed graves at all -- they had their own way of supplying anatomists with fresh corpses, and it didn't involve the graveyard. They simply killed people. And a new word was coined from the pair's murderous practices: ‘burking'. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time to take a trip to Scotland in the early 1800s, where grave robbing was big business!

In the early 19th century, Edinburgh was the leading European center for anatomy. Dissections were so popular, that the city began running out of cadavers. By Scottish law, the only bodies that could be used were those who died in jail, suicide victims, and orphans. People began stealing bodies from graves, which wasn't illegal. Anatomists would pay handsomely for bodies. As measures to stop grave robbing heightened, two men took matters into their own hands. William Burke and William Hare began a killing spree in exchange for money from anatomist Robert Knox. In November 1828, both men and their wives were caught after suspicion had arose. Hare was granted immunity as long as he testified against Burke. Hare's wife was also granted the same. Hare admitted to killing sixteen people along with Burke and went into great detail of the methods. Burke was found guilty and sentenced to death. His wife was found no proven, which meant she was guilty but there wasn't enough evidence to convict. Burke was hanged in February 1829. His body was dissected and his skeleton was preserved. To this day, it is on display at the Anatomical Museum of the Edinburgh Medical School. 

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 1836 a discovery of 17 miniature coffins in Holyrood Royal Park in Scotland sparked a heated debate. Who created them, and what did the represent? Theories abound, but today we go back in time to explore one of the most widely accepted theories out there - that they represent the victims of the famed serial killers William Burke and William Hare. Youtube Video discussed about the coffins can be found here We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.

William Burke and William Hare have gone down in history as Scotland's most notorious bodysnatchers, however the true tale is far more gruesome. These Victorian villains were not graverobbers, oh no, these 19th Century fiends were in fact, serial killing in the name of science!
