The Case So Disturbing It Changed Laws

In the early 1800s in London, something strange was happening every night for decades. People would attend a funeral for a loved one, they would watch the coffin be buried and say their goodbyes. Then they would return the following day, maybe to visit or to place flowers, only to discover the dirt disturbed and the body simply gone. Surprisingly, this wasn’t a rare phenomenon. Entire graveyards were actually being emptied out. Day in, day out, bodies would go missing in the night. But maybe strangest of all was that everyone knew this was happening, and yet it happened anyway. And eventually, this practice would escalate into something much more sinister. So, in this video, we’re going to go over what this strange phenomenon was, why it was happening, and the truly disturbing things it would eventually lead to.
