First, discover the peculiar story of a 19th-century criminal whose daring escape plan involved shedding every last piece of his clothing. What could possibly motivate a man to flee naked into the cold November night? Then, delve into a truly chilling mystery that sent an entire city into a riot. When a grieving grandfather demands to see his young grandson one last time, the opening of the coffin reveals a horrifying and unnatural substitution that taps into the era's deepest fears of body snatchers. All newspaper articles referenced in this episode were sourced on Newspapers.com, with additional research conducted by Brad and Michala using Ancestry® and other resources.
