EPISODE 84 — The Cotton-Tale of the Enchanted Muff
This week, we thrust ourselves into one of the most hare-raising medical scandals in British history — the curious case of Mary Toft, a woman who convinced doctors she was giving birth to… rabbits. And not metaphorically. Literally. From the actual womb zone.
Was it a miracle? Madness? Or just an elaborate game of hide the hare?
DeeJ, Mitch, and Amanda dig deep into this 18th-century tale of misdirection, misdiagnosis, and misunderstood anatomy. We’re talkin’ surgeons with blind faith, midwives with questionable ethics, and one enchanted muff with more plot twists than a Victorian soap opera.
It’s history’s most anatomically confusing magic trick — and no, pulling a rabbit out of a hat doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Things get weird. Things get wooly. And you’ll never look at bunny ears the same way again
