Summary

Imagine yourself in a graveyard, shrouded in fog, under the chill of a midnight moon. You hear footsteps crunching over fallen leaves—too close to ignore, too distant to be sure of their source. Shadows shift, and whispers float on the breeze, whispers of bodies that might not rest in peace. Tonight, we’re peeling back the layers of soil and superstition, exposing a dark chapter of American history where grave robbers, body snatchers, and resurrectionists turned graveyards into marketplaces and science into something sinister.
