Have you ever heard of a resurrectionist? No, this is not what you’re thinking it is. This is just a fancy term for body snatchers. In the 17 and 1800s, anatomy was a big deal. People were studying and dissecting bodies left and right. So much so that there was a shortage of them to study. The only way they were getting bodies legally was executions, and that option ran very low. That opened the door for a horrific black market and the newest criminal career. Enter resurrectionists. Being paid very well by med schools and doctors, they would dig up graves and steal bodies, looking the other way as to how they could have possibly acquired them. When word got around, people started putting heavy cages around graves or hiring armed guards. All of a sudden, the real fear of a family member being grave robbed was part of everyday life. until one day it just wasn’t.
