A Day In The Life Of A Body Snatcher

After Dark: Myths, Misdeeds & the Paranormal

Available for over a year

Join Anthony and Maddy as they spend a day - or should that be night? - in the life of a 19th century body snatcher. Find out which months they favoured for body snatching, why they never stole the dead body's possessions, and why they would never steal a body under a full moon - all referenced from a real-life grave robber's diary. Edited by Tom Delargy. Produced by Stuart Beckwith. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long. All music from Epidemic Sounds. After Dark: Myths, Misdeeds & the Paranormal is a History Hit podcast.
