The Graveyard Shift
Historian Dr David Hume investigates a time where dead bodies were in much in demand for medical research, leading to an upsurge in grave robbery.
There was a time when the dead in our cemeteries did not rest in peace and the demand for bodies for medical research resulted in grave robbers starting a new grisly industry - the resurrection of the dead.
Historian Dr David Hume investigates this dreadful upsurge in the exhuming of the dead by the ruthless resurrection men. There was robbery, violence and murder on The Graveyard Shift.
