The Dark Enlightenment: Burke and Hare

They didn't just DIE in Edinburgh… They were SOLD. In the early 1800s,

Edinburgh was a city of enlightenment, but beneath the streets… MURDER for profit.

Two names haunt this city: William Burke and William Hare. They smothered people

silently… “BURKING.” Bodies were dragged through the night and sold to

medical schools so surgeons could learn anatomy. Most victims? The poor

and forgotten. Burke was hanged, and his skin… was turned into book covers.
