Program Description

Event Details

From grand corpse larceny in medieval Venice to the iron coffins popping up in Lincoln Park, this light-hearted presentation takes you around the world with spine-tingling true tales you never learned in history class. 

In this presentation, Lorrisa covers, among other topics: the bizarre burials of the Habsburg royal family, the terror of resurrectionists digging up your bones, American cemetery history and lore, the morbid truth of the Smithsonian collections, and Chicago’s largest cemetery that never really got moved.
