@emory-f8.bsky.socialThe mysterious vampire who had terrorized Paris was an ordinary-looking young soldier.
His crimes involved exhuming and mutilating corpses, particularly those of women, and sexually abusing the remains.
@emory-f8.bsky.socialEventually, authorities installed a concealed explosive trap inside Montparnasse Cemetery.
The intruder triggered the explosive and was severely injured.
Army sergeant named François Bertrand appeared at the hospital with wounds he couldn't satisfactorily explain.
@emory-f8.bsky.socialAccording to contemporary accounts, guards discovered eleven bodies exhumed and dismembered on one particularly dreadful occasion, with human remains scattered across the cemetery grounds and even among the branches of trees.
@emory-f8.bsky.socialThe perpetrator repeatedly escaped detection, even as authorities increased security around the burial grounds.
Newspapers began calling them the Vampire of Montparnasse.
@emory-f8.bsky.socialDid you know?
In the Victorian era, rumors spread through Paris that a vampire was entering cemeteries at night, digging up the dead, and devouring their remains?
Graves were being opened during the night and recently buried bodies removed and mutilated.

@drmartinkolby.bsky.socialImagine having your diary read out loud in a public court of law in 1857.

@emory-f8.bsky.socialIronically, he arranged to sell his own body.
His body was dissected, and his skeleton became part of a college anatomical collection.
A museum reported that his skeleton was displayed wearing his old hat, with his smoking pipe positioned between his teeth.
@emory-f8.bsky.socialAccording to one account, he sometimes dressed a dead body in a coat, vest, and hat before positioning it beside him in his buggy.
Whenever the body began to slump forward, he slapped it across the face and loudly scolded it for being drunk.
@emory-f8.bsky.socialUnlike the imaginary monsters used to frighten children, he was a real man who made his living stealing corpses from cemeteries and selling them to medical schools.
He became particularly notorious for his willingness to enter cemeteries at night and remove bodies.
@emory-f8.bsky.socialDid you know?
In the Victorian era, a notorious grave robber in Ohio, became so feared that parents used him as a bogeyman to frighten their children?
His name was William Cunningham, but he was better known as “Old Man Dead,” and “Old Cunny."
