About this episode

This episode explores the historical significance and practices surrounding the Corpse Walkers and their role in returning bodies to their homeland for burial.

The Corpse Walkers are a fascinating piece of history. Respect for the dead and ritual practice turned into an entire industry of work. The idea that a person’s body needed to be returned to their homeland and buried in order for the soul to rest peacefully seems a little crazy to a culture, us, that doesn’t practice it. The body was prepared in multiple ways in order to be ready to travel. We certainly go on plenty of tangents during this episode…as usual. #BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #CorpseWalkers #SpookyJuly #RespectTheDead
