Chattanooga Resurrection Men
About this episode
The episode explores the dark history of Chattanooga, focusing on the Resurrection Men and other macabre tales.
In the South, the humidity isn't the only thing that lingers; sometimes, the dead don't stay buried. We’re digging into Chattanooga’s past, from the "Resurrection Men" who turned local cemeteries into a business to the seven-foot giant who survived a train strike only to vanish from his own grave. This is Southern Gothic stripped of the fluff—a direct, atmospheric look at the real-life tragedies, medical mysteries, and macabre greed that haunt the region’s history.
