A chance encounter brings back memories of a dark past filled with medical study, grave robbing, and bodies obtained under increasingly disturbing circumstances.

In “The Body-Snatcher” by Robert Louis Stevenson, ambition and moral compromise slowly give way to something far more sinister. As old secrets return to the surface, two men are forced to confront the terrible reality of what they once accepted without question.

Tonight on Midnight Murmurs, experience a grim classic of nineteenth-century horror filled with guilt, death, and the uneasy feeling that some bodies may not rest as quietly as expected.

Written by Robert Louis Stevenson. Presented by Midnight Murmurs — Season 3.
