I’m married to one of Elmers descendants who is his absolute spitting image. Always creeps me out when I come across Elmer’s story. He never told me about him but one day I caught something on tv. I texted my then boyfriend “um, William, do you know anything about an Elmer McCurdy?” He laughed and said “You found Elmer, huh???” I wish I could post the side-by-side pic on here. LOL
Welp, if ghosts do exist then he's either been laughing his bones out this whole time, or been yelling at everyone to just let him sleep, and no one can hear him.
I think he must have been flattered for trying to be bought for what he thought was a huge fortune for him
Geez, I mean he wasn't a good guy but no one deserves to have their corpse bought, sold, displayed, and toured without their consent
Far from the worst ever done to someone before or after life.
Remind me again, about the Bible's thinking on "Worship of the graven image"... I can't think of much more worshipful than swearing up and down how consecrated and serious a corpse (literally graven) has to be treated... It's so much rotting meat...
...and no... I don't much care WHAT the hell anyone does with or to my corpse when I'm gone. I'll (by nature of the terms) BE GONE... ;o)
That guy was more successful as a mummy than back when he was alive. He even made it into a filming set!!
Heard this story in the past, and it won't stop amusing me.
This corpse has done more in death than I've done in my entire life!
I remember learning this as a teenager from the show Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. I did research of it later and it was always interesting. Considering how well Arsenic can preserve a body and even make it look juicy still is interesting to see. And he isn't the only cowboy body to be preserved and put on display.
He is the only one I remember with such a storied history. Most are still on display in the west. And his re-discovery I think makes him interesting. And turns out he was more of a success in death than he ever was in life. Odd how that seems to happen with failed bandits.
It is a very amusing story. He just managed to enter from the grave into Hollywood.
It may be a probability that Elmer’s family didn’t claim his body because after he became an outlaw, they probably disowned him.
The litigious nature of the American Population has not been a "recent development"... His family likely "disowned" him because they wanted distance and deniability between themselves and his criminal antics... and all the consequences.
A Sheriff or Marshall may not be legitimately able to arrest you for your relative's crimes... BUT that won't stop the bank suing you for the costs of repairs to safes... or the families of the slain for hitting you up on wrongful deaths because YOUR bastard-child caused the damage...
...and there's a fair faction who LIKE seeing the family held to account for raising and unleashing their demon-spawn on the rest of us. ;o)
This was something I did not know and super interesting I loved it. The soothing voice makes it feel less creepy helps out a lot
"Wait a minute, that's curious, this mannequin has human flesh and bone inside of it... Wait a minute... Oh oh. Oh oh. O H O H! "
Was looking for this comment
I remember seeing this through Wild West Tech on the History Channel years back - back when they actually HAD history-related shows. Very creepy and ironic that this bungler burglar became more famous dead than alive...
Hah, I just yesterday saw Ask A Mortician's video on this! Quite the story!
A wonderful instance of an urban legend turned real! Lovely work, frank!💙
I know it's practically impossible these days, but for the record, if something like this happens to my remains, I would find it hysterically funny.
This man had a very action oriented life - and death also it seems.
Thanks for sharing this story with us!
There are many stories that we've heard dozens of times (and although I'd still watch your retelling of them), it's nice to hear ones that are way less common once in a while.
MY GOD GIRL, I RECENTLY FOUND UR CHANNEL AND WOW, I LOVE YOUR THEORIES ABOUT DISNEY AND EVERYTHING
AND YOUR VOICEEE DAMNN, ITS SO CALMM AND NICEE!
TOTALLY GETS ME IN THE MOOD FOR WATCHING YOUR CONTENT
GREAT GOING!
She has a second channel too!😁
@@lucamara6424 Ooohhh Noice
Can you imagine if he rose from the dead after being buried, busting through the cement to hunt down the bloodlines of the people who used him
That would be a great horror movie
A part of me wishes to be on display after I die. It would make for an interesting story.
It started raining just as you posted this! It's going to be a relaxing night
Now I want Guillermo Del Toro to make a mini-series about this!
Thank you for this great video!
Gullimore 😂😂
@@mooneko_0073 Oops! Fixed it now 😆
I first learned about this story from an episode of Ghost Adventures. I think Elmer needs to Rest In Peace, but I also wouldn’t mind spending a night at that inn in Guthrie!
"Uh oh, UH OH, U H O H"
I have heard of this, but only part of it (the bit with the pay getting shoved in the guy's mouth). Thank you for giving the full story, that was great!
elmer may rest in peace
I must say this was very interesting and informative.
ah a fellow sam o nella connoisseur
got 0:13 in and had to scroll down to see if anyone else also saw the O'Nella vid about it lol
That was a fun story! Well.... "fun" may not be the right word, but it was interesting and entertaining to learn about. Definitely probably wouldn't be entertaining to experience personally though - not just for Elmer but for anyone who handled the corpse without knowing about it! Especially the people who put him in movies! What the heck could 'She-Freak' be about.... I kinda wanna hunt it down and give it a watch now, tbh. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for Elmer ;)
Goodness! What a morbid history of a man who was shot and his body was used as a sideshow prop. Man! That's awful. I mean the crimes he did were awful but this? People are so morbid even if they tried to be sweet and kind, history is pretty nasty with such things like this.
The hotel bit reminds me of the two crypt cafeterias in london, eating over gravestones
Oooo I love this story an I'm glad your covering it 😃
Someone should turn this story into a macabre road trip comedy movie.
There is now a musical about it! I think it came out this year!
Sounds like a Ripley. Believe it or not, situation. Wow
This was a really cool video.
Matt Shultz wasn't kidding- there ain't no rest for the wicked
What a peculiar topic. I like it🖤
Elmer was also the inspiration for Skeletor from the He-man and the masters of the universe. You can hear this story on Netflix's the toys that made us documentary series where the creator saw Elmer's body at the Pike amusement park in the funhouse.
I have a request, can you do the origin of The Muffin Man?
@7:41 That is disgusting and I would never go there LOL you want to serve me food or drinks on a table where you kept a corpse? Yuck! And that place is creepy!
tbh.. it's quite a long funny ride.. despite the disrespect his remains gotten into..
To be fair, under certain conditions, corpses can turn to wax.
Love when I’m third. Only late because I was watching your fabulous mad hatter poisoning theory video!
Just got done watching this this was interesting
This is so creepy.
Great Art
Idk why I read the title and started wondering how one could be mummified alive 😅
this is what nowhere nomad is based on, yes
In my belief, death is the end of experience. A corpse is a thing. It doesn't care.
But I am still appalled at the bad taste, if only for the sake of those living who think differently from me and would like peace of mind about what may happen to them in the after.
interesting story
Damn that embalming job must have been amazing
0:41
am i the only one who think that he kinda looks like Putin?🤨
No, I saw the same too.
The front shot does look quite similar.
He has the same basic facial expression than Putin had.
However the quality of this picture is pretty bad, so I think the real guy is more different looking.
Yeah, I now saw the photo of him in the coffin in this video.
He looks different there.
Poor thing worked to the bone
Scream and drop it immediately.
Even in death I still serve.
The thumbnail reminded me of the Nomad from Nowhere 🤠👤❤️🩹
Nice
Please do original story of Peter Pan🥺
I love yoooooou :3
Salmonella Academy.
UH OH UH OH Uh oH
I'M SO EARLY....
Is it me, or does this guys pic look like a Putin? Talk about scary!
Let the guy rest! Lol
