About

In this episode of the NVus Alien Podcast, Heather Woodward is joined by Michael Williams, Director of the Oklahoma Territorial Museum and the Historic Carnegie Library. Together, they drag the spotlight onto one of the strangest, most chaotic afterlives ever recorded. Elmer McCurdy wasn’t a successful outlaw, but he became a postmortem celebrity. His mummified body spent sixty-five years touring carnivals, wax museums, sideshows, and even a funhouse where workers thought he was a prop until someone realized the truth.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nvus-alien--4798594/support.
