In this delightfully disturbing episode of The Box of Oddities, we unearth two baffling tales that defy logic, science, and perhaps even basic hygiene.
First, journey to the plague-ravaged town of Frankenstein (yes, it’s real), circa 1606. As bodies piled up and panic spread faster than a medieval TikTok trend, townspeople pointed their infected fingers at an unlikely culprit: the gravediggers. Accused of spreading the Black Death through dark rituals, corpse mutilation, and a suspicious over-enthusiasm for their work, several were executed—possibly to death. Were they scapegoats... or graveyard alchemists gone rogue?
Then, leap ahead to 1997 and the eerie vanishing of Lori Bova. After a quiet dinner with her husband, she stepped outside and was never seen again. No signs of struggle. No trail to follow. Just a whisper on the wind and an open timeline full of conspiracy.
Dark history meets vanishing acts in this episode of head-scratching proportions.
