Burke and Hare: Body Snatchers, Serial Killers, Ulstermen

Everyone knows William Burke and William Hare. The world's most notorious grave robbers – who never robbed a grave. Sinister serial killers, decades before Jack the Ripper. Iconic characters in Scotland's great story – yet Irish born and bred. Belfast horror and true crime tour guide Andrew Johnston of Alternative Ulstours reclaims the two Willies for the north of Ireland in this informative and entertaining retelling of the bloody bonkers tale of history's most misunderstood murderers. Come back to late 1820s Edinburgh, when no body was safe from Burke and Hare!
