the jurgen experience dude you ever hear about what ben franklin was okay that's a different story but what did he do you never heard that like what he was found in it they found in his house no like tons of bodies bro what ben franklin they found tons of bodies in his ben franklin was a serial killer no he was like doing some weird [ __ ] dude bodies like experimenting yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah is this real everything i say was ben franklin's basement filled with skeletons repairs on franklin's old london house turned up 1200 pieces of bone from at least 15 people holy [ __ ] for nearly two decades by the way this is from the smithsonian this is not some wacky conspiracy this ain't samtripoli.com for nearly two decades leading up to the signing of the declaration of independence benjamin flank franklin lived in london in a house on 36 craven street in 1776 franken left his english home to come back to america more than 200 years later 15 bodies were found in the basement buried in a secret windowless room beneath the garden in 1998 conservationists were doing repairs on 36 craven looking to turn franklin's old haunt into a museum from a one meter wide one meter deep pit over 1200 pieces of bone were retrieved remnants of more than a dozen bodies said benjamin franklin's house six were children forensic investigation showed that the bones dated to franklin's day holy [ __ ] the most plausible explanation is not mass murder but an anatomy school run by benjamin's young friend and protege william hewson oh just an anatomy yeah and we're just gonna bury them downstairs okay anatomy was still in its infancy but the day's social and ethical mores frowned upon it a steady supply of human bodies was hard to come by legally so houston hunter and fields other pioneers had to turn to grave robbing either paying professional resurrection men to procure cadavers or digging them up themselves to get their hands on specimens researchers think 36 craven was an irresistible spot for houston to
establish his own anatomy lab the tenant was a trusted friend and the landlady was his mother-in-law and he was flanked by convenient sources for corpses bodies could be smuggled from graveyards and delivered to the wharf at one end of the street or snatched from the gallows at the other end when he was done with them houston simply buried whatever was left of the bodies in the basement rather than sneak them out for disposal elsewhere and risk getting caught and prosecuted for dissection and grave robbing franken was probably aware of the illegal studies going on in his building says the benjamin franklin house but it's doubtful that he was involved himself still we can't imagine that curious man that he was he didn't sneak down and check out the proceedings at least once or twice of course he did could you imagine if you're my friend and we live together and i say sam what are you up to you're like bro we got to find out how people work and there's only one way to do it we got to look at bodies whoa how do you do that we got to find a place where we can [ __ ] legally or secretly look at bodies well i'm going to basement okay so what do we do with the bodies but back then when they were studying medicine isn't that what they did like all those people that like studied anatomy back then how did they if it was illegal to study anatomy if it was illegal to study bodies how how else would they find out how anatomy worked that seems weird but who knows they had weird laws back then but it does seem weird but it makes sense right because if they had never studied anatomy before and then all of a sudden it came along and like we gotta [ __ ] up your grandpa you gotta carve grandpa up like a turkey to find out what makes people tick you know so weird note to add in another article about this oh boy franklin's history as a mason was one of the historian's initial points of inquiry though shrouded in secrecy masonic rituals have dark known undercurrents which have at times gone
horribly wrong for example in a 2004 initiation ceremony a new member was accidentally shot by a member who meant to fire an empty gun but instead fired a loaded one so yeah they fake shot at each other yeah but when historic and historians dug deeper into what was going on in the franklin home during the years the bones dated back to they discovered the real culprit behind the bones was one of william houston yeah they're basically saying the same thing crazy right
