Episode 51 - Human Skin Shoes

Big Nose George Parrott was a train robber, outlaw, and all-around menace in the American Wild West. But after his capture and lynching in 1881, his story took a gruesome turn: a local doctor used George’s skin to make a pair of shoes and a medical bag. The shoes were worn in public—and still exist today. It’s a real tale of crime, frontier justice, and one of the most macabre post-mortem punishments in history.
