From Outlaw to Oddity: The Postmortem Adventures of Elmer McCurdy

This week on Low Expectations, we dig up the unbelievable true story of Elmer McCurdy — the outlaw who became a traveling sideshow corpse. After a failed train robbery, Elmer was gunned down... but death was just the beginning. His embalmed body would go on a bizarre cross-country journey for years, ending up in funhouses, wax museums, and even a California amusement park before someone realized he wasn't a prop — he was a mummy.

Join us as we unravel the strange tale of a man who gained more fame after death than he ever had alive. It's a story of crime, carnivals, mistaken identity, and a corpse that just wouldn't quit.

If you're into true crime, bizarre history, creepy curiosities, or forgotten outlaws, this episode is for you.
