The Shoemaker of Breslau is one of the fullest early modern accounts of a town proceeding against a walking dead man. After his concealed suicide in 1591, residents of Breslau, now Wrocław, complained for months of a suffocating night visitor, and the magistrates twice had the body dug up. Only complete destruction, with the head and limbs removed and the heart burned, was held to have ended it. The case reached English readers through the philosopher Henry More, who used it as evidence for the reality of spirits.1

Kata sumber

The town council investigated the rumours and the widow confessed to the cover-up1

His apparition pressed on sleepers and left bruises and finger marks1

Exhumed on 18 April 1592 after about eight months, the body was intact, with supple joints and the throat wound still open1

The haunting went on after he was moved to unhallowed ground1

At the second exhumation the corpse was swollen; the heart was found fresh1
