"A legit necropolis."
Amelia kicks off Fall--and spooky season--with the story of the wild life, tragic death, and VERY strange after-death of Argentina's famed first lady Eva Perón. Evita's corpse was "missing" for nearly two decades, and Amelia unpacks the bizarre myths, outlandish rumors, and macabre urban legends that surround its extraordinary journey to its final resting place.
CONTENT WARNING: This story discusses terminal illness, abusive medical practices, and disturbing allegations of violations committed upon Perón's remains. Listener discretion advised.
Eva Perón died of cervical cancer at the age of 33. The Weirdest Thing Podcast wants to remind our listeners of all genders that September is Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month (GCAM). Please get your HPV vaccine! For more information, visit the following sites:
