Long before Mary Shelley wrote her famous story of Victor Frankenstein and his monster, a real-life mad scientist called Johann Konrad Dipple dabbled in similar grave-robbing and reanimation. This History Channel special uncovers Dipple's eager experiments with fresh corpses, as well as his attempts to concoct life-giving potions.
