TIL about Elmer McCurdy: a train and bank robbing outlaw whose corpse, after his death, became a carnival funhouse attraction.

n 1976, a horrifying discovery was made at the Nu-Pike Amusement Park in Long Beach, California.

A camera crew for the television show The Six Million Dollar Man was visiting the park to film a scene in the funhouse. While preparing the set for filming, one of the crew members went to move what he thought was a mannequin hanging from a noose.
