Photographing the Dead - Weird World Weekly #75

There was a trend in the late 18th and early 19th century of photographing the dead.  Why on Earth did they do this?  Were they hoping the body's spirit would live in the picture, or was it because of something else?  On this episode of Weird World Weekly, Dave will investigate this weird phenomenon further.

Meanwhile, Matt has a story from Peru of a video capturing some kind of strange creature appearing out of nowhere.  What was it and why did the people at the scene seem unfazed?
