You thought YOUR family was bad (getting silly)

A Russian man has been arrested after allegedly digging up the bodies of two dozen women, dressing them up as dolls and keeping them in his apartment.

Anatoly Moskvina's parents allegedly found at least 26 bodies in his three-room apartment in the Russian city of Nizhny_Novgorod when they returned from holidaying at their summer house, KTLA reports.

The 45-year-old historian is accused of digging up the bodies from a cemetery at night using a shovel and carrying them home in plastic bags.

Once in his apartment, Moskvina allegedly dressed the bodies, all women aged 15 to 26.

Huh.

As a "family unit" it is a little...unusual!

[lighthorseman]

I was thinking more of the parents coming home from their holiday house... to their new "inlaws"?

I... I don't have a better word.

Ew. Not only is this insanely disrespectful to the dead...
That must stink to high heaven, and be a breeding ground for all sorts of diseases.

He should get together with this chick.

I interpet this as a 45-year-old man living with his parents. If that's true, then he's even more pathetic.

Not sure if this is worthy of a YTYWB style thread but it is pretty creepy

Ironbite-especially with him digging up girls as young as 15.

Digging up 26 coffins and dragging the contents home must be hard work.

And not getting busted.

Yes. E for effort.

Am I the only one worrying about the various degrees of decay here? Even embalmed the bodies tend to degrade quite quickly, so while we can probably safely assume that some were pretty fresh, I wonder in what state most of them would be in.

Although, seriously digging up 26 coffins without being found out at all, that's pretty impressive, creepy, but impressive none the less.

Nooooo... it was the first thing that occured to me... probably to his parents, too.

My uncle lived with my grandparents until last year. He's 51.
