I happen to have some experience with this, as I used to teach anatomy at university. Many of the corpses that we used, contained metal knees, and other improvements, you can, for instance, clearly see where open heart surgery was used to improve the heart. Now, all these corpses have been soaked in alcohol and formaldehyde to conserve them, so they are obviously dead. A few times however, the olde pumpe may start beating again, if it has artificial components. We tutors laughed our toupees off, as students would get the shock of their lives, when the corpses would sit up, or even chase them across the room!
Sorry, but I really doubt that this can happen. I also worked in anatomy, I’ve seen and felt what the formaldehyde does to tissue. There’s no way that preserved muscle tissue can react to the stimulation of a pacemaker.
I can’t remember that he use pickled body parts in the novel. Because that’s basically what happens to bodies used for anatomy training. The way they are prepared they can be stored at room temperature for weeks, just covered with a damp sheet.

That would completely traumatize me but I also want to see it myself

It could be I imagined or dreamed the last three sentences. 🧌
Sounds like you might need to get out more, this is all 100% facts. How do you think the historical Dr Frankenstein did it? One man one olde pumpe

Sorry, no, the historical Dr Frankenstein. This is all non-fiction and 100% real, and we should take it extremely seriously.
Personally idk I like my corpses removed, no corpses. Gonna try not to panic when I wake up under a damp sheet in the morning, thanks
You mean Konrad Dippel? As far as I know it’s very much disputed whether Mary Shelly took any inspiration from the folk stories around him.
