Optograms & Wife Sales
Added 2025-07-01 07:23:28 +0000 UTCOptography is the process of viewing or retrieving an optogram, an image on the retina of the eye. A belief that the eye "recorded" the last image seen before death was widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and was a frequent plot device in fiction of the time, to the extent that police photographed the victims' eyes in several real-life murder investigations, in case the theory was true. The concept has been repeatedly debunked as a forensic method.
Wife selling is the practice of exactly the terrifying thing that it sounds like. We also talked about that. We did NOT include an image for the episode header.

Now I want to write a murder mystery that takes place on moving day and they try to solve it with optograms. The victim? A wife who was sold, of course.
