About this listen
In this Weird Wednesday episode, we break down the disturbing and bizarrely surreal case of Jonathan Gerlock, a 34-year-old man from Pennsylvania arrested in January 2026 for one of the most shocking grave robbing cases in recent memory.Investigators say Gerlock was stealing human remains from Mount Moriah Cemetery, with some of the bodies dating back to the 1800s. Authorities uncovered nearly 100 skeletons stored between his home and a storage unit, along with evidence that at least one corpse had been left decomposing inside his basement.According to police, Gerlock allegedly sold stolen human bones through Instagram and Facebook, turning historic graves into a black-market operation. What makes the case even stranger is the contrast a heavily tattooed, metal-loving guy committing old-school grave robbery… and allegedly hauling skeletons around in a RAV4.The sheer scale, age of the remains, and audacity of the crimes earned him the nickname the Pennsylvania Ghoul. In this episode, we walk through the timeline of the investigation, how the cemetery thefts were uncovered, and why this case feels like a collision between modern social media, dark subcultures, and crimes people assume only happen in history books.
