Johann Konrad Dippel 1673-1734 <a href="http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/02dippel.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/02dippel-tm.jpg?w=234&h=300" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Dippel was born at Castle Frankenstein and is rumored to be the  inspiration for Shelley’s vile doctor. This is disputable, but what  isn’t is the fact that this brilliant doctor performed vivisections on  many recipients.  Working with nitroglycerin he destroyed a tower, but  also detected the medicinal use of it. It is rumored that he also  preformed gruesome experiments within this tower with so called  “cadavers”. Though the actual details of the experiments have never been  truly confirmed it is rumored that he attempted to transfer the soul of  one cadaver into another. Interestingly, his greatest contribution to  the world was his animal oil (Dippel’s oil: a nitrogenous by-product of  the destructive distillation manufacture of bone char) commonly known as  a base product in Prussian blue – the low cost blue dye that is used to  this day by artists; previously, blue dies were extremely expensive to  create.</blockquote>
