You know that buzzing feeling you get in the back of your skull when you have a bad feeling about something? Well, it's there for a reason. Sometimes you shouldn't go digging around in things that don't belong to you. You might find something you were never supposed to find. Even if those are the innocuous belongings of your dearly departed dad...

This week we have a twofer! First we have a letter to our listeners from a very exclusive orphanage called Procter's Children's Home. Don't bother Googling it, you'll never find it. Unless, of course, you're in the market for a very special type of child. Trigger warning: Child Abuse Our second is a very scary poem called Dead Man's Hate  (1930) by Robert Ervin Howard. We learn that disrespecting the dead can have dire consequences. It sent chills down my spine, and I hope it does the same to you.
