It's Germany. Early 1800s. Blink. Now it's New York. Later 1800s. No overlap. Go to sleep. Wake up. The worlds have collided. There are bricks. There are ghosts. What is happening? No one knows. Was that a hitman? Spooky.

This is the story of the Kreischer Mansion. Come for the ghosts, stay for: cat spikes; a big ol' glass of Four Roses; anything is possible at patrick-dot-com; the snow witch; what if the Beatles were just a different shade of blue?; a Wile E. Coyote trap in every room; feed the poor bricks; love a good pig man; and the McKelvey supercut.
