Humans collect all sorts of interesting things. Some love to decorate their houses and homes with dairy cows, green frogs, and Marvel characters. All these things are considered normal and benign, for the most part. 

 Some of us, however, enjoy collecting more obscure items. Items that may be considered taboo to many. Or even morose and possibly diabolical and malignant. 

 True crime authors and amateur sleuths consider these items ubiquitous with sinister meaning and serial killers, yet that is only the few and not the majority of the reasons behind the drive to gather and display these more macabre and eclectic items. 

 Do they represent the obsession with death, or could they be more about celebrating life? 

 In this episode of Things I want to Know we delve deep into the world of the eccentric and the strange as we ask the questions everyone wants to know.
