Hello, and welcome to the show. We all grew up with nursery rhymes—sweet, simple tales meant to lull us to sleep. But what if those rhymes weren't so innocent? What if they were warnings? Tonight, we’re peeling back the veneer of a familiar rhyme, one that tells the tale of a man who found a crooked sixpence and lived in a crooked house. A man so twisted, so bent, he could only see the world through a cracked and distorted lens. They say he walked a crooked mile. But what was he walking toward? And what really happened to the crooked cat and the crooked mouse? We're about to find out, and I promise you, this isn't the fairy tale you remember. This is the truth about the Crooked Man.
