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.

Everyone has wished for something. From a new puppy as a pre-teen to fulfilling the lifelong dream of meeting the right person or hitting the lottery. Some of us pray, some work hard, and some sit back, eat Cheetos, and wish. 

You know who you are.

But some people take matters into their own hands and look to get ahead and win using anything they can. 

Not all are nefarious; the ones we see on TV are as far away from the real thing as anyone could get. Most quietly practice their ancient and sometimes more modern art in the solace of their home, never bragging. 

Much is unknown in popular culture and modern lore about what and how a real WITCH practices this ancient art. So tonight, we are asking those questions and more…

Are ghosts real? Are spirits Real? The only way we can find the unfettered truth is to die. The question remains, can we still communicate with the living once we perish? For centuries human beings have conjured the dead, or have they? Atheists and science say no. Religion and the spiritual say yes.

Will we ever know? Can we ever prove it? 

Daniel Jackson, our guest, author of The New Beginning My awakening as a spirit Medium, is our guest today. His goal is to help people find a better version of themselves. We will discover How he does do this? How does he talk to archangels and the dead? How does one become a medium?

There have always been taboo subjects that no one wants to talk about in public. In the modern age, many of these once-taboo subjects are now out in the open. The free discourse of thought is something that our modern minds have become used to. 

Yet there is one subject that no one wants to talk about. The one thing that is responsible for more deaths every year than automobile accidents, War, and Natural disasters combined. Easily preventable and often the last thing on anyone’s mind. 

The questions I have is this: Why is it not talked about, why are they overwhelmingly male, and why are we not paying closer attention?

Today Andrea and I are joined by Frank King, a former writer on The Tonight Show for 20 years, a Corporate Comedian, syndicated humor columnist, and podcast personality who was featured on CNN's Business Unusual.

Frank is a Suicide Prevention and Postvention Public Speaker and Trainer

Depression and suicide run his family. He's thought about killing himself more times than he can count. He's fought a lifetime battle with depression, and thoughts of ending his life, turning that long dark journey of the soul into a TED Talk, "A Matter of Laugh or Death," www.FrankTEDTalk.com, and sharing his lifesaving insights on Mental and Emotional Health Awareness, with a corporation, association, youth (middle school and high school), and college audiences www.TheSuicidePreventionSpeaker.com.

As an Inspirational and Motivational Public Speaker and Trainer, he uses the life lessons from the above, as well as lessons learned as a rather active consumer of healthcare, both mental and physical, to start the conversation giving people who battle Mental and Emotional Illness permission to give voice to their feelings and experiences surrounding depression and suicide and to create a common pool of knowledge in which those who suffer, and those who care about them, can swim.

If you have thoughts of suicide, you can text "home" to 741741 or visit the website crisistextline.org or call 988 to speak to someone. 

You can even Call Frank King himself anytime you feel you need someone to talk to @ 858.405.5653 or email [email protected]

Paul and Andrea have an interesting topic for everyone this week. So, hold on to your butts. Jeremy Pauley, a self-proclaimed “Collector of Oddities,” thought purchasing human remains through Facebook would be a great idea.  Pennsylvania authorities, needless to say, aren’t too keen on this and arrested Pauley. Upon investigating, Pennsylvania police - with help from the F.B.I. – discovered that multiple buckets of human organs, skin, and bones came from Little Rock, Arkansas. The question we raise is Why? These parts belonged to someone. How can you even mail human remains?

In two thousand fourteen, two young women decided to give a sacrifice of a close friend to the entity known as slender-man. This fictional character appeared on the creepypasta website in 2009 for a photoshop contest. Slender-man is depicted as a faceless man with unnaturally long arms standing between six and fifteen feet tall. Many tales following the posting of the picture to creepypasta have created backstories that turn into evil or are designed to bring hope to those who feel isolated. While most of us recognize these tales of the slender man are nothing more than fiction intended to entice our imaginations. These two pre-teen girls believed that Slender-Man was real.

Anissa and her best friend Morgan lured Payton, otherwise known as Bella by those who know her, to an isolated park in Waukesha, Wisconsin and stabbed her 19 times, leaving her for dead. All to appease the Slender-man.

Morgan was sentenced to forty years in a mental hospital after being diagnosed with schizophrenia and delusions. Her accomplice Anissa was recently released in twenty-twenty one with an ankle monitor and an order to never have contact with Bella or her family until twenty-thirty-nine.

The question that seems most important in my mind is why no one saw signs of these two young women and the obsession with, and what might be considered religious theology, this fictional character - the Slender-Man.
