Ichabod's House

In a perfect world, your body is your own. But once in awhile, you've got to share it with a dead person. When that happens, the classy thing to do is fall asleep and wake up when it's over. If you can't do that . . . lie back and think of England. 

On today's episode, we learn that a desire to believe can sometimes overrule good sense. Poor Doyle believed all he was told about the fairies of Cottingley. But he wasn't alone. Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths fooled lots of people.  So what does it take to fool a literary genius? Tune in and find out.

Mike Ryan steps in it big time this week. Sex with goats, prying of human flesh. He's a total loser. This is a horrible thing to cover and a horrible thing to remember. Take a listen when you get a chance.
