The true story of an abandoned house, discovered by a young boy in the 1970s, and the mysterious family who disappeared without a trace.
- Ira introduces this week's story. (1 minute)
- Act One: Adam Beckman tells the first part of his story, about how, back in the 70s, he and his friends broke into an abandoned house in the small town of Freedom, New Hampshire. The home turned out to be a perfect time capsule, containing the furniture, letters and personal effects of an entire family — abandoned for decades. It seemed like the family just vanished one day, leaving salt and pepper shakers on the table, notes on the bedroom mirror, and a wallet with money still inside. Adam and his friends read the letters, saving some as clues, and never forgot. (30 minutes.)
- Act Two: Adam Beckman continues his story. He returns to the town in New Hampshire where he discovered the abandoned house as a kid and tries to find out what happened there. It turns out he's not the only one looking for an answer to that question. (25 minutes)

If you think that foreign nationals gave Hunter Biden millions and millions of dollars (whose only discernable skill seems to be drugs and debauchery) without access to his father being part of the deal, then I seriously don't know what to tell you.
is it great for learning inglish?
I wonder what breakfast was like at the White House this morning one day after a federal judge called hunter Biden white trash? I bet they just chopped up another line, chugged a beer and continued lining their pockets while the rest of the country crumbles.

Violent sexual assailant Ronald McDonald Chump has a trial date set. 😋 Delicious. I love watching the obedient, fact-blind, MAGA (Make America Gay Again) flee in terror from acknowledging the FACT that Trump confessed to showing a publicist (!!!) Top Secret documents, after stealing them and leaving them carelessly in a public shower. Maybe there's an incompetence case to made in this TREASON case? Well I'll be there with popcorn so we will see. ☺ Enjoy trying desperately to deflect. America is aware darling. We voted him out for a reason. 🤴 While I do awesome summer stuff... ...stay here and scream in the dark. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

BREAKING: White House reportedly in turmoil after a federal judge basically called the Biden's white trash.
Sweetie, you have nothing. Your party is in the toilet so you have to hyper focus on minority groups to feel better. You have no recourse...no logic...just a creepy obsession with gay, queer and trans people. You hate them but can't....stop...bringing them up. Try pornhub? Get out some of those weird terrified yet fascinated urges? I mean....I've got some real life on this end so...can't explain the entire world to you sweetie. Good luck 😋 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Check out the loser scrolling like an LOSER with no life! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... "Living in someone's head" and "TDS" are ways that obedient slaves declare that no one is permitted to discuss or criticize their master. Break free, this is a country of free speech, not obedient silence.
Remember when Trump asked to "Terminate the constitution." in order to stay in power? Absolutely loved the feverish desperation in his tweets while he was LOSING. "STOP THE COUNT!" He shrieked in triggered rage. 🤣🤣🤣 So delicious. Obedient republicans still have not acknowledged that he wanted to rip up the constitution to stay in power - according to Trumps own words. On record. Forever. Sad. They HAVE to look away and deflect, otherwise they'd have to eject their entire personalities. It's summer. I'll take a break and watch the Trump trials while I enjoy this beautiful sun. I'll even permit the illiterate scrambling cuck trolls to post triggered rage. Always fun to allow them to work hard on writing and then casually bury it. 🤴 You're welcome. 😋... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Sound of Freedom dominates at the box office. Marxists rage while real Americans get it.
Yah, it's good we all unanimously agreed to dump Drumpf last election, thank Jesus that we had a referendum on Trump and all agreed that he was utter gutter trash. Thanks Jesus! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Check out the loser scrolling like an LOSER with no life! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
No one obsesses more about the details of male on male gay sex and what's under the clothes of trans people than backward superstitious luddite republicans. Pretty sus...closeted even. 😬 😋 Cuckchublickens need a safe space. Maga (Make America Gay Again) is a symptom of mental illness, likely brought about by a continous low level of gay panic. Shrieks of terrified denial in three...two...🤴 While you cry I'm busy tanning. 😎 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
