{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"The Sealed Room","description":"In tonight's dead letter, we're across the harbor from Boston, in the densely layered city of Chelsea, Massachusetts. Our listener grew up in a building that began its life as a 19th-century clinic, served as a surgery, and ended its years as a hospice before becoming a multi-generational family home. But the house already had a few residents. Different presences on every floor, each with their own habits and rules. What's harder to explain is the room someone worked very hard to make sure no one would ever find.\n\nREFERENCE LINKS\n\nGreat Chelsea Fire of 1908 — Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chelsea_fire_of_1908)\n\nChelsea Conflagration 1973: The Biggest Fire You've Never Heard Of — Fire Rescue 1 (https://www.firerescue1.com/firefighting-history/chelsea-conflagration-the-biggest-fire-youve-never-heard-of)\n\nChelsea on Fire: 1908 — (https://www.wgbh.org/news/local/2014-04-11/chelsea-on-fire-1908) Chelsea conflagration: The biggest fire you’ve never heard of (https://www.firerescue1.com/firefighting-history/chelsea-conflagration-the-biggest-fire-youve-never-heard-of) GBH/WGBH Boston\n (https://www.wgbh.org/news/local/2014-04-11/chelsea-on-fire-1908)\nDomovoy: Slavic Household Spirit — Wikipedia\n (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domovoy)\nDomovoy: The Guardian Spirit of the Home and the Family — Slavic Lore (https://slaviclore.com/domovoy-guardian-of-the-home)\n\nDomovoy — Britannica\n (https://www.britannica.com/topic/domovoy)\nModern Spolia: Harvesting Building Materials from Demolition Sites — ArchDaily\n (https://www.archdaily.com/1032354/modern-spolia-harvesting-building-materials-from-demolition-sites)\nElectronic Voice Phenomenon — Wikipedia\n (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voice_phenomenon)\nGhosts in the Machine: The Truth About EVP — Homespun Haints\n (https://homespunhaints.com/ghosts-in-the-machine-the-truth-about-evp)\nSensing What Others Cannot: Anomalous Experiences and Autism — Psychology Today\n (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/if-i-be-waspish/202510/sensing-what-others-cannot-anomalous-experiences-and-autism)\nAdults with Autism Spectrum Conditions Experience Increased Levels of Anomalous Perception — PLOS ONE / PMC\n (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5436824/)\nIs There a Connection Between Autism and the Paranormal? — Association of Paranormal Study\n (https://associationofparanormalstudy.com/2023/04/02/is-there-a-connection-between-autism-and-the-paranormal/)\nWe're looking for more stories!
