{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"DLO-230: A Finger Down the spine","description":"In tonight's dead letter, listener John is nineteen, home from his freshman year and a few shifts into a summer dishwashing job at a grand old house on Michigan's Old Mission Peninsula that has been a restaurant since the 1950s. The staff there blame anything strange in the building on a ghost they call Genevieve, and John doesn't believe in any of that. One warm night he goes upstairs to change out of his kitchen clothes, and the bulb pops the second he flips the switch. Strange enough on its own, but what happens next is why this particular night stuck with him.\n\nNote: The room referenced at Waverly in the Episode is 503. It should have been 502.\n\nRelevant Prior Episodes\n\nGreyfriar's Kirkyard Halloween Special\n (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2pXSYyYCXuDFtE17vx8JK1)\nThe Sallie House – Ghost in the Machine Part 1\n (https://open.spotify.com/episode/20PwwC2p9Kq97H7yX370kO)\nLockdown at Waverly Sanatorium\n (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2Vg6JyYCPnretRMtlTGM1f)\nThe True Story behind the Conjuring Part 1\n (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0rKA53XcmycZNBrrLO6xjg)\nA Live Reading with Jim Hunt - Psychic Medium\n (https://open.spotify.com/episode/590WWlUtnWAsXWguFGOtFc)\nLinks and Further Reading\n\nThe Mission Table Restaurant of Bowers Harbor: A Splendid Building, But Not a Residence for a Ghost — Julie Schopieray, Grand Traverse Journal\n (https://gtjournal.tadl.org/2014/the-mission-table-restaurant-of-bowers-harbor-a-splendid-building-but-not-a-residence-for-a-ghost/)\nWould the Real Mrs. Stickney Please Stand Up?
