The Closet Excavationist #8 – Monkey Business (8/1/19)

56:43 – Do the dead listen to The Overnightscape?  Why else would Frank Edward Nora be mentioned in a reading by Dave and Lisa’s psychic medium?  Was Dave in Kentucky’s apron-string theory confirmed or denied? Did Dave’s grandpa object in principle to rural electrification, farm planning, crop allotments and the like, or was he simply an inveterate procrastinator? Find out the answer to some of these questions (perhaps) on this episode of The Closet Excavationist.
