Questions About This Episode

What is S2 Ep17: The Sealed Room about?

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.
