28 Things People Keep At Home But Avoid Talking About Because They Are So Controversial, As Shared Online When my sister was in high school she wrote letters to Charles Manson. He wrote her back. My dad intercepted the letters in the mail. He never opened them, but still has them. My sister never knew he wrote back.

**Edit to answer some questions**

I can’t believe I woke up this morning to this explosion…

My sister is 7 years older. Mental health was left generally undiagnosed and untreated in the 80s. She was a rough kid to parent, and even as a sibling there’s a lot of trauma stemming from her I’ve had to work through. I haven’t spoken to her since I was in my 20s. She’s estranged from my dad, my other sister, and I. She has worked her way back into my mom’s life as she’s gotten older, more than likely to benefit from her death.

I do remember her being obsessed with Manson when I was a kid. She was a f*****g menace, constantly getting into some sort of trouble, running away, police calls, etc. As soon as she turned 18 she was kicked out. She turned 50 last month, and according to my mom “she finally has her life together, she bought her first house”.

My dad told me about the letters approximately a year ago. This happened 30 years ago, I’m pretty sure there wouldn’t be any federal charges brought against him (haha), and he has no reason to make this up or lie about it. I told him I want them left to me in his will.

To the people messaging me to buy the letters…big fat f*****g NO. If and when I get them in my possession, I’ll evaluate what I want to do with them at this time. I agree they’re worth more sealed than opened.

Elemental mercury isn't the safest thing to play with and can easily wreck your nervous system over the long term. However, it's cousins the methylated mercuries are the literal stuff of nightmares. Methyl and Dimethylmercury are extremely toxic and both easily pass through most common types of protective equipment in seconds. They absorb through the skin or are inhaled (they readily vaporize given their high vapor pressure) and can cause irreparable mercury poisoning and death with single exposures to less than a 1/10th of an mL. Dimethylmercury also likes to catch on fire and when it breaks down into methylmercury, it likes to accumulate in the environment (this is what is happening to fish and things that eat fish). These chemicals are so dangerous that deaths have been caused from just a few drops landing on gloves that were then immediately removed. Also, the death is typically slow (~6 months) and excruciatingly sad.

I have a heart in a jar. It's from either a pig or a sheep (a pig, I think) but I've convinced a few people that it's human lmao. (dw, it was ethically sourced, I know of places that do taxidermies and things like this. xP) I also have several animal skulls, mostly birds, etc that I have put in jars with dried flowers so they're pretty x3

I was tempted by the wet specimens but ended up going with a plasticised taxidermy one. Everyone needs a conversation piece, and apparently that was what mine was meant to be 😐 I always tell people it's human was well!

I found an old metal condom box from gad I forget what year, it was a few years ago when I found it. 2016? well it was in behind plaster walls with the wood running lengthways across the wall the way the did back then. and yup they were sheepskin. and nope I can't prove it as the box was empty. idk why he hid it in the wall behind slats and plaster. oh ya. there was also an empty headache remedy too. guess he had a good night!

My grandfather worked in parks and rec and collected anything he found. There's a hanging portrait of Elijah Muhammad in his belongings, controversial Nation of Islam leader. My grandfather was a devout Catholic so it's not like he held those views. Also lots of vintage photographs of strangers along with a whites only club membership. Once again not his as he was a brown skinned Latino man.

Let's see.... my grandfathers collection of cameras that date all the way back to the early 1900s. He was technically born in 1926 but always had an interest in photography, his first camera was from 1914. He also kept them all. However, despite everything from my grandparents, including an ivory mask, my pride and joy is an original lava lamp, one of the first in production. Still works!

I have a red silk cap for a child with a tag on it I can’t read, but some Russian girls told me was part of a uniform for “Communist Boy Scouts.” I also have a purse made of an (American) badger pelt, which I was told was roadkill but what the f do I know, I just really love badgers so I have it because I’ve never seen a real one.

The metal brand from original immigrant relatives who started a ranch in Montana. Apparently the idea of pressing red hot metal into the side of a cows behind to prove that it is yours causes snowflakes to melt these days.

I have some mercury as well. We have some outdated mercury pressure switches that we are phasing out and I collect all the little vials, cut them open and dump them into a jar.
