A man who spent his whole life collecting buried treasure, himself becomes buried in treasure, only in the twilight zone.

I’ve known one compulsive hoarder and have been in their house. Interesting to say the least. There’s another who lives a block away from me, the local paper has actually done an article on her.

Maybe he should have asked Colonel Hogan about the art of digging tunnels.

Human mole Gordon Stewart, 74,... On the brighter side, 74 by far surpasses the life expectancy of the average clean mole.

Ever read Stephen King’s “Insomnia”?I have!
I read it when I was trying to bring on slumber.
It didn't work for me though.

Nope. Can’t say that I have. Saw the movie though, did Meathead have that part of the psycho ex-nurse’s character written out?
It’s the “animal hoarders” who really make the six o’clock news. EeYuck!

There is an old woman down the road who’s whole house is stacked with news paper and magazines that she thinks are special for on reason or another.
The entire place is piled high in neat stacks with a path down the middle.

I’ve known one compulsive hoarder and have been in their house. Interesting to say the least. Very!
I worked with a man who carried two wallets, each stuffed with hundred dollar bills. I went to his house once, a nice house but every room was packed wall to ceiling with all sorts of things. Motor oil by the cases, paper towells, cartons of tooth paste, toilet papaer etc. Just unbelivable.
He was a widower and I have wondered if perhaps he had his wife stuffed and packed away somewhere.
