Miami Man Will Trade Charles Manson Letter for a Shrunken Head
http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/cultist/2011/04/have_a_shrunken_head_miami_man.php

Sometimes we like to surf the Internet to see what freaky things are out there. And sometimes we find gold. Take for example our latest expedition to Craigslist in which we stumbled upon a listing offering up a "SUPER RARE" signed letter from convicted serial killer Charles Manson. The same listing claimed to have an original document signed by big chin Benito Mussolini, an autograph by Marilyn Monroe, and even an unopened 1973 bottle of Bolinger Champagne used in a James Bond movie, presumably Live and Let Die.

It's all part of a private collection of Will (who asked for us to keep his last name unpublished. Can you blame him?), who's looking to sell or trade items he's collected over the years. We had to know more so we gave Will a call. Read on to find out what he had to say:

Will, 66, is a spinal technician/holistic engineer who collects rare items but enjoys trading oddities as well. He denied that he was just looking to offload his items to the highest bidder, instead saying he was willing to trade the items, let's say for a shrunken head, and even pay the difference in value. (By the way, what are shrunken heads going for these days?)



Sometimes I love the characters in my state. I'd like the Manson letter, but, damn it, I'm out of shrunken heads.

1. So, a chiropractor's assistant wants to swap a fake letter for a shrunken head.
How underwhelmingly surprising.

3. spinal technician\holistic engineer = con man.
Any fool who thinks this stuff is authentic deserves to be fleeced.
