Apparently there was a Jeffrey Dahmer TV show (unclear why) that they filmed at his house. Lights flickered. Stuff broke. I don't believe in ghosts but I also don't see any reason to antagonize them.
do you believe in ghosts or are you like me, a person who finds themself saying all the time “I absolutely don’t believe in ghosts, but this place has ghosts.”

A lot of people have said this already but I have gone from "Epstein probably just killed himself" to "Donald Trump personally performed Sub-Zero's Spine Ripper Fatality on Epstein right there in his cell."
Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce and Epstein sent this email three months before he died.
Epstein mocked Trump for “leaving his nose print on the glass” while watching young women, wrote that Trump knew about illicit activity tied to Mar-a-Lago, and visited “many times,” and noted Trump’s planned visit to his neighbor Howard Lutnick’s house.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.
