56. The S. K. Pierce House

Chairs. You love them, we love them, our butts can't get enough of them. But what happens when a chair castle becomes a haunted mansion? This is the sort of question we know you rely on ITAG to answer. And answer it, we will.

This is the story of the S. K. Pierce House. Come for the ghosts, stay for Papa Shaq, traveling with vegans, American butts, sitting wars, the neighbor of the Beast, and “I don’t think it’s in Uranus.”
