## Resource

You’ve heard “love is blind”… but apparently, love is also nose blind . This week on Twisted & Mysterious , Faren introduces us to “Creepy Carl”—also known as Carl Tanzler—a man whose obsession with a young woman didn’t end with her death… and, disturbingly, didn’t even slow down. In Carl’s mind, her funeral wasn’t a goodbye—it was their wedding. From elaborate delusions to full-on conversations with someone who couldn’t respond, this is one of those cases where you keep thinking, “Okay, this has to be where it stops”… and it absolutely does not.
