“I used to catch them and put them in jars.”
Since she was a child, Joanna Ebenstein has been fascinated with things that make most people squirm.
As an adult, she founded the Morbid Anatomy Museum, where visitors can see a pickled opossum and a two-headed duckling, among other unusual and grotesque objects.
At StoryCorps, Joanna sat down with her father, Bob Ebenstein, to talk about the childhood origins of her current career, including a hunt for black widow spiders in their backyard.
