The Collyer Brothers: Buried Alive in Their Own Home
14m | Oct 20, 2026Two brothers sealed themselves inside a house packed with a hundred and forty tonnes of junk, tunnelled through it, and rigged it with deadly traps. Then one trap killed its builder, and the other brother starved in the dark beside him. This is their true history.
On Six Feet of History, host August Mercer tells the real story of the Collyer brothers: a tale of compulsive hoarding, isolation, and fear, and how a home can slowly become a cage, then a trap, then a tomb. The story that made "Collyer brothers" a permanent warning.
