Strangeful Things

Shooey brings us part one of a two part episode concerning the murderous bastards Leopold and Loeb.  Join him, Mells and Acadia as the cover the early life of the men, as well as the planning and execution of the crime.

Not gonna lie, folks. This week's episode is pretty gross. Join Mells, Shooey and Acadia as the explore the strange life of a Frenchman named Tarrare who would eat anything. And we mean anything!

This week, Acadia, Mells and Shooey tackle the tragedy of the TWA 800 crash. Was it an accident, or is one of the MANY conspiracy theories actually correct? From terrorists to the government and back again, we dig into all of it and learn a little bit about big business along the way.  Join us for the crash of TWA flight 800.

Emma Fillipoff was a young woman finding herself in the beautiful town of Victoria, British Columbia when she disappeared. The team digs into the story and the mystery.  And, as promised, here is the shout out to Bailey Sarian who got Mells interested in the topic! https://youtu.be/mCNecSWZbs0

Join Acadia, Mells and Shooey as they talk about a case from back in 1965 that was on Unsolved Mysteries back in 1990.  For a super old case it sure is creepy. Give it a listen if you dare!!!!

In the premiere of season four, Acadia, Mells, and Shooey talk about how absolutely metal the Aztec culture was. From Flower Wars to piles of heads, the Aztecs are fascinating and terrifying!

Acadia, Mells, and Shooey wrap up their coverage of the Jennings 8 murders, also known as the Jeff Davis 8 in this episode.  The story will make you sad and angry, which is how you should feel once you get all the facts. These women need justice.

This week we start covering the maddening story of the Jennings 8.  Eight women were murdered in a short space of time in a town of 10,000 people, and they were all connected in one way or another. There is also a substantial Acadia rant at the beginning so consider yourself forewarned.

Shooey, Mells and Acadia dive into the story behind the wacky Winchester House in San Jose, California.  The story of Sarah Winchester is pretty interesting and Mells has actually been to the house so this is as close to on the spot reporting as we are ever going to get!

Acadia and Mells tell you the fascinating story of what happens when a bunch of people in a basement in London decide to try to fool Hitler into thinking the Allies were going to attack one place instead of another!

Who really invented the movie camera? Join Mells, Acadia, and Shooey as they deep dive into the mystery surrounding Louis LePrince. Have question? Comments? Email us at strangefulthings@gmail.com. Or support us at https://Patreon.com/Strangefulthings   Thanks!

This week we're talking all about cryptids and a nice follow up on a declassified UFO we covered in our episode USS Nimitz! Join Acadia, Mells, and Shooey on a trip down to Fresno, CA in this episode. And also hear us gloat a bit about the dancing tic tac. Have questions? Comments? Email us at strangefulthings@gmail.com

We have never covered a topic that changes history as much as this one. Join Mells, Shooey and Acadia on a journey to Turkey and the distant past. And there might be some mysteries in there, too!

This week join Acadia, Mells, and Shooey as they dive into the Georgia Guidestones. Controversially known as America's Stonehenge, this oddity is not far from where Mells grew up! The crew will discuss all sorts of weird stuff like freemasons, Rosecrucians, and much more so be sure to tune in. As quoted by a former resident of Elberton, GA, "What's a better story than sacrificial lambs, rednecks, and mullets?" Let's find out!

Part two of the Axeman (yeah, I'm spelling it different this week, whaddaya gonna do?) of New Orleans is upon us from the "Hottest hell." Find out what happens when a scrawny, weakling of a killer decides to hold an entire town hostage with the threat of ax murder to make jazz and the Sears catalog mainstays of the American south! You'll be jazzin' it, jazzin' it, jazzin' it with Acadia, Shooey and Jen Sandwich down in the Big Easy with the final episode of The Ax Man of New Orleans. 

This week, Strangeful Things will regale you with the story of the New Orleans Axe Man! No, not the body spray that paired well with Ed Hardy, dad hats and No Fear tees. We're talking about an ax-wielding serial killer who was the bane of Italian grocers in the Big Easy.  There are bumbling cops, unreliable eyewitnesses and a music-loving amateur murderer whose passion for weapons of convenience is only surpassed by their enthusiasm for "jazzin' it."  Join Acadia, Shooey and Jen for the first of a two-parter, The Ax Man of New Orleans!

Come with Acadia, Mells, Sandwich and Shooey to the magical land of wealthy tourists, serial killers, high content alcoholic beverages and the home to our very own Shooey: Lake Ronkonkoma, Long Island, New York. This week it's a spooky, Shooey-centric tale born in the murky, bottomless water of Lake Ronkonkoma! And you might even learn a little history, too!

It's a Men Only show (not to be confused with Members Only, but I bet these two Gen-Xers both had one)! See how the fellas fare without Mells and Sandwich as they take you to the weirdest town in the US, PORTLAND! No, not the one in Maine, but the other one where in 1958 an entire family and their lux station wagon mysteriously disappear. Learn about the Gorge, a snack bar at which to make your peace and look longingly on a time when an electrician's salary could support home ownership, a family and a fancy car the size of my apartment. 

Cannibalism isn't just for other people, it's for you, too! That's called autocannibalism! Sandwich throws her hat in the ring this week to tell Mells, Shooey and a very grossed out Acadia about a little thing called autosarcophagy (the act of eating oneself).  WARNING: Content is somewhat graphic and includes talk of gore, self-mutilation and non-suicidal self-harm.

Acadia, Mells, Shooey and Sandwich travel to Russia for the tale of Alexander Bychkov, The Belinsky Cannibal.  We're su-"spicious" of how such a young guy could have ended up senselessly murdering (and possibly eating) up to 11 victims in such a short period of time.  We'll also tell you about a cigarette ravine, crab about the toilet paper shortage and how to dry yourself with your new bidet.
