Strangeful Things

Happy October, everyone! This week is a Ladies Night episode with Jenn bringing us the real story behind the Salem Witch Trials!

Staying in a historic hotel while you’re on vacation is lots of fun. Staying in a historic hotel on the cheap is even better! Unless that hotel is full of drugs, rape and murder! In this episode, Christy and Acadia take us to Los Angeles, California to investigate the infamous Cecil Hotel! We also learn how to play the Korean Elevator Game and Christy explains to Acadia how bras work. The post Los Angeles, California – The Cecil Hotel appeared first on Strangeful Things.

Some people would use the power of invisibility to tap people on the shoulder to freak them out or steal pies out of bakeries. But this week, Jenn and Acadia take a look at invisible assailants who do a lot worse than that. Well, maybe they don’t take a LOOK but you know what we mean.

“Behind those filmy curtains,” Medina Street mothers told their children when family circles were gathered around the hearths, “stalks a bad witch-woman. Her name is Mrs. Rose Veres. She bewitches factory men, they go to live in her house, and in the cellar the witch-woman brews potions. She has the Evil Eye. When she looks at these men, they have to do when she tells them. They want to go away, but they can’t. She bewitches them. Then they die.”  In this week’s episode, Christy takes us to Detroit, Michigan circa 1920s to talk about a story you probably haven’t heard before. The Witch of Delray!

This week, Christy takes us to the Andaman Islands in search of tropical paradise and finds only VIOLENCE AND MURDER! We take a look at the Sentinelese people who inhabit North Sentinel Island in the Bay of Bengal, who viciously refuse contact from outsiders and will straight up kill castaways! Jenn has found her people! The post Bay of Bengal – Murder Island appeared first on Strangeful Things.

In 1976, four friends decided to go canoeing through the Allagash Waterway in Maine.  In part one of the Allagash Abduction, we find out who the guys were and how they got to Eagle Lake that one fateful night in August.  And we get to hear Jenn sing!

Move over, Mothman! Point Pleasant, West Virginia no longer has the market cornered on flying, man-shaped creatures. There have been a slew of sightings of a huge, bat-shaped, man-sized creature seen this year! IN CHICAGO. Maybe Mothman’s teenage son finally turned 18 and left West Virginia to make his way in the Windy City. Who knows? Christy takes us through all the sightings in this week’s episode. There’s also an interactive map of sightings here if you want to follow along! The post Chicago, Illinois – The Chicago Humanoid appeared first on Strangeful Things.

Not going to lie to you, dear listeners.  The Bell Witch is mean and scary and made us do a show like we never have before.  Listen to Christy and Jenn bring the story of the evil witch and the sexy frontier child whom she hated to life in the most vivid episode yet!  You might not want to listen in your car.  We will not be held responsible!

Amelia Earhart has been in the news again lately due to a 2 hour special recently aired by the History Channel, revolving around a photo purported to show Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, on a dock on Saipan around the time they disappeared. Turns out, the photo was actually published in a Japanese travel book in 1935, two full years before Earhart disappeared. ::sad trombone:: Also, according to The International Group for Historical Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR), most of the other evidence in the special was old, previously debunked theories and inaccurate information. ::bigger sad trombone:: Despite all that, we thought this would be an excellent time to go over the facts of the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, her navigator, Fred Noonan and her Lockheed Electra Model 10E. Enjoy! The post Amelia Earhart – The Real Facts appeared first on Strangeful Things.

Who’s afraid of mail that isn’t a bill?  The people of Circleville, Ohio, that’s who.  Come with us as we dig into the mystery surrounding the Circleville Letters that messed with the town and its citizens in the 70s and 80s.  The Letter Writer even wrote to a certain TV show warning them not to do a story on the unsolved mystery.  Bet you can’t guess what the name of the show was! Don’t guess: we will tell you during the podcast.  Seriously weird story. The post Circleville, OH – Dead Letters appeared first on Strangeful Things.

This week we find yet another reason to steer clear of Florida, despite our charming fell companion Christy’s residence there. You know that weird kid from elementary school with the dead eyes? Yeah, this is that guy. Tune in to find out about his horrors. We apologize in advance. The post Florida – Gerard John Schaefer appeared first on Strangeful Things.

In case you were about to feel safe traveling the country this summer, maybe for vacation, you can take a listen to this and then stuff that idea in a sack! Israel Keyes was a bad guy. A really really bad guy. The post Anchorage, AK – Israel Keyes appeared first on Strangeful Things.

We finish up our octopus fishing trip this week by figuring out what might have actually happened to Danny Casolaro.  Well, what happened to him is pretty obvious to us, but WHY it happened is not so clear.  And what does Danny’s story have to teach us about today? The post MARTINSBURG, WV Part 2 – Danny Casolaro Conclusion appeared first on Strangeful Things.

This week, Acadia makes the Fell Companions doubt everything they know by digging into what exactly happened to free-lance writer Danny Casolaro in 1991.  The short answer?  Well, there isn’t one.  So come figure it out with us.  And make sure you don’t trust anyone.  Ever! The post Martinsburg, WV – The Puzzling Case of Danny Casolaro appeared first on Strangeful Things.

This week we decided to talk about terrible people who lived a long time ago, Ancient Rome to be exact.  That sort of makes it easier to deal with, I think.  Most people don’t feel bad for victims in olden times because they had all probably just gotten done beating their kids or kicking a cat onto a roof.  So listen to the Fell Companions gasp a plenty while we cover the following topics in horrid detail: Roman government Types of Roman citizens The rise of the Emperors Caligula (ugh) Claudius (double ugh) Tiberius (get out) Commodus (poor footless soldiers) Sejanus (technically it was all legal) Nero (I might quit the show) Locusta!  At last a hero! The big finale – oh, that’s now how I hoped that would end at all. The post Rome – An Empire of Monsters appeared first on Strangeful Things.

This week we take a break from story telling to test the horrific knowledge of your hosts.  B Nev, Christy and Jenn square off in a Battle Royale of questions slung at them with gusto by Acadia. Who will win?  How many answers will you know?  Will there be surprises?  The answers to all those questions (and all the game questions) are in the show. And if you want to play along, go for it.  Anything you blurt out on the bus totally counts and will be good practice for when we play the game with the fans in Episode 22. No joke.  Bone up on your Strangeful Things lore because there WILL be a test! The post Strangeful Things Gameshow – Episode One appeared first on Strangeful Things.

Season Two premieres with Part 2 of Mysterious Disappearances in National Parks! Christy really hammers home the point that you never want to be first or last of your group while hiking. And for gods sakes, don’t ever hike alone!  Welcome to Season Two! The post Crater Lake, Oregon – Whisked Away appeared first on Strangeful Things.
