While Edgar Allan Poe’s life has been significantly documented, his death is up for debate. Was alcohol the main culprit? Did he have dormant rabies? Or was he killed?

The Sinister Hat Man Phenomena is experienced all around the world. The popular shadow figure lurks in people’s homes, watching them sleep and peering around corners. Why is this particular shadow figure wearing a hat and trench coat? Is it different than other shadow men? Could The Hat Man be tied to sleep paralysis? We discuss all of this and more!

Let's go back a few decades to arguably the most infamous and haunted doll of all time - Annabelle. Unlike the Annabelle and Conjuring movie counterpart, she is not a porcelain terrifying toy. Instead, she is a generic raggedy Ann doll. But, that is all that is generic about her. It is claimed that she can move on her own, write creepy notes, and cause physical harm especially when you’re behind the wheel. But, is it all real? Listen now!

Do you ever get an odd feeling that a situation, location, or conversation you're having is eerily familiar without any recollection as to why? What about being able to predict an event because you swore that you witnessed it before? Today, we discuss déjà vu.

In today's episode, we discuss why we shouldn’t trust pretty ladies in green dresses that appear out of nowhere offering food we have always craved. Maybe a fairy can help us find something that “went missing” but at what cost. And what is a fairy’s favorite food? Probably some natural honey or something like that?

This week, we finally venture back into the wonderful world of aliens. But first, let’s take a trip to the 90s! Back in 1997, thousands of folks in Arizona saw what they claimed as a huge object in the night sky - 6000 feet long - with countless lights.

Folks report hearing a knock at their door late and night and open it to find two small, eerie children. They always ask for a favor, or sometimes to come inside. It’s easy to slip into a trance until you notice their eyes are pitch black.

What lives in the vastness of the ocean? Are there spirits that crave human flesh, or gentile creatures that want to help us? We may never know for sure but Sirens and Mermaids will always be in the back of our minds when traveling the seas.

Antonio Villas Boas was abducted and seduced in space by alien beings. All was going well until he tried to take an artifact home back to Earth.

Known as one of the most famous alien abduction stories, this encounter follows Charlie and Calvin as a simple fishing trip turns into a crazy and life-changing night. And while you may think the story is over after the initial UFO abduction, it is truly just the beginning.

We discuss a very popular spirit (thanks to Disney, of course) that is very different than media portrays them. We are talking about Jinn.

Since we can pinpoint the exact origin of The Slender Man lore that took the internet by storm about 5-10 years ago, we can simply put a pin in it an call this urban legend unbelievable, right? Maybe not. We investigate the idea that with so many people putting thoughts and energy into The Slenderman is it possible that, like a Tulpa, The Slenderman could have become a conscious being.

If you love stories about creepy creatures that lurk in the woods and peer through your window late at night, this is a Believing the Bizarre episode you’re going to want to dive into. We have four listener submission stories that all revolve around bumping into cryptids and creatures that pull you out of reality and into terror.

What would you do if mysterious, creepy, and unsettling notes started showing up at your house? Notes that were very detailed and specific about your family? That is what happened to the family at 657 Boulevard in Westfield, NJ.

It is peculiar and alarming how many people seem to vanish in National Forests. Are they going missing because it is easy to get lost? Or, could there be paranormal forces at play?

This is a touchy and relevant subject, but it is also highly discussed when it comes to conspiracy theories. This episode, we tactfully discuss 3 common conspiracy theories that surround the 9/11 tragedy and tell you which ones we buy and which ones are ridiculous. Of course, it needn’t be said, but still, we want to reiterate that 9/11 is absolutely a national tragedy, and in no way to our opinions or discussion take away from the grief many individuals and facilities still feel today.

Is it possible for a Ouija board experience to curse a house? A cabin in Chile is said to be cursed due to speaking to an unforgiving entity through a spirit board.

Have you ever tried the Randonautica app? If you’ve gone randonauting, chances are you ended up visiting somewhere you otherwise would not have. Do you attribute this to your own free will, or is there something bigger at play?

Leap Castle is in Offaly county and has been around for centuries. It was even burnt down in 1922 due to tension of loyalties between Britain and Ireland. However, there are many that say ghosts, and other spirits, have deep roots in Leap Castle, like The Priest in the bloody chapel,or Emily and Charlotte who play in the main entrance, or the slaughtered Red Lady who died a tragic death. Others say there is a far more sinister entity that stalks the castle, known as an elemental. But, do we find it believable? Listen now!

Welcome to another episode of Believing the Bizarre. This week, we are mixing it up! As you know, every couple of weeks we put out an episode that is a Listener Submission - essentially an episode dedicated to a listener's personal paranormal encounter. However, occasionally we receive a submission that is shorter and cannot fill an entire episode. We feel these episodes deserve their time in the limelight, too. So, welcome to the beginning of our Listener Submission Collections! This week, we have three episodes that range from cave-dwelling creatures and UFOs to a ghost investigation gone wrong. But, how #believable are they?
