In the late 19th century, in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, the hodag—a monster that sprung up in the tall tales of local logging camps— made its national  debut when one was supposedly captured alive and put on display at a county fair. We are very sorry we missed it.

In cities across the world, the last decades have brought reports of mysterious hums, vibrations, and trumpeting noises--loud enough to disrupt the lives of those that hear them, and resisting easy explanation. Only some people can hear the humming--and no one knows why.

This week, we’re bringing you a full-length bonus crossover episode with our friends Corrine and Sabrina, hosts of Two Girls One Ghost -- AKA, the most haunted podcast in America. Corrine and Sabrina spun a hilarious and bizarre tale for us--one of a very unusual resident of a family home. It’s got ghosts who might be forest spirits or reincarnated time travelers, or maybe aliens. It’s got mongooses. It’s got the most unusual spelling of Jeff (GEF!) that we’ve ever encountered. Really, it’s a very good time. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. 

 We visited their show to tell one of your favorite unexplained stories, so be sure to go check it out! You can find Two Girls One Ghost wherever you listen to podcasts—listen if you dare. You can find their show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and every other platform!

Laurah is recovering from Covid. Thanks for your patience! 

Back in 2000, one of the first viral “haunted” Ebay auctions listed an allegedly cursed painting titled The Hands Resist Him; it was alleged to spark all kinds of supernatural activity, which surprised exactly no one who’d gazed upon the spooky work. But was it actually plagued by any sort of ill-luck or tied to true ghostly activity?

Introducing the true crime podcast Persona: The French Deception— the story of Gilbert Chikli, one of the greatest con artists of all time. What does it feel like to pick up the phone and scam someone out of $50 million? Host and award-winning journalist, Evan Ratliff, investigates how Chikli successfully duped some of the world’s most powerful people into handing over their fortunes. He explores how Chikli evaded the law for years and became a Robin Hood-like hero. More than just a tale of criminal genius, this is a show about the moment we’re living in right now — the golden age of scammers — and the power of seduction. But what happens when the fantasy we’ve been lured into finally crumbles away?

For all that and more, follow “Persona: The French Deception” wherever you get your podcasts. Or you can listen early on Amazon Music or early and ad-free by subscribing to Wondery Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondery app: http://wondery.fm/OST_Persona

Laurah’s out sick; please enjoy a re-release of one of our favorite episodes. 

A Washington man named Jason Padgett loved partying, muscle cars, and getting buff at the local gym, and would have been content to live his life singing karaoke and chasing girls--until a fateful attack changed his worldview. . . quite literally. When he woke up the next day after receiving serious blows to the head, Jason realized that he could see things that others couldn’t. And he didn’t know what to make of them.

Mercy Brown, Rhode Island vampire—allegedly so—is considered to be the last of the state’s unfortunate focal points in its 19th century vampire panics; but like so many other supernatural superstitions we dig into, there’s much more beneath the surface. 

The Exeter Vampire panic is more complex, and perhaps distorted, than we’ve been led to believe. . .all through haze of the horror of the plague of tuberculosis.

In 1976, a quartet of campers in the Maine wilderness would have an experience that would transform them into the Allagash Four--known in UFO circles as some of the most famous “alien abductees’ of all time. But when one of the men’s stories ran counter to the others, well--then things got a little more complicated.

Arizona might not seem like the typical setting for holiday magic, but for decades, some mysterious local “elves” have turned a spherical, scrubby-looking desert juniper out on I-17 into what has to have been one of America’s more unlikely Christmas spectacles; but who are they, and why are they so determined to light up the lonely landscape?

A big Halloween party at an apartment complex in Redmond, Washington. Themed rooms and costumed partygoers. But by the end of the party, one of the hosts is dead. The police look to the partiers as the prime suspects: was it the guy in the devil mask, the bank robber, the construction worker? As investigators comb through forensic evidence, witness testimony, DNA, and even consult with a psychic, they zero in on one suspect in particular. But for what reason? Host and reporter Matthew Shaer (Over My Dead Body) returns to the scene of the crime, speaks with everyone about a night that still haunts them years later. It’s a series about race and policing, mislaid justice, cutting-edge science, and the kinds of weighty choices that cops and prosecutors make every day -- choices that, once made, are difficult to reverse.

Listen to SUSPECT: http://wondery.fm/Suspect_StrangeThing

Amid the very earliest days of the midcentury flying saucer craze, two women in small-town Washington see something weird in the skies: men, in gray jumpsuits, whizzing around with space-age jetpacks that defy contemporary science. But nobody else will admit to seeing them… and the story somehow does get weirder from there.

In the 1960s, one hopeful British psychiatrist hoped he could prevent disaster—not with science, but with the supernatural. For a number of years. Dr. John Barker’s “Premonition Bureaus” collected psychic visions with a single goal: stopping tragedy before it could strike.

The Gulf Breeze UFO Sightings are among the most infamous in US extraterrestrial canon; Floridian Ed Walters claimed that for six months ranging from late 1987 through the spring of 1988, he experienced a number of close encounters with aliens and their space crafts: ones that he allegedly captured on film. MUFON investigators, skeptics, scientists, and even the X-Files’ Agent Fox Mulder have weighed in on Ed’s story: now, we invite you to consider whether the Gulf Breeze Sightings were one of the most remarkable instances of alien contact in history, or simply an elaborate hoax.

As a little holiday treat, we wanted to share one of our favorite episodes with you again — ad free — to enjoy this weekend.

Arizona might not seem like the typical setting for holiday magic, but for decades, some mysterious local “elves” have turned a spherical, scrubby-looking desert juniper out on I-17 into what has to have been one of America’s more unlikely Christmas spectacles; but who are they, and why are they so determined to light up the lonely landscape?

Tristan Redman is a journalist who doesn’t believe in ghosts. But weird things happened in his teenage bedroom – weirder than normal. When, years later, he discovers subsequent occupants of his family home say they have been visited by the ghost of a faceless woman, he’s curious. It just so happens that the house Tristan grew up in is right next door to the house where his wife’s great grandmother, Naomi Dancy, was murdered – killed by two gunshots to the face. Could there be a connection? Tristan decides to investigate and soon finds himself where no son-in-law should ever be: delving deep into his wife’s family history asking questions no-one wants answered.

For two hundred years, a very famous poem has heralded the holiday season, and for some, the arrival of Santa Claus—but perhaps less known is the mystery it brings along with it. Whether you know it as “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” or “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” there’s more to this one than mice and stockings and ho ho ho.

Is sugar really more addictive than cocaine? Does intermittent fasting work? Should I buy crypto? We’re all on 24-7 information overload, on our news feeds, in our inboxes, on TikTok… it’s hard to know what is real and what isn’t. Every week on CALL ME CURIOUS, Nikki Boyer (Dying for Sex, The Daily Smile) and friends like Mr. Malone are going to dive into all the things you’ve heard about, but don’t really know about. That’s right - No more nodding along at parties or running into the bathroom to Google, “Why do people get nipple rings?” We’ll learn and laugh as we explore life’s little mysteries, the internet’s hot topics, and burning gotta-know questions.

In Southwestern Connecticut, in a little village tucked into Monroe, there’s a legend of a local witch named Hannah Cranna—a woman who killed her husband and got away with it. But that’s just the start of trouble caused by an elderly woman who ran circles around her neighbors.

The Bell family was prominent and well-liked by their neighbors in Robertson County, Tennessee. So when an apparent spirit manifested in the Bell home, people believed them. And when that so-called witch pivoted from conjuring snacks to causing young lovers to break up, and a patriarch to pass away suddenly… people had questions.

West Virginia isn’t the only region to boast its very own Mothman; since the mid-20 century, Chicago and the Lake Michigan area has had reports of flying humanoids, and those sightings have only picked up since 2011. Why have sightings of the Chicago or Lake Michigan Mothman increased, and what’s behind the mysterious wings in the sky?

 In the late 1970s, a rural Ohio family came face-to-face--or maybe it’s fur-to-fur--with the Midwest’s most infamous version of Bigfoot, the Grassman. Whether you call it Orange Eyes or The Minerva Monster, the creature who allegedly lurked in Paris Township in 1978 created much unwanted attention for the unhappy objects of its attention.

The Loch Ness Monster, affectionately known as Nessie, is one of the world’s most elusive and intriguing creatures. The first written account of the monster dates back to 564 A.D., and sightings have continued to be reported throughout the centuries, with the most famous being the 1934 “surgeon’s photograph.” Despite numerous investigations, the mystery surrounding the Loch Ness Monster persists, with conflicting theories about its identity and existence. In this episode, we delve into the history and lore of the Loch Ness Monster, exploring the various accounts and scientific theories surrounding this elusive creature.

Throughout the history of conventional archeology, artifacts have been found that seem to defy what we know about what we know. Did the Maine Penny, the Shroud of Turin, and the Antikythera Mechanism simply evade our previous understandings of what ancient societies were doing, and where, and when — or is there a case to be made for otherworldly intervention?

Classical music composers throughout time have envied Beethoven’s output — and the fact that his ninth symphony, with “Ode To Joy,” was such a juggernaut. But there’s an old superstition about composing ninth and tenth symphonies in Beethoven’s wake… and there’ve been enough deaths involved that the prospect of a curse is worth considering.

This is a special brief episode to introduce you to a podcast that we recently discovered, called What Was That Like. It’s quite different from any other show you listen to.

Each episode is a conversation with a regular person who has been through some type of extremely unusual situation, such as being shot in a mass shooting, surviving a plane crash, getting bitten by a rattlesnake, or getting a deal on Shark Tank (those are a few of the past episodes). The guest comes on the show and tells the story of what happened, first hand.

For many of the episodes, in addition to the person involved telling the details, you’ll also hear the 911 calls and police radio communication that happened during that situation.

With 100 past episodes, you’ll be bingeing this show for a while. Some of the episode titles:

• Ramon’s wife hired a hit man to kill him
• Marina was stalked
• Kasey married a wrong number
• Westin survived a boat propeller
• Henry was attacked by an alligator
• Dave won big on Wheel of Fortune
• James was crushed by a tree
• Liz discovered a suicide

In the trailer today, you’ll hear a few clips from past shows to give you an idea of what to expect. If you like bizarre, true stories, told first hand by the person who experienced it, we think you’ll like this show.

You can find What Was That Like on any podcast app, including Spotify, or at the website – WhatWasThatLike.com.

Introducing our podcast, The Fall Line, which focuses on cold cases that have not received enough attention—a clip from our recent three-part series on the case of Chairo Garibay. On December 11th, 2005, 20-year-old Chairo disappeared; she’d planned on attending church with her family in Olivehurst, California, but she never showed. She was reported missing to the Yuba County Sheriff, and both her family and law enforcement began a search that extended through Christmas. It would be five weeks before Chairo was found. Though there would eventually be a 50,000-dollar reward authorized in Chairo’s case, no one has been arrested for her murder.

We're thrilled to share part of an episode of Southern Gothic with you today, and we think you'll love it: The Baynard Mausoleum is the oldest surviving structure on Hilton Head Island, but eerily, the family once interred inside is no longer there. Now, after a century of vandalism and treasure hunters has taken its toll, we attempt to explore the local lore that has sprung up to give this unique tomb a romantic origin story.

One Strange Thing digs deep into the forgotten experiences of everyday Americans... with a single unexplainable element: a house that bleeds, or a lost ring that turns up on another continent, or a mysterious hum.

This isn’t true crime, or tall tale, or dry history. It’s whimsy — with a hint of edge. Real stories of entirely normal people, save for one strange thing.

Subscribe now to get Episode 1 right when it releases on September 8th, 2020.

Coming to you deep from Florida’s swamps and, well, wherever else it wants to be, is the Sunshine State’s favorite cryptid, the skunk ape: an extra smelly bigfoot who grew popular in the 1970s but, perhaps, has been around a lot longer than that.

What would you do if a singular moment changed your life forever? This is Actually Happening is a weekly podcast from Wondery that brings you extraordinary true stories of life-changing events told by the people who lived them. You’ll hear from an Indian-American woman who was kidnapped at gunpoint by a masked man, and then assaulted by her kidnapper and an accomplice. Then, almost a year into her healing process, she finds out that her kidnappers were people that she knew, which sets her on a new life path and vocation. Her harrowing ordeal has an inspiring ending that you won’t want to miss.

This is just a preview of This is Actually Happening, but you can listen to the full episode at http://wondery.fm/TIAH_OneStrangeThing
