In this deeply strange and oddly inspiring episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro unearth the haunting tale of Lalloo Ramparsad, a man born in 19th-century India with a parasitic twin attached to his body. Lalloo spent his life navigating a world that saw him as a curiosity, not a person—touring sideshows while quietly fighting for dignity and acceptance in a time that offered little of either.
Then, things really heat up as we explore the world’s eternal flames—natural fires that have been burning for thousands of years. Sacred shrines? Geological flukes? Hell’s pilot lights? You decide.
Expect mystery, empathy, and fire that won’t quit. Because sometimes the most unbelievable stories… are still burning. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit <a href="https://megaphone.fm/adchoices">megaphone.fm/adchoices</a>
