Join us in the grotto this week as we are joined by very special guests, Mike and Lisa of The Freakybuttrue Peculiarium in Portland, OR, a local museum of oddities, bizarre artifacts, and art, which is truly a one-of-a-kind experience!

Mike and Lisa share their story of how and why they started the Peculiarium, how they collected/found items found in the museum, and of course we also discuss some local legends like Jake the Alligator Man and Colossal Claude.

We were so thrilled to have a chance to spend time with these two, and were inspired by the passion and quirky creativity they bring to their work.

The sticker shown in the episode cover can be found at the Peculiarium's gift shop.

Join us in the Grotto this week as we dive into a UK listener's story! Ellen emailed us about a story from her childhood about a strange shadow, and it ignites a fun paranormal debate with Dave and I on what the shadow could have been and how it got there.

Ellen is also a host on Spooky and Kooky, a podcast about the paranormal, horror, and conspiracy theories all mixed with some fun. Ellen does the podcast with her co-host Alice. Listening to them is a great time and we highly recommend them!
