Highly Strange episodes

  • Episode 37: Cursed Movies

    Hollywood acts as a window into society's greatest fears and superstitions. Horror films surround themselves in an air of the mysterious and menace, breeding to some, the ideas of evil.

    What happens when a series of unfortunate and tragic mishaps occurs during the production of our favourite films?

    Join us this week as Sarah suffers from "the worst hangover" she's ever had as we talk about car crashes, Mongolian John Wayne and demonic tissue advertisements.

  • Episode 36: The Mysterious Death of Zigmund Adamski

    On the afternoon of June 6th, 1980, Zigmund Adamski left his house to buy some potatoes from his nearby corner shop. Five days later his body would be discovered atop a 12 foot coal heap, a few miles away from his home. 

     Six months later, police constable Alan Godfrey was on a call to investigate reports that a herd of cows were released upon a local council estate. 

     What was happening in Yorkshire in the 1980s, and what connects these two events?

    In today's episode we discuss the Falcon Lake Incident and the Cash-Landrum Incident, where people didn't just see, but were in fact injured by UFOs.

  • Episode 28: Polybius - MK Ultra or Myth?

    Video games are supposed to be a way for us to unwind and distract ourselves from the world around us. But what if some games actually threaten us? 

    In 1981, the children of Portland were under threat from a mysterious new game and a legion of mysterious men in black. 

    Join us this week as we discuss Polybius, the psychedelic and quite possibly evil video game that may or may not have existed!
