Oddity Poddity: A Paranormal Podcast

Hey guys, here I am to ruin your spring break bliss by shouting, "ARUBA, WTH???" Hopefully, you're not in Aruba this week. Or ever! Because so many people have gone missing without a trace down there that their tourism websites even post missing person alerts. In this episode, we look at those on visitaruba.com and ponder what in the heck happened and what in the heck is being done about it.
If you have any information about the whereabouts of these missing people, please click on the following links to find out who to report it to. Thanks in advance.

An oldie but a goody - the classic tale of a dude who got fed up with his caregiving job and acted like a total psycho (because he was!).
To Edgar A. Poe - thanks for everything!

I talk a lot about most haunted this-and-that, but this one tops the World's Most Haunted list year after year. That's because the Ancient Ram Inn, located in the village of Wotton-Under-Edge, England, is not only the site of macabre murder and death, but also sits upon a magically charged land.

If you've listened to this podcast for a while or follow us on social media, you know how much I love Eureka Springs, Arkansas! Not only is it home to one of the most haunted hotels in America, the 1886 Crescent, it's a paranormal hub unlike no other. What does that even mean? For starters, there's another hotel that's haunted by the ghosts of gangsters and barefoot hillbillies, an ill-fated doctor's home and so much more. Listen and learn about all the freaky deaky stuff going on in that town and all you can see and do there that will scar you for life!

Dig if you will the picture...of you moving into a quaint older home and finding human remains! This is highly likely if your new home was once the meeting place of a chapter of the Independent Order of Oddfellows, a somewhat secret society devoted to helping others and, apparently, collecting bodies!
