Oddity Poddity: A Paranormal Podcast

Merry Murdermas! Today I read you a story about a guy who was rushing around to get out of town for a Christmas ski trip and forgot his luggage. No worries, his good buddy volunteered to lend him a kit bag. But there was something special about this bag...

We haven't riffed on religion in a hot second, so during the season of supernatural miracles (the birth of little baby Jesus, a big fat man being able to squeeze down 3 billion chimneys in one night, surviving Black Friday, etc), we're gonna talk about 3 nasty people who miraculously became saints and how they got there. A nice reminder that redemption is for everyone!

Happy TG everyone! I sure am thankful for all the blessings in my life, and that includes you!! I know you're busy fighting with your family today, but if you need a breather, here's a short episode about a haunted tattoo parlor and the extra special way it gained its ghosts.

The title has an exclamation point because it's extra special to me! In this episode we talk about the famously haunted Bono bridge, the even more haunted Keller's Chapel Cemetery, and then a little palate cleanser about a very old ghost who patrols downtown. If you like spooky small towns, this one is for you. Jonesvegas forever!

I took off last weekend to check out the foliage in Little Rhody and came back with a couple of neat stories. First, I toured The Breakers, the colossal "summer cottage" of the famous Vanderbilt family in Newport. It's a massive mansion where a lot of sad stuff happened and where the matriarch of the family is said to still live. Then I hit up Lizzie Borden's house in nearby Fall River, Massachusetts. You know, the place where she chopped her parental units to death? Yeahhhhhh. Listen and relive the weekend with me!

You've all heard of the Bermuda Triangle but did you know that there's a place you can get lost forever that's completely landlocked and accessible on foot? But why would you want that knowledge, you psychos???
Between 1943 and 1950, six people disappeared in the wooded area known as the Bennington Triangle in Bennington, Vermont. Two of those people died mysteriously. Were the Native's stories about the cursed land true or was a serial killer at work? Or both?

Guys, this is one that I've been obsessed with for years. In fact, it was the first podcast episode I wrote more than a year ago but since new developments are constantly being found, I kept needing to update it! So, here it is - the mystery of how a 2,200-year-old computer was found in the remains of an ancient Roman shipwreck. Has science solved the mystery or will we never know the truth?

Just a small town girl, livin' in a ghosty worrrrrrrld! That's probably what every woman in Dahlonega, Georgia is thinking every second of the day. This tiny town, located about 35 miles from the uber haunted Tallulah Falls, has a ghost inhabiting just about every public building, hotel and restaurant. In this episode we cover a handful of them, and the macabre ways these hauntings came to be. From the kidnapping of a Cherokee princess to the unsolved death of the town's Mayor to a tragic train accident, this town's history reads more like a Stephen King novel!
