Ope, Whatchya Think?

This episode drinks through the booze-soaked legend of Haunchyville, a rumored tiny village in Wisconsin said to be home to escaped circus little people and guarded by a tall albino protector.

Hosts trade laughs, skeptics’ theories, and spooky-silly tales about the village’s origins, alleged violence, and local teenage rites while knocking back beers and banter.

A raucous, booze-fueled exploration of Whitewater, Wisconsin's haunted history — from Morris Pratt's Spiritualist School and cloaked seances at the eerie water tower to the town's "Haunted Triangle" and a supposedly cursed hymn book guarded in the college archives. The hosts debate whether the "Second Salem" reputation is real or sensationalized, mixing history, jokes, and paranormal speculation.

Hosts trade barroom banter while diving into the legend of the Goatman of Hogsback Road near Richfield, Wisconsin — a half-man, half-goat figure tied to a violent 19th-century origin story and modern, unsettling sightings that have terrified locals and hunters.

Between jokes and regional jabs, they recount stories of drivers veering off cliffs, eerie smells and sounds, and debate whether the phenomenon is a cryptid, a poltergeist, or folklore born from the landscape.

This episode explores the alleged Smiley Face killings linked to a string of drownings around La Crosse, Wisconsin, where intoxicated college students were found in the Mississippi River and nearby sloughs.

The hosts discuss case details, smiley-face graffiti, investigations by retired detectives, competing theories (accident, serial killer, or cult), and personal reactions, and they tease a follow-up with possible survivor testimony.

Hosts drink and banter while unpacking the legend of the House of Blue Lights: the eccentric millionaire Skiles Test, his blue-lit glass-brick home, rumors of a glass coffin, hundreds of buried pets, and teens who trespassed and burned outbuildings. The episode contrasts folklore with documented history and traces how wild local myths grow from real eccentricities and community rumor.

In this lighthearted episode, the hosts get drunk and dig into the strange Midwest practice of dowsing (water witching). They trade personal anecdotes about using copper rods, discuss scientific explanations like the ideomotor effect and electromagnetic anomalies, and share stories of successful finds from linemen and utility workers.

The conversation mixes skepticism and belief, with plans to test dowsing on camera and more episodes exploring regional folk magic. Expect booze, banter, and curiosity about whether this old technique really works.

In this episode the hosts trade banter and drinks before recounting the chilling true-crime saga of the 1930s Cleveland Torso Murders. They describe bodies and dismembered torsos found around Kingsbury Run, the killer's surgical methods, and the panic that followed.

The episode covers key suspects and theories — from a disturbed medical professional like Dr. Francis Sweeney to itinerant attackers or copycats — and recounts Elliot Ness's controversial raid on the hobo encampments. The case remains one of America’s most baffling unsolved crimes.

Hosts celebrate a one-year anniversary episode of their paranormal podcast.

They drink, trade stories, and revisit earlier Wisconsin UFO cases.

The episode links the Belleville sighting with the Elmwood encounters near Tuttle Hill.

They recount Officer George Wheeler’s sightings in 1974, 1975, and 1976.

Wheeler described large glowing craft that were silent and maneuvered oddly.

One craft hovered between a limestone quarry and a farmhouse with portholes and occupants.

Wheeler reported radio failure and his patrol car experienced total electrical failure.

He suffered memory loss, headaches, and severe agitation after an intense bluish flash.

Local witnesses reported electronics failing and dogs acting strangely that night.

Wheeler’s health declined rapidly and he later died of unknown causes.

Hosts compare this case to other 1970s UFO incidents and Havana syndrome-like effects.

They discuss location-based patterns and the possibility of anomalous geography.

The episode mixes research, humor, and personal reactions from the hosts.

Listeners are invited to share their own stories as the podcast enters its second year.

In this rambunctious episode the hosts get drunk and dig into the Mothman sightings around Point Pleasant, the strange reports leading up to the 1967 Silver Bridge collapse, and local lore that ties the winged cryptid to disaster.

Expect eyewitness stories, wild theories (from owls to interdimensional beings), roadside humor, and a conversational, joking tone as the crew mixes research with bar talk and cultural speculation.

Four drunk Midwest hosts riff and drink while recounting the bizarre 1968 tale of the "Minnesota Iceman": a large, hairy humanoid shown in a block of ice by carnival exhibitor Frank D. Hansen. They summarize the creature's disputed origins, the examinations by university students and Smithsonian investigators, the stench and cracks in the ice, the conflicting second specimen, and theories that range from genuine flesh to an elaborate hoax.

The hosts debate evidence, laugh about legends, and ultimately remain skeptical while enjoying more drinks and banter, closing the episode with thoughts on why the original Iceman vanished and how the story lives on as Midwestern carnival lore.
