In this episode of Strange and Far Out, Tessyrella explores the darker side of Disneyland—from tragic accidents and infamous deaths to urban legends, real human skeletons on Pirates of the Caribbean, the rumor that no one "officially" dies at Disneyland, and the enduring mystery of Walt Disney's allegedly frozen remains.

Along the way, we dive into why so many of us feel emotionally connected to places like Disneyland, why Disney adults get so much attention online, and why stories of tragedy feel especially unsettling when they happen somewhere designed to feel safe, magical, and perfect.

In this episode of Strange & Far Out, we time travel through the year and pause in the strange liminal space between Christmas and the New Year — when time feels warped, motivation fades, and emotions rise to the surface.

We explore ancient winter traditions like Yule and the Winter Solstice, unpack Christmas as a ritual of comfort and nostalgia, and examine the pressure tied to New Year resets. Through familiar segments like Mood Ring Moment, Time Capsule, and Time Machine, this episode reflects on the year that's passing and why the in-between days affect us so deeply.

No resolutions. No rushing.

Just a moment to sit in the space between.

In Part Two of our Mary Shelley series, Tessyrella steps into the stormy heart of Frankenstein — not to talk about "the monster," but the wounded, lonely creature who just wanted someone to stay. Things get a little deep in this little therapy session no one asked for, but we all need!

Tessyrella cracks open the strange psychology behind hybristophilia — the phenomenon where people are romantically or sexually attracted to violent criminals.

It's spooky, soulful, and delightfully strange — a far-out journey through the veil. 👻✨
