It’s getting weird out there—and not just because of the Summerween decorations! In this festive and freaky episode, Jim and Dar dive headfirst into some of the strangest and most fascinating paranormal stories making headlines. Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart reveals shocking new details about the infamous Tic Tac UAP footage, while mysterious black goo discovered on a Cleveland ship may be a never-before-seen life form. Meanwhile, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna stirs up debate with a cryptic tweet linking UAPs and angels.

Also this week: strange ball lightning flashes in Alberta, archaeologists are baffled by some very large Roman-era shoes, and Khloé Kardashian shares her own spooky encounters. Plus, what's up with Nessie's mysterious “lumps”? And as Summerween gains popularity, we explore how the spooky season is making a splash in the middle of July with booming sales, parties, and haunted happenings. All this and more on this episode!
