Superduperstitious

Pyramid power! Greek robots! Other Ancient Aliens bait! It can mean only one thing: tech tales from antiquity on Superduperstitious!

Wyatt kicks it off with a perhaps less well known conspiracy surrounding the Great Pyramid of Giza. And it’s not even the Daniel Jackson kind! Instead, it’s the one where the pyramid is actually a giant electrical power plant, one that a future David Bowie character could be proud of. And the weirdest part? There is a downright stupid amount of plausibility to this one.

Jake then gives us robots through the ages — Italian robots, a boat that totally doesn’t just sink, Hero’s high-speed porn tower — all the hits! And these babies are fully programmable, with not one sign of Skynet crap.

You’ll get all that, plus the introduction of an informative new segment (The Quaff™), all on this historically riveting new episode!

Spooky spots! Again! Kind of! This week is all about visits to mysterious locations and the mysterious mysteries that happen there — MYSTERIOUSLY.

After some requisite bat shit, Jake leads off with the curious case of Devil’s Kettle Falls in Minnesota, where half of a river apparently falls into oblivion. Where does all that water actually go? Can any natural phenomenon explain its apparent failure to reappear? How many cars do we have to cram into the thing to solve this?!

Wyatt then covers something ALMOST as chilling as disappearing water: disappearing people. Travel to Black Mountain in Queensland, Australia (but don’t) to see what happens if you wander inside this spooky pile o’ rocks (but probably don’t). What could possibly go wrong in a mountain that moans?

Here at Superduperstitious, we know just what sort of entertainment you crave from a podcast: high quality geology content. So listen to this brand new ep!

It’s always bugs o’clock here at Superduperstitious, because why the hell not?

After some passing yeti news, Wyatt opens with an increasingly uncomfortable tale of giant spiders in Mozambique. Is the j’ba fofi really out there? If so, it may bite your butt and make you die. And if not, you can still learn about all the other unholy arachnid abominations that definitely DO crawl across our world right now AND PROBABLY RIGHT BEHIND YOU OH GOD DID YOU FEEL THAT ON YOUR LEG AHHHHHH.

Jake then takes to the air with rods, also known as sky fish, also known as solar entities, also known as SUPER REAL. Follow these mysterious creatures from their discovery in the mid-nineties all the way to their journey’s end approximately ten years later. It’s a good time. And definitely not a flying squid.

Guys, just because you caught someone eating a bird ONCE doesn’t give you the right to make that name follow them forever. Crank up your shutter speed and tune in for this week’s Superduperstitious!

Rainy day doldrums got you down? That’s no reason not to disrespect the dead!

This week’s theme is seemingly paranormal medical phenomena, and Jake opens with a description of near-death experiences. What happens if you go toward the light? IS there really a light to go toward? And is Macho Man Randy Savage really waiting for you at the end of it?

The boys then pay their respects to the late medium/demonologist/book and movie mogul Lorraine Warren (and the even later Ed Warren) in very, very tasteful fashion. It’s a struggle not to cry as they recount their favorite Warren cases, how totally real those cases were, and how much they’ve always seen the Warrens as upstanding members of society.

Wyatt finishes things off with the frightening and mysterious phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion. Can you really just suddenly become on fire? How long has this been happening to you? Is there a history of bursting into flames in your family? I’m going to recommend that you take two lit cigarettes to bed and telegraph me in the morning.

Grab a box of tissues and a fire extinguisher and STAY WITH US — IT’S NOT YOUR TIME YET! Instead, it’s time for another episode of Superduperstitious!

It’s inexplicably deli time at Superdupersitious!

Wyatt and Jake take turns telling a bunch of random-ass cryptid tales, each one more chilling than the last. Did we say “chilling”? We meant “bonkers banana sandwich kookytown”. Learn all about a killer pancake; the completely logical thing you get when you combine an ape, dog, bear, lion, and rhinoceros; more bat stuff; and of course, the Grunch. Also bugs and a moat monster. And Shadowlands Roulette.

Get the best combo meal value you’ll ever find in a podcast, on this week’s episode of Superduperstitious!

Any strange story is fair game this week, so the boys tackle some slightly more famous freak occurrences.

Jake kicks it off with some obligatory updates on the bat problems of the midwest, followed by a decidedly offbeat creature encounter from that same region in the 1970s. Meet the Enfield Horror, a creature of improbable anatomy and ill temper that terrorized a tiny Illinois town for a few weeks before vanishing forever, unless it’s still lurking there to this day (it’s not), because it was totally real the whole time (it wasn’t). You can shoot it, but it will just come back and loiter in your yard.

Wyatt then takes us to Siberia at the turn of the 20th century, where a massive explosion leveled enormous swathes of forest and baffled scientists for decades to come. Was it a meteor that exploded before landing? Did real scientists actually suggest that it was a miniature black hole magically appearing? And did they really publish that theory in the most respected journal in the world?

Keep an eye out for three-leggèd footprints, and don’t show any fear or surprise in Russia: it’s Superduperstitious time!

A two-year record-iversary, a 60th episode, AND the launch of a Patreon? That’s cause for celebration! Ideally in the form of a single elimination bracket championship tournament between cults (obviously).

That’s right, this ep is devoted entirely to the NCAAA championship showdown between the World and Global Divisions’ top cults, each vying to reign supreme. Join Wyatt and Jake as they explore the backgrounds of these bizarre and fascinating religious movements and determine whether each group has what it takes to win (after being forced into a cursed simulator, to iteratively exist in constant conflict, living and dying again and again over the course of 10,000 years).

Fill out your brackets and prepare for Templar relics, diaereses, secret planets, and much, much more on this Very Special Episode™ of Superduperstitious!

Another year of podcasting means Jake and Wyatt are eager to get fully back on their bullshit. And back on their bullshit is exactly where they go this week.

Wyatt feeds his Sasquatch addiction with another trip Down Under, this time to look at the yowie of Australian lore. The eyewitnesses seem credible, the phylogeography has Jake more open minded, and you’d best believe everyone’s looking for that penis.

Next, Jake gets ghoulish once again, with a pair of related sightings posted to Reddit. While you refrain from calling anyone a copper nanotube, ponder this: what the goddamned hell was outside that window every night? And can we all agree to just put trail cameras everywhere at all times?

All this, plus a very important missive by a certain Fire Killer, on this episode of Superduperstitious!

What’s the point believing in spirits and such if it doesn’t involve those spirits being super scary and wanting to mess with us? Thankfully, that’s what demons are for — and what this ep is all about!

Jake attempts to break the mold a bit with a non-Christian take on these dark forces, paying a visit to an Algonquin reservation and its spooky run-in with a malevolent entity a few years ago. Call it a kokogi, call it a window-tapping jerk — just don’t expect it to wipe that smug grin off its face. And feel free to just lock it in your cabin I guess.

Wyatt then digs into the history, psychology, and prevalence of the positively marvelous phenomenon that is demonic possession. Not “marvelous” in the sense of “wonderful” — unless it’s “wonderful” in the sense of “astounding”. And definitely “astounding” in the sense of “incredible”, but not “incredible” in the sense of “awesome”, except if it's “awesome” in the sense of “marvelous”.

It’s a weird world out there, full of rocks and clouds that want to eat you. But you’ll be safe with us here on Superduperstitious!

Wyatt talks up the Bennington Triangle, a decidedly non-triangular region in Vermont known for some creepy disappearances, with likely ties to the Big Bad Wolf and some lethal hugs. Never leave your children unattended while your pigs are unfed.

Jake then reads another overwritten account of a kooky occurrence in Florida, but this time it involves a carnivorous pink mist floating around and eating everything. Nobody knows what really happened back then, but everyone will happily follow that assertion with an explanation of exactly what happened back then.

Venture into the unknown, identify some unidentified bones (they’re human), and perhaps finally solve the show’s longest running mystery (What is That Fog?), all on today’s episode!
