The Some Weird Podcast

EXTRA WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR ANYONE UNDER 18

We at The Some Weird Podcast are animal lovers so it was inevitable that we would do an episode dedicated to weird animal stories. We start with a good old conspiracy theory and a couple of stories of parrots who helped solve murders. Then things get real weird when we delve into the world of a secret dolphin experiment where one researcher took her work a little too personally. Hold on to your horses because this one is a doozy!

Do you ever wish you could change the weather? Why does it rain on the weekend when you want to go to the beach or for a hike but then the sun shines bright on Monday morning just in time to go back to school or work? Unfortunately, Mother Nature cares very little for your weekend plans. But did you know that there is a conspiracy theory that says HAARP can manipulate weather? That one is dubious at best. But consider the case of Charlie Hatfield the Rainmaker. His story seems to show that at least one person was able to conjure rain through science…maybe a little too good.

The Some Weird Podcast does not have a new episode this week because we were affected by COVID. Fortunately, we are able to present a remastered version of our very first episode: The Bell Island Boom. We have been able to polish the audio and edit the story to be more aligned with our current episode style. We will be back in 2 weeks with a brand new episode.

In this episode we ponder what could have caused a mysterious BOOM over the Bell Island in April of 1978. Was it natural? Was man-made? Was it a heavenly bowling tournament? Who tried to figure it out and what do the experts think? How can Barry weave wrestling into the conversation? All these questions and more are explored in “The Bell Island Boom”.

Do you think psychic powers are real? Or are they just fun parlor tricks meant for entertainment? In this episode, we tell the story about a man named Peter Hurkos who claimed to have psychic abilities and who consulted on various criminal cases including that of the Boston Strangler. Then we flip it 180 degrees to talk about the Amazing Randi; a man who claimed to be a charlatan and a liar and who set out to debunk these so-called psychics.

Talk about pop music? Don’t mind if we do! Did you know that perennial party song ‘Louie Louie’ was investigated by the FBI for possible obscene lyrics? Or that the 80s power ballad ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ was originally meant to be a vampire love song? The stories behind these two mega hits are some weird. We also welcome Alan from the Super Hits podcast to lend his expertise concerning all things pop music related. Check him out on all the socials @SuperHitsCast

The Jersey Devil and Murder at the Devil's Teeth

We are finally bringing you weird stories from New Jersey. Do you know why the NHL team is called the Devils? The people of the Garden State voted on this name as homage to their very own Pine Barrens dwelling chimera: the Jersey Devil. What are its origins and is it still roaming around to this day? It’s really weird! Then, we travel back in time to the Satanic Panic of the 1970s and the unsolved possible murder of a 16 year old girl who some people think was a cult sacrifice.

Ever hold a deep, dark secret? Do you think you will have something to confess on your deathbed? In this episode we tell the story of a Cleveland bank robber who kept his secret for over 40 years only to confess to his astonished wife and daughter just before dying and the story from the Wild West of a man who confessed to murdering an acquaintance for mispronouncing “Newfoundland”. We also have a special guest! Ted, one of the cohosts of the Narbos and Broomheads podcast and ½ of Ted & Barry’s Social Distancing Trivia, presented us with a series of short deathbed confession stories. Some were true and some he totally made up. Did he trick Crissy and Barry? How well will you do with your guesses?

One of the horrible truths of our world is that every day, people go missing. It’s heart-wrenching to the loved ones and many times, the missing are never found. But in some miraculous cases the missing are returned. In most of these scenarios, this is the best thing that could possibly happen. But in some cases, there are often more questions than answers. Sometimes when we look deeper, the cases are just weirder. In this episode we are going to present the case of Bobby Dunbar and the case of Danny Filippidis. What on Earth happened when they were missing? All I can guarantee is it was some weird.
