Travel Oddities

Dean and Sam Winchester got nothin’ on Brett and Harley. On tonight’s Supernatural episode, we drive down the Devil’s road to find an “honest to goodness” gate to Hell. In the tiny, unincorporated town of Stull KS, lies a 150 year old cemetery that is one of the seven gates to Hell…or so the legends say. We dig into the history of the Stull Cemetery, and the Evangelical Emmanuel Church. What evil lives in this out of the way location? Did the townspeople really burn witches in the cemetery? Does the Devil come to town every Halloween, and did he have a werewolf baby with a local witch? How do you gain access to Hell? Is this place still cursed? Does the Devil leave the key to the Gateway to Hell under the welcome mat?

Technically Bear Butte is not a butte or a butt, it is rather a small mountain that stands just east of the Black Hills. It’s both a state park and a holy site for many Plains Indian tribes, including the Lakota and the Cheyenne.

Brett and Harley go in search of visions on this mystical episode. Tonight, we discuss the religious and spiritual aspects of Bear Butte just outside of Sturgis SD. What do you need to go on a vision quest? Are sweat lodges just for large men in bath houses? What offerings should you bring on your pilgrimage? Who is Brett’s Peyote dealer? We will attempt to answer all of these questions.

In the news, we cover the Men in Black….not the Will Smith version and not the other ones.

We answer the question that is on everyone’s mind….Where is Eric?

We announce our new segment!

Finally, we cover Sturgis, SD and the motorcycle potluck dinner!

33 is a magic number… On the 33rd episode of the Travel Oddities Podcast, Brett and Harley had to break out Google maps to find the Cursed Pyramid Lake of Reno Nevada.

This legend has it all. The story starts with the Paiute Tribe, then we added in some evil settlers, a mermaid, some devil babies, a serpent, a curse and some pyramids just for fun.

Is the curse real?

Is the Pope an Atheist?

Where have Brett and Harley hidden Eric’s body?…hint there is water involved.

Is Bad Mother Trucker allowed to drunk dial?

Are there aliens involved at all?….nope, sorry.

Holy places of the Lourds, Batman! On today’s episode Brett and Harley take a pilgrimage to Chimayo New Mexico, to have their heels healed…not really. We will be giving you the dirt on El Santuario de Chimayo.

According to the masses, but not validated by the Pope, this church has the ability to heal the sick, mend the lame and help the blind to see again. There will be mystical crosses and blessed dirt for everyone.

We also discuss the Tewa Tribal legend that predates this church. It would be a sin to skip this episode, as we resurrect another hidden treasure of the Odd.

Bobby Brown makes our news segment, and it has nothing to do with Browntown.

Don’t crucify Eric, as he is currently on a vision quest and will hopefully have found his spirit animal before next weeks show.

Put on your wading boots because Brett, Eric and Harley are taking you on a trip to Browntown. Today we are discussing the legend that is the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp in Browntown SC.

Is this cryptid really terrorizing people in the swamps around Johnsonville SC?

Tall tales often involve a big fish, but this mystery is all reptile.

Can anybody get through this show without pointing out the names of these towns?

Is Brett going to wait until the skeptics section to call bs?

Was BMT abducted by aliens?

Put on your hard hat and strap on your work boots as Brett, Harley and Eric discuss the haunted Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, Alabama.

The furnaces have been a ghost hotbed in the area, with residents believing that the tortured spirits of factory workers that lost their lives while working there still roam the halls. The furnace opened in 1882 and reports of apparitions started as soon as 1887.

Now, the furnaces are a national landmark, museum and concert venue, and paranormal activity from the site are still being reported today. It’s getting hot in this haunted factory. Is this where the final scene of T2 took place? I want to believe.

Take a walk down a dark country road with Harley and Brett as they investigate the legend of the Melon Heads of Saugatuck MI. This cryptid is so grotesque that Eric literally got sick and had to go home. These creatures are said to be three to four feet tall cannibals that live in the forest in and around Saugatuck. Just imagine if an Oompa Loompa and the Toxic Avenger had a baby, and that baby had a baby with those creepy “hills have eyes” people…..then you would end up with one of these freaks.

Are these creatures the result of a mad scientist or are they mutants that didn’t get a scholarship into Professor Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters? Is Saugatuck where the Dover Demon retired with his wife and kids? Are these little ankle biters the product of local lore and legend or are they really terrorizing this small Michigan town?
