Last week we brought you the people behind the park, but today we take a look into the science side of things: the ecology and geology of the Mammoth Cave system.

Learn about how the caves formed and the different critters that live inside of them.. and a few that lived in them millions of years ago.

Join us on a trip into some of the history of Mammoth Cave and the Kentucky cave wars. We learn about the history of cave tourism, the things cave entrepreneurs got up to and meet some of the forgotten figures that helped make the Mammoth Cave area what it is. But don't worry, there is still plenty of excitement, adventure, courtroom drama, competition and death. We can't forget death. So grab your head lamps and don't forget to tell someone where you are going....If you have a personal weird story or a topic suggestion please DM us on Instagram or Bluesky at whataboutweirdpod or send us an email at [email protected]

Deep in the forest of York county Pennsylvania lies Rehmeyer's Hollow, a place filled to the brim with folk magic and forgotten prayers. A kind, elderly man tends to his farm animals, unaware that there is a more sinister plot that will change Rehmeyer's Hollow forever, supposedly opening it up as a portal to hell.

We conclude our dive into the satanic panic by asking "won't someone please think of the children?!?!" At last we bring up the infamous book that started it all, Michelle Remembers. We take a quick detour to Canada to touch on a case from our northern neighbors before returning to the States for a story about a not so nice pre k that was accused of satanic cult activity. We round off this absolutely wild ride by discussing a police document about how to spot satanic activity and our thoughts on that satanic panic as a whole. If you have a topic suggestion or weird story please DM us on Instagram or Bluesky or send us an email at [email protected]
