We're back! Sorry it took so long, but y'know… life. Anyway, because we had a long break, we're considering this as the start of season 3 of Stories of Strangeness, and to start things off with a bang, we're doing an extra large episode consisting of a normal episode from Zoe, and an included minisode from Mike. In this episode, Zoe tells us about Gef, the talking mongoose, and Mike talks about Universe 25, the mouse utopia. So a bit of a rodent-y episode.

In this episode, Mike tells us about the only unsolved case of air piracy - the strange case of D. B. Cooper. Who was he? Did he survive his jump from the plane? Why did most of the money never turn up? We also talk about Sensing Murder, our new favourite New Zealand based paranomal true crime show, where psychics try to solve cold cases, and we follow up on last episode's listener story from Chris, who got back in touch with some answers to questions we posed in the episode.

In this episode, Mike tells us about Die Glocke, a mysterious Nazi super weapon, or advanced transport, or nuclear reactor, or… well, no one was really sure about what it was – or did. We also talk about a UFO crash in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, why Zoe doesn't like lumpy porridge, and how vibrating sand makes her fall on her bum. Don't worry, this all makes slightly more sense in the episode. Slightly.

Firstly, a couple of apologies: This episode was rather late in airing due to life stuff getting in the way. Sorry about that. Secondly, you can hear a lot of our upstairs neighbours thumping around in this episode. Due to shift work, they have no set schedule so we can never tell when it's going to be quiet. We thought it would be when we recorded, but boy were we wrong. Hopefully it doesn't bother you too much, because it makes me want to bite through lead piping, let me tell you. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it. (Seethes.) In this episode, Zoe tells us the strange story of the Bell Witch, a disembodied spirit that plagued an American family in the 19th century, eventually killing the patriarch of the family - leading to the first recording of 'death by spirit' in US history. We also talk about turning people inside out, the psychological principle of anchoring, and Bigfoot's extra-dimensional, time travelling menagerie.

And we're back! In this episode, Zoe tells us the strange story of the Enfield Poltergeist, one of the most famous hauntings in England. Listen as Zoe tells us about the family who were inundated with spooky goings-on, including strange knocking, levitation and weird voices emanating from one of the girls. We also discuss how shooting people from canons is a lost art form, sleeping through hurricanes, and nice demons that like composting - so pretty much back to (ab)normal!

In this episode, Mike tells us about the strange story of Polybius, a videogame reported to be an experiment in mind control. Players experienced effects like hallucinations, memory loss, nausea and seizures. But who made it, and why? We also talk about how the world wide web is like someone posting you a jigsaw, crows that honk like cars, and teenagers creating hums to deter boomers.

In this episode, Mike tells us about the strange story of the Somerton Man, who died mysteriously on a beach in Adelaide, Australia in 1948. Was he a spy? A black market trader? Was his death a suicide? A murder? Listen in to find out more. We also talk about ear anatomy, Zoe's inability to sink in water, petitioning heaven for answers, and time travel via the Terminator and Futurama. You know, usual stuff. Also, an apology: We've been having an ongoing issue with mic bleed, where you can hear one host on the other's mic. We tried a slightly different setup to see if we can block it out better, but actually it made things worse and there's some echo on both of us this episode. Sorry about that, we'll try something different next time, or just revert to our previous setup.
