Unusual Universe

Happy Halloween! Come dive into a history lesson with us as Sam discusses the ghost stories of Deadwood and Mercedes stresses out over the folklore of changelings. Our History is Rich . . . with murder and mayhem.

Sam had her baby! We're taking a needed momma break as Sam spends time with her little and Mercedes gets ready for hers to arrive. Enjoy one more halloween episode and keep following us on social to see when we're ready to come back. Thank you all for your support!

Don't think it don't say it, you know the forbidden thoughts that can call upon or even turn you into a Wendigo. Or the haunting last words of Lavinia Fisher, the ghost who still wonders the halls of the old Charleston Jail. This Unusual Universe sure is pregnant... With Mystery...

We're baaaack! Thank you for hanging in there while we took a short break due to, well, let's not get into that... but we're happy to be back with some special guests. Together we will read stories that will make us question what we know about angels, time travelers, and the hat man... 

In this week's episode we travel to hell... metaphorically... mostly. We talk about Hell Hounds who can light aflame, or kill a man with one touch. Then we talk about the Hat Man. Just a rando shadow figure? Or is he the Devil? One thing is for sure, hell uses hounds to collect their souls, and the hat man? Well, he's a pimp!

On this week's episode, we are joined by two guests as Sam tells some freaky stories about kids saying the darndest things and Mercedes talks about skinwalkers. These days it seems like everyone is out to Plot and Harm!

So here's the thing... You're going to die in the dessert. Probably. Maybe. I mean, that is if Slenderman doesn't get to you first. And if you do somehow escape Slenderman and his attraction, you may end up in the hands of a sandman. Not the Sandman, but a wild ape man who lives in Cali. 'Cause you can find anything in Cali. Except feathered apes. Cause these monkeys don't have feathers. Join Sam & Mercedes for another Unusual episode!

Don't sleep. Don't even close your eyes for a second and risk falling asleep. Because what if you had a terrible nightmare? One you never woke up from? In this episode, Sam and Mercedes discuss the true events that inspired Nightmare on Elm Street, giant sloths with grotesque smelling stomach mouths, and the fact that no matter what you do, she gonna ride ya. 

If you want to be a growing kelpie you probably shouldn't eat wire fencing. You should listen to your parents when they tell you to eat your entrails, and not have rage fits. Come devour this episode in its entirety as Sam and Mercedes talk werewolves, werewolf sharks, kelpies, kelpie sharks, and Ted Bundy.

You might have the feeling to throw up and die like Mercedes did as her and Sam talk about omens. Whether it's the mothman, or a rat king, bad omens are everywhere...like the plague. 

Sam and Mercedes surprise each other with their topics. They go over ghosts, monsters, the devil in a hood... They ponder questions such as: Is the Mothman a goblin? Are gremlins goblins? Are possums goblins? Wait... ANOTHER possum?! Well, they are unusual after all. So join us as we dive into another episode of unusual universe.

Mercedes & Sam are ringing in the year with Unusual Universe's first ever minisode, that turned out to be not so mini... Join us as we read stories sent to us by other listeners. We'll explore gremlins who like to comb your hair, strange lights, strange calls, Ouija boards, and the scariest of all... a possum from the past.

You Better Watch Out and be on your best behavior, you never know what kind of winter creatures may come for you... Join us as we discuss the mountain dwelling creatures such as the Yeti, Grýla the Christmas witch, and the rest of Grýla's yule family.

We are Millennials discussing the curse of the Wizard of Oz, deadly conga lines, melting witches and cackling dolls, exploding rings, and more hauntings of the Rolling Hills Asylum. 

You Done Married a Hag...If your wife leaves in the middle of the night and comes back all hot and sweaty, maybe she's a Boo Hag. Is that so bad though? Join Mercedes and Sam as they chat about skinless hags and dwarf, demonic bats. This episode deal with themes of violence and sexual assault. Listener discretion is advised.

Let's decay together... while sitting around a campfire telling ghost stories. At least, that's the feel we get from episode 3 as the P.I.O.T. Paranormal Investigators join Mercedes & Sam as they discuss weird shadow figures, doppelgangers, and we debunk animals in sneakers. So come and take a seat by the fire.

You're gonna be blown...away when Sam tells a story of how using a black mirror went wrong. Mercedes tries to resist pulling out her eyebrows in stress as they discuss black mirrors, closets as portals to the other realm, and the great alien invasion vs zombie apocalypse debate.

In the first episode of Unusual Universe, Sam talks about her experience with angels and what their purpose is and compares it to Supernatural. Mercedes talks about the time she saw the grim reaper and discusses their origins. Together they determine, this is real life...whatever that means.

Mercedes and Sam introduce themselves and answer the important questions like: What are we going to talk about? How can listeners connect with us? Where will the podcast be available? When Does the first episode air?
