In this chilling episode of Believing the Bizarre, we dive into two haunting tales that'll make you question what lurks in the shadows.First, we explore Kay's family home in Pennsylvania, where for thirteen years they endured relentless paranormal activity.From mysterious voices calling out from empty rooms to unexplained tugging at feet and hands, this suburban house seemed determined to make its presence known.The most unsettling revelation? Those voices Kaye heard calling her name may not have been coming from downstairs at all, but from something much closer to home.Our second story takes a dramatically darker turn with Anthony's submission about his paranormal investigation group, the Midnight Men.What started as a simple case to help an old friend spiraled into something far more sinister than anyone could have imagined.When a seasoned medium abruptly cut all ties after meeting the affected family, it should have been a red flag.Instead, Anthony and his team pressed forward, only to discover that some entities don't wait for you to visit them – they come to you first. This tragic tale serves as a sobering reminder that in the world of paranormal investigation, there are forces that even the most experienced shouldn't dare to challenge.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

Cursed Games and Rituals: Part 5This week, we explore three eerie cursed games that blur the line between ritual and entertainment.We first discuss the Binoculars Game (also known as Eye Spy), where participants must secure a friend with rope while searching for a mysterious approaching figure through windows.Next, we delve into Cat Scratch, a seemingly innocent party game where one person lies with their head in another's lap while hearing a creepy story, potentially resulting in unexplained scratch marks appearing on their back.We also discuss the Witch's Window ritual, which involves setting up a mirror with candles and salt to communicate with spirits from the beyond. This particular game requires specific safety precautions to ensure you're only creating a "window" rather than a "door" for entities to pass through.As with all our cursed games episodes, we emphasize that while these rituals might seem far-fetched, we don't endorse trying them yourself - the line between skepticism and genuine paranormal experience often blurs when you're sitting alone in the dark, following strange instructions that might invite something unexpected into your world.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

The Japanese Teke Teke and 8 Foot Tall WomanIn this episode, we explore two fascinating Japanese Yokai legends: the Teke Teke and the Hachishakusama (Eight-Foot-Tall Woman).The Teke Teke is the vengeful spirit of a schoolgirl who was bullied, fell onto train tracks, and was cut in half by a train. Now she drags her torso around with her spine exposed, making a distinctive "teke teke" sound with her claw-like fingers, asking victims where her legs are.Only a specific answer will save you from being torn apart.We also discuss the frightening Hachishakusama, an eight-foot-tall woman in white who haunts children, making a deep "po po po" sound before taking them away forever. Unlike many other Yokai, she's not bound to a specific location, making her particularly dangerous.We share a detailed encounter story that illustrates the elaborate protective measures Japanese families might take to shield children who have been "liked" by this entity, including the use of religious artifacts and specific rituals to confuse and evade her.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

The House that Belonged to HimIn this episode of Believing the Bizarre, we explore two chilling listener encounters centered around haunted homes. The first story comes from a listener named Ghost in Canada, who experienced strange knocking on their window while studying late at night, followed by hearing their name called in a distorted, underwater-like voice that mimicked their mother.The second tale from an anonymous submitter (aja "Sofia," iykyk) in West Georgia involves a couple who purchased a charming 1939 farmhouse where they constantly felt watched. Their experiences escalated from feeling a weight on an air mattress during illness to lights turning on and off mysteriously, culminating in an intruder being spotted outside - potentially after the protective spirit alerted them to danger.We discuss potential explanations for both encounters, from the possibility of mimics or doppelgangers in Ghost's case to the likelihood of a benevolent protective spirit in the Georgia farmhouse.Get 50% off Magic Mind here with our link and code: https://magicmind.com/bizzareEDU & BIZZARE50#magicmind #mentalperformancePatreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

In our latest episode of Believe in the Bizarre, we dive into the fascinating alien abduction case of Betty Andreasson from 1967.Betty, a devout Christian mother of seven whose husband was hospitalized after an accident, experienced strange phenomena in her South Ashburnham, Massachusetts home when pink pulsating lights appeared outside her kitchen window. What started as flickering lights and strange silhouettes led to a blackout, with Betty's conscious memories ending there.The majority of our discussion explores the extraordinary details revealed a decade later through hypnotic regression sessions conducted in the mid-1970s, where Betty recalled encounters with gray entities led by one named "Quazga" and a journey that took her far beyond her home.Throughout our conversation, we debate whether these entities had benevolent intentions or something more mysterious, comparing elements of Betty's experience to other abduction cases like the Betty and Barney Hill incident.The level of detail in Betty's regression testimony is remarkable - from physical examinations aboard a craft to visits to strange environments with unique creatures. 100% credit goes to the book: The Andreasson Affair: The Documented Investigation of a Woman's Abduction Aboard a Ufo.

This week, we dive into three chilling listener-submitted ghost stories.First, we explore an anonymous account from a Nigerian boarding school where students experienced mysterious disturbances - from violently shaking beds to objects moving on their own - that multiple witnesses confirmed.Next, we discuss Thomas's experiences in his inherited trailer home, where he encountered everything from ghostly visitors and flying clothes to a menacing shadow figure that created an overwhelming sense of danger. The property's location on the Trail of Tears and above a well creates the perfect conditions for paranormal activity.We also share Sam's lifelong encounters with a terrifying entity known as "the smiling man" - a shadow figure that followed them across multiple states and homes over many years. What makes Sam's story particularly compelling is that both their brother and partner independently witnessed this entity, adding credibility to the account.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

Champ the Lake Champlain MonsterThis week we dive into the legend of Champ, the Lake Champlain Monster, exploring over 300 reported sightings dating back to 1609 when Samuel de Champlain claimed to witness a 20-foot serpent-like creature.We chronicle key evidence including Sandra Mansi's famous 1977 photograph, sonar readings capturing unusual shapes, and alleged echolocation recordings from cryptozoologist Katy Elizabeth.Throughout the episode, we discuss theories about whether Champ could be a prehistoric survivor like a plesiosaur or tanystropheus, citing Lake Champlain's substantial depth of 400 feet as a potential habitat. We also look at alternative explanations for the Lake Champlain cryptid, including large sturgeon (which can reach 27 feet), groups of otters swimming in formation creating a serpentine illusion, or partially submerged logs moved by underwater currents called seiches.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

This month, we interviewed with paranormal enthusiasts and podcasters Mr. E and Jay Clone from the "Cryptids of the Corn" podcast.We discuss their background, with Mister E having worked as a fisheries biologist and Jay Clone being a bartender, explaining how they met when Mister E asked J Clone if he believed in Bigfoot.They share personal paranormal encounters, including Jay Clone's experiences with unexplained events in his bedroom and a mysterious white creature he spotted on a country road, while Mr. E mentions Bigfoot sightings and UFO experiences.The pair discuss their approach to blending science with paranormal investigations, with Mr. E explaining that many paranormal phenomena are simply not yet understood by science, comparing it to how radiation was once considered supernatural before being scientifically explained. They also talk about their Ohio Bigfoot Jamboree event, which drew around 3,000 attendees from multiple countries in its first year, and their plans to expand it.Click here to check out Cryptids of the Corn Podcast:Interested in Mr. E's book, Living UFOs: The Ocean Above Our Head?

2025 Plane Crash ConspiraciesIn this episode, we discuss a series of plane crashes that occurred in early 2025, examining potential conspiracy theories surrounding these incidents. We analyze five fatal crashes that happened within weeks of each other, including a military helicopter collision with a commercial plane in Washington DC, a medical evacuation jet crash in Philadelphia, and several other aviation incidents across the United States.Charlie presents a timeline of these events while questioning whether these crashes represent random accidents or something more orchestrated. Throughout our discussion, we explore three main conspiracy theories: that the crashes serve as a distraction from other major events, that they represent targeted silencing of specific individuals, or that they're part of a fear-mongering campaign to discourage travel.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

It is Extraterrestrial Encounters time!This week, we have four compelling UFO sighting accounts across North America and Egypt, where witnesses encountered unexplained aerial phenomena that defied conventional explanation.In Alberta, Gracie and her family observed a bright red unidentified object moving toward their vehicle during a stargazing trip; in Arizona, Bridget experienced missing time and strange lights surrounding her car; in Cairo, a family witnessed three flying saucers forming a triangle constellation before mysteriously vanishing; and in rural Florida, Taylor spotted an unusually bright star-like UFO that disappeared without explanation, accompanied by the distinct feeling of being watched.Each alien sighting presents compelling UFO evidence through detailed first-hand accounts, from the strange lights in the sky that prompted Gracie's family to flee, to Bridget's missing phone call and lost time, to the Egyptian family's collective silence after their alien spacecraft encounter, and finally to Taylor's bewilderment at the vanishing star-like object.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

Spring-Heeled Jack and the Gorbals VampireThis week, we explore two British urban legends: the Gorbals Vampire and Spring-heeled Jack.In 1954 Glasgow, hundreds of children armed with knives and homemade weapons descended on the Southern Necropolis cemetery hunting a supernatural entity with iron teeth that allegedly killed two local boys.Meanwhile, in Victorian London, Spring-heeled Jack terrorized citizens from 1837 to 1904, described as a well-dressed gentleman with glowing eyes who could make impossible leaps, breathe blue and white fire, and attack victims with metallic claws.Both cases sparked significant paranormal panic and were documented in the Victorian press.We debate whether these incidents represent historical mass hysteria or genuine supernatural encounters with entities from British folklore. In addition, we examine how Scottish urban myths, Victorian era monsters, and paranormal history might explain the phenomena, while considering how both stories reflect societal fears of their time.Or is it possible that Spring-heeled Jack might have been a demonic figure or one of the mysterious jumping entities from British supernatural folklore? Could the Gorbals incident represent children's folklore and cemetery legends manifesting during a period of societal tension?Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

The Skunk ApeDeep in the swamps and forests of the southeastern United States lurks the legendary florida cryptid known as the Skunk Ape, a close cousin to the more famous sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest.Standing between 5 and 8 feet tall and weighing over 300 pounds, this florida bigfoot has earned its distinctive name from the powerful sulfuric odor it reportedly emits. Historical sightings of this swamp creature date back to 1818, with Native American Seminole tribes referring to it as the Esti Capcaki, or "Hairy Giant," believing it to be the mystical protector of the woods.From the mysterious Myakka skunk ape photographs of 2000 to the numerous documented encounters in the Everglades, this southern bigfoot continues to captivate researchers and witnesses alike. The everglades monster has been the subject of multiple credible sightings by law enforcement officers, fire chiefs, and everyday citizens, with reports describing a massive, hair-covered humanoid that moves with surprising agility through the dense Florida wilderness.The creature's most distinguishing characteristics, beyond its imposing size and reddish-brown fur, are its distinctive four-toed footprints and that unforgettable stench that often announces its presence before it's even seen.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

Standing 7-8 feet tall with reddish-brown fur and weighing over 300 pounds, this bipedal creature is often considered the southeastern United States' answer to the Pacific Northwest's Bigfoot. Historical records date back to 1818, including Native American Seminole tribes who called it "Esti Capcaki" (the Furry Tall Man) and believed it to be a mystical protector of the forests. Notable sightings have been documented by law enforcement officers, fire chiefs, and countless civilians, with significant clusters of activity in the Everglades, Ocala National Forest, and various swamplands throughout Florida. David Shealy, a prominent Skunk Ape researcher, has dedicated his life to studying the creature and operates the Skunk Ape Headquarters, housing photographs, footprint casts, and research materials. The creature is known for its distinctive characteristics, including four-toed footprints, long arms that hang past its knees, and an ability to move swiftly through dense swamp terrain despite its size. While skeptics suggest it might be misidentified black bears with mange or elaborate hoaxes, continued sightings by credible witnesses and consistent physical descriptions across decades have maintained the Skunk Ape's status as one of America's most intriguing cryptozoological mysteries.

It's listener submission time and we have four strange stories for you this week!Nicole's Story: Greg, who died in a motorcycle accident, appeared to check on his baby son after death, and years later the child inexplicably described the exact way his father had died. Nicole also experienced a vivid vision where she found herself wearing moccasins in a snowy mountain landscape while crossing a summer street, suggesting a possible past life connection.Adrian's Parents' Story: Adrian's parents independently received accurate predictions about their future children from Ouija boards, and later shared an identical dream about meeting at a specific location. His father also survived a seemingly unsurvivable parachuting accident right when his grandmother had a premonition and called his mother to pray.Sofia's Story: Sofia experienced recurring encounters with dark figures in her hallway and other paranormal activity in her childhood home, which her mother attempted to combat by putting olive oil handprints on the walls as protection. The haunting followed her to new locations, including a black figure that waits outside her salon, which her mother (who dabbled in witchcraft while pregnant) can see.Molly's Story: Molly had an intensely vivid dream about a horrific gas chamber scenario in a concentration camp that left her with physical sensations upon waking. She also had a dream about being in a city under aerial attack two weeks before the Ukraine conflict began, and woke up with a bruise where she was struck by debris in the dream.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

Hat Man Stories: Volume 1It's listener submission time and we have a handful of encounters with the legendary and spooky Hat man.As a reminder, the Hat Man is a tall, looming shadow figure that lurks around and is often seen with a wide brim hat and a cloak. He is often associated with sleep paralysis and many associated feelings of dread with him.We have 4 listener submitted encounters with this infamous shadow figure.Story 1 - Peeps: During two consecutive nights of sleep paralysis, a Peeps encounters a towering shadow figure in a hat who moves like liquid through the crack of their bedroom door. What starts as an unsettling observation turns into a terrifying close encounter, leading to an unexpected revelation from their brother.Story 2 - Sophia: Growing up in a significantly haunted house, a young girl spends nearly a decade being stalked by a dark figure in a fedora and cloak, forcing her to abandon sleeping in her own bedroom. The entity's presence becomes so oppressive that it takes a friend's shocking confirmation and one final, brave confrontation to change everything. Story 3 - Torie: A two-year-old who mysteriously waved at empty corners grows into a child who sees a mysterious figure in a fedora throughout multiple homes, leading to increasingly disturbing encounters. After years of accepting the hat-wearing entity's presence, a sleepover with a skeptical friend results in an incident that forces everyone to acknowledge something unexplainable is happening.Story 4 - Morgan: After getting a new loft bed, a teen begins experiencing nightly visits from a tall figure in a top hat who mysteriously unlocks their bedroom door. The story takes an unsettling turn when a friend who's never been upstairs in their house has a supernatural experience that reveals there might be more to these visitations than simple nighttime encounters.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?
