In this episode of The Strange South, co-hosts Patrice, Marleah, & Courtney dive into three fascinating stories about demonic possession and exorcism in the American South, inspired by the television show "Evil." The episode begins with the hosts enjoying a unique "posh parmatini" - a sophisticated cocktail featuring parmesan-infused vodka, courtesy of their friend Mary.The Archive of the Afterlife: A Skeptic's TaleThe first story centers around the Archive of the Afterlife Museum in Moundsville, West Virginia, where owner Steve Hummel houses various allegedly haunted objects. One particular item, a well-worn copy of Dr. Seuss's "The Foot Book," was claimed to be haunted after being connected to a quadruple homicide. However, when skeptical investigator Kenny Biddle looked into the case, he tracked down the book's original owner - a man named Kyle who had simply enjoyed the book as a child before his father sold it at a yard sale. While the book was indeed from near the location of a tragic murder, its direct connection to the crime was debunked.The Modern-Day Demon SlayerThe second story profiles Greg Locke, a controversial fundamentalist preacher from Mount Joliet, Tennessee, who has branded himself as a "demon slayer." Through his Global Vision Bible Church, Locke conducts mass "deliverances," claiming to cast out demons of everything from video games to lactose intolerance. His 2023 movie "Come Out in Jesus Name" grossed $2.5 million in just three days. The hosts discuss how his tent revival-style events, complete with sawdust floors and no air conditioning, create an environment where mass hysteria and spiritual experiences flourish.The Medical MysteryThe final and most compelling story follows Amy Stamatis, a med flight nurse in Little Rock, Arkansas, who experienced a sudden and inexplicable mental breakdown in 2006. After treating a burn victim, she began experiencing severe cognitive issues, hearing voices, and exhibiting erratic behavior. Despite numerous medical evaluations, no physical cause was found. The situation culminated in a tragic incident where she fell from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed. The story takes an unexpected turn when a Pentecostal evangelist named Cindy Lawson performed an exorcism in her hospital room, after which Stamatis reportedly returned to mental wellness, though she remained physically paralyzed.The hosts frame these stories through the lens of the three main characters from "Evil" - the scientist, the psychologist, and the priest - offering different perspectives on how such events might be interpreted through various lenses of understanding.The Strange South podcast continues to explore the unusual, unexplained, and unconventional stories of the American South, blending humor, skepticism, and open-minded curiosity in their storytelling approach.00:00 Introduction to The Strange South00:32 Casual Conversations and Catching Up01:40 The Posh Parmatini Recipe06:46 Book Discussion: Blackwater by Michael McDowell13:33 Exploring the Show 'Evil'17:13 Exorcisms and Southern Evangelicalism21:11 Story Time: Archive of the Afterlife Museum22:46 The Haunted Children's Book23:43 Investigating the Book's History24:27 Debunking the Haunted Book Myth28:50 The Serial Killer Sod Collection30:25 The Demon Slayer Preacher40:58 The Exorcism of Amy Stamatis49:36 Concluding Thoughts and Farewell

We also get geared up for CSI Con in Las Vegas, Oct. 24-27.

We have a surprise visit from Scooby fan Kenny Biddle, then speak with Mark Norman, folklorist and author of the upcoming "Zoinks!: The Spooky Folklore of Scooby Doo." The show is beloved by skeptics, and for good reason. But did you know the show owes its existence to a panic in the 1960s about violence in kids' shows? Between guest stars like the Harlem Globetrotters and Vincent Price, Scooby Doo also introduced kids to a wide array of cryptids, ghosts, witches and folkloric concepts like curses, mysterious mirrors, and of course haunted houses. The show itself has also become the subject of a few urban legends and modern myths, from Shaggy's alleged drug use to the characters representing Massachusetts colleges.

How good are Liz's protocols when getting a medium reading? Are they different than Kenny's? What are ways to detect cold-readings? Kenny shares some really entertaining "ghost hunts," and how to make sure you assess everything skeptically. Both Liz and Kenny like evidence, try to avoid belief, have the sense of humor of a twelve-year-old, and challenge how one another think, all of which makes this an especially fun episode. Kenny Biddle is the Chief Investigator for the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, skeptical investigator and has a column in the Skeptical Inquirer. Despite his skeptical take (more so than Liz), he has taught a class alongside Loyd Auerbach at The Rhine Education Center "Skeptical Approach to Parapsychology." He used to "believe it all," unskeptically, but after some absurd experiences, he changed his mind and learned how to logically evaluate. While he has concluded differently than Liz and Loyd, and has not concluded an afterlife (or PSI) in general is highly probable, he shares how to protect against fraudulent psychic mediums, how to detect cold-readings, and shares some of the most ridiculous frauds out there, such as $300 ghost-detectors. He has some really fun stories from the field of "ghost-hunting," and he and Liz actually do not disagree on techniques and most of the conclusions.

We begin with a look at the continuing danger of online rumors igniting mob violence and the Google engineer who is in the news for his belief that the AI in development there has reached sentience. Then we are joined by Susan Gerbic and Kenny Biddle, who ventured out to Vegas recently and joined Ben for a tour of Zak Bagans' Haunted Museum (but is it, really?). We discuss the "real paranormal" angle versus theatrical haunted house that this museum tries to straddle, and Kenny shares some details on artifacts like the Dybbuk box, which he likely devalued by solving the "mysteries" behind them. Later we are joined by a super secret special guest with a bit of insider info. We enjoyed the chat so much that this ended up our longest episode ever!

Staunton, Virginia has a rich history that goes back to 1738. But it's the paranormal aspect of the city's history that fascinates local ghost hunters like Marty Siebel, Curtis Lee Wimer, Dawn Biery, and others. The paranormal community in Staunton is tight, where everyone knows each other. Of course, this community is not without its controversies, some of which are explored in this episode, along with Staunton's most haunted places. Another kind of paranormal investigator, a science enthusiast named Kenny Biddle, voices his opinion on the legitimacy of what Shea experienced at Braley Pond, along with parapsychologist Brandon Massullo, author of The Ghost Studies, a book that answers the questions, “What are ghosts and what causes them?

We meet up with investigator and photographic ghost evidence enthusiast Kenny Biddle to discuss The Entity -- a 1982 horror movie in the tradition of the 1970s and 1980s "based on a true story" fare. Content warning, this episode discusses a real, confirmed sexual assault briefly in the opener and then a purported supernatural sexual assault as depicted in the film. The Entity has a number of angles that can be examined for lessons on how NOT to do a ghost investigation, and Ben and Kenny have a bit of a time picking through them.

Vicki V and Erick Bee welcome Kenny Biddle - science enthusiast, skeptic, critical thinker, blogger, lecturer, youtube channel host, and writer for the Skeptical Inquirer magazine. When and why did 'skeptical' become a dirty word?

Kenny Biddle, famous skeptic author, comes back to talk skepticism in the paranormal field with Erick Bee and Vicki V

Kenny Biddle, sometimes referred to as the Token Skeptic, is a science enthusiast who likes to take a closer look at claims involving paranormal experiences, the equipment people use to search strange things and the evidence presented for ghosts, UFOs, and cryptids. He promotes science, critical thinking, and skepticism through his blog “I Am Kenny Biddle,” his YouTube channel, and in-depth articles for Skeptical Inquirer magazine – A Closer Look. He frequently hosts workshops on how to deconstruct and explain the causes of paranormal photography/videos, as well methods to solve mysteries. Every Friday night, Kenny hosts The Skeptical Help Bar, a Q&A podcast where viewers can pour themselves a drink and ask paranormal related question in return for Kenny's skeptical opinion. He's also one of three co-hosts on another podcast, Three Tortured Souls, which gets into deeper conversations about paranormal topics. Kenny was recently awarded a Fellowship from the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry for his communication of science, critical thinking, and skepticism.

Our goal in covering the story of the Perron family's experience while living for a decade at the Arnold Estate, the inspiration for the motion picture, The Conjuring, was to uncover the real story behind the persistent hauntings. What we discovered once again was the actual truths at the heart of this, and other famous cases are as murky and nebulous as the spirits that do the haunting. The question that remains is, what is truth and what is real when it comes to supernatural activity? Skeptical researcher and writer Kenny Biddle investigated the historical people that the Perrons thought may have been the entities that lingered in their home. He found inconsistencies between the records of the lives and deaths of named locals and their claimed involvement with the farmhouse. But the attempt to cast doubt on the Perron story by focusing on historical inaccuracies is to go at the problem in an understandably linear, causal fashion, perhaps not one taken by a paranormal investigator. This leads us to the question, can the supernatural be analyzed with earthly rational thinking?  For example, does a person have to die in the same place that their ghost supposedly haunts (if one even believes in ghosts), or can they move about freely? Can spirits visit only some individuals or occupants, or would they have to haunt everyone in the same space equally? Can spirits identify as something they're not, or do they have to tell the truth about who or what they are? What are the rules for something so mysterious? While many of us would like to apply standard logic to understanding the numen world, those that have experienced it might tell you no ordinary rationale matters. Despite the "facts," what they have witnessed was real and true enough. Visit our website for a whole lot more information on this website, and seriously, we're talking a LOT more.

Hands up heathens: who likes a good ghost story? We obvs do! Spooky ghost stories really are a horror staple, and none is spookier than that of The Conjuring. This 2013 ghostly classic was a box office success, sparking off an entire franchise. In the 1970s, the Perron family moves into what they think is their dream home out in the country. Almost immediately weird stuff starts happening and stuff goes seriously awry. The film is based on one of Ed and Lorraine Warren's case files. But we're all about the horror behind the horror on this podcast, and explore what really went down on the Harrisville farmhouse. We recommend reading: House of Darkness, House of Light by Andrea Perron. Correcting the Conjuring House History by Kenny Biddle. And of course, you can stay at the conjuring house: https://www.frommers.com/blogs/passportable/blog_posts/you-can-now-stay-at-the-conjuring-house-if-you-dare

Ben, Celestia, and Pascual discuss the otherworldly monolith that's popped up in a remote part of Utah, and Ben shares another in his series of "used book mysteries," this one perfectly timed for the election. For our main segment, we have a lengthy discussion with newly minted CFI fellow (and just plain jolly good fellow) Kenny Biddle. Ben and Kenny bring up some of their investigative heroes, lay out some principles of skeptical investigation, and tell us why they have a passion for digging into cold-case mysteries. Good advice to be had for anyone who wants to sharpen their investigation tool set.

I'm Kenny Biddle and I'll be your Skeptical Bartender tonight. I take on your paranormal-related questions and in return, I offer my skeptical opinion...offering suggestions and ideas that may help improve your future investigations. This episode includes discussions about handling equipment, experimental controls, equipment for beginners, recommended books, and so much more.

Just these goofy guys have some fun . Conversation and out of this world nonsense.

After some discussion on the recent pandemic declaration and unprecedented social distancing most of us now face, special guest Kenny Biddle joins Ben and Celestia (remotely!) to look at some current missing person cases as they unfold in real time, and how psychics have "helped" (or interfered) in the progress of each case. This turned into a rather long study, so this part has cases brought by Celestia and Kenny, with some discussion of why checking and debunking this type of psychic activity necessarily falls to grassroots skeptical activists. Content warning: missing child cases, as well as psychic pronouncements on what happened to these victims, are discussed in detail.

"Spooky Southcoast" recorded live Saturday, January 11, 2020. We're joined in the first hour by researcher Kenny Biddle, who shares with us what he's found to be the true story of "The Conjuring" farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island, which is very different than the history that's been portrayed in the film and in the paranormal world. Then later in the show, we're joined by Amy Bruni and Adam Berry of "Kindred Spirits" to talk about their investigation there, as well as some of the other things we can expect from the new season.

We are joined by Kenny Biddle, our east coast paranormal investigator and skeptic, to discuss the darker side of ghost hunting. Not a demonic dark side, but rather real-world consequences. Things like trespassing dangers, costs to historical sites and organizations, loss of life and limb, and even the mangling of personal histories and reputations. Ben and Kenny both bring some examples from their previous investigations, and Kenny shares some background info he dug up on the reputed witch behind the Conjuring house hauntings, that staple of the Ed and Lorraine Warrenverse.

As skeptics go in the North East then this guy may sound familiar. Kenny Biddle, not known for empathy when he speaks but certainly will tell you the way it is when it comes to his belief and his research. Hes not a bad guy just passionate..Kenny has a piont actually a few..fact. a false statment would be Kenny is out to get anyone in the paranormal, he just wants to see the field start using real experiments and know the eqiupment they use. The belief in being a skeptic as a paranormal investigator gets over looked and more so knowing what we do, what tools we use and what they do..  Kenny gave us all something to think about and we certainly are gonna take the hint.. we hope more will follow!  

We open with Dr. Hans House, who schools us on infectious diseases, especially some little-known facets of ebola, measles and the flu.

The world of skeptical investigation is full of interesting personalities full of stories about their run-ins with ghost chasers, debunking charlatans, and dealing with "magic". Today on Point of Inquiry, Jim Underdown talks with Massimo Polidoro and Kenny Biddle while at CSICon 2018 about what they've been through as two of the top investigators in the skeptic movement. In this episode, Massimo speaks about the fascinating details around the life of genius, Leonardo da Vinci and about his new book, Leonardo. Jim and Massimo also speak about Massimo's training under James Randi to be a magician and about Sherlock Holme's creator, Arthur Conan Doyle and his fascination with the occult and spiritualism, specifically Conan Doyle's fascination with The Cottingley Fairies and Princess Mary's Gift Book.  Jim and Kenny speak about Kenny's work with Skeptical Inquirer, The Independent Investigations Group, and Kenny's previous life as a ghost chaser. Massimo Polidoro is a writer and an internationally recognized “mystery detective.” He began his career as James Randi’s apprentice and is the cofounder and head of the Italian skeptics group CICAP. He is a TV personality in Italy, a research fellow for CSI, and a longtime columnist for its magazine, the Skeptical Inquirer. He is starting a new series, “Stranger Stories”, on his YouTube channel.  You can find Massimo on twitter: twitter.com/massimopolidoro Kenny Biddle is a science enthusiast and skeptical investigator of paranormal claims.

First we hear from photographic mystery investigator Kenny Biddle, who reveals how he solved the souvenir photo mystery Ben shared back in episode 37. Then, for the second part of our New Year’s resolution series, we dive into diet myths. Ben brings some surprising statistics that go against common assumptions about how diet-obsessed Americans are. Rather than being hyper-aware of every pound, it turns out we often don’t notice weight gain (on ourselves or our children), and we rarely put much effort into losing it. Celestia reflects on how fat people, like cancer patients, are hit with a ton of “miracle” fat cures from well-meaning friends and acquaintances; and she does a deep-dive into her diet Coke and whether it actually makes people gain weight. 

We are joined by US investigator and blogger, Kenny Biddle for episode 14 in which we discuss ghosts caught on camera, ghosts throwing plates, a ghost monkey behaving badly, a celebrity ghost, a discussion about the Rutherglen poltergeist and more!
