⁠Tickets to The Live Shows Here! The Inbox of Oddities #049: “The Tooth Collector of Apartment 3B”

See The Box Of Oddities Live! In this delightfully peculiar episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro explore two phenomena that are equal parts baffling and brilliant. First, the "Angels of Mons"—were they divine warriors, hallucinations, or just an epic case of wartime wishful thinking? Either way, something peculiar happened over those World War I trenches. Then: behold the annual crustacean apocalypse of Christmas Island, where millions of bright red crabs migrate en masse, overrunning roads, homes, and possibly your nightmares. It's nature's strangest traffic jam—and no one knows why they're doing it. Expect ghosts, crustaceans, and confusion in equal measure. Prepare to question everything. Even your seafood preferences.

Tickets to The Live Shows Here! In this episode of The Box of Oddities, we chip away at the icy mystery of Marcelin and Francine Dumoulin, a Swiss couple who vanished into thin air—only to reappear 75 years later like a very slow RSVP. Then, we time-travel to 18th-century Russia for the hilariously tragic reign of Peter III, a czar whose six-month stint makes your worst temp job look like a lifetime achievement. And finally, we tiptoe through Devon, England, where the Devil apparently went on a midnight jog in 1855—leaving behind some truly unsettling hoofprints that no one's explained since. Get ready for frozen revelations, royal ridiculousness, and paranormal podiatry. It's weird, it's wild, it's everything you listen to The Box of Oddities for.

Live Show Tickets Here INBOX OF ODDITIES: - “The Ghost in the Toothbrush Cup” In this kaleidoscopic journey through the wonderfully weird, Kat and Jethro crack open the mailbag and unleash a cavalcade of listener tales that range from hilariously haunted to just plain chewy. A lazy terrier named Morris becomes an anti-hero during a rodent emergency, a haunted hearing aid refuses to let the afterlife be silent, and a fridge appears to be starting its own pickle-based cult. Also: a ghostly Bluetooth grandma, a time-slip at the DMV, a soup deity with a raccoon entourage, and a cat who might be a reincarnated Gregorian monk. Throw in a spectral rainbow telegram from Mom, a jingle-induced fugue state, and a faceless imaginary friend shared across state lines, and you've got yourself an Inbox episode bursting at the seams with deliciously odd correspondence from The Box of Oddities Freak Family. Do ghosts use Bluetooth? Did Grandma become a banshee? Is your fridge whispering secrets about Greg? Listen in and find out. You might just have a Boo Effect of your own.

Fall Tour 2025 Tickets Here! Imagine controlling tech with your mind and watching a Viking ship burst through a flaming amphitheater — no, you're not dreaming. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro plug into the brain-bending world of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), where thought alone can type, move, and maybe even speak. It's sci-fi made science — Elon wishes. Then, pack your imaginary passport for Puy du Fou. This French amusement park throws out roller coasters in favor of full-blown historical epics with live battles, wolves, and more costume changes than a Vegas revue. Think Renaissance Faire meets Michael Bay. From the cutting edge of neuroscience to the theatrical fever dream of medieval France, it's a wild ride through human ingenuity, spectacle, and delightful weirdness. Plug in your brain, suspend your disbelief, and prepare to say, “Wait... that's real?” #WeirdIsWonderful #BCI #PuyDuFou #OdditiesUnleashed #BrainTech #StrangeHistory #PodcastRecommendations #BoxOfOddities 1 Learn more about your ad choices.

LIVE SHOW TICKETS HERE! Was Herophilus a medical pioneer… or Alexandria's most ambitious serial dissector? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro peel back the skin of history to examine the controversial legacy of Herophilus, the so-called “father of anatomy,” who may have blurred the line between science and something far more disturbing. Then: meet Vaughn Meader, the fastest-rising comedian of the 1960s—whose uncanny JFK impression made him a star… until one world-shaking moment erased him from fame almost overnight. From ancient scalpels to presidential satire, this episode explores the bizarre crossroads of history, medicine, and fame. Perfect for fans of weird true stories, dark humor, and those who like their trivia with a side of “what the actual heck?” Listen now—because the past is stranger than fiction. #StrangeHistory #WeirdFacts #Herophilus #VaughnMeader #DarkHumor #PodcastRecommendations #BoxOfOddities Learn more about your ad choices.

LIVE SHOW TICKETS HERE! New dates being added! EPISODE REWIND: Step into the creaky time machine as we dig up some gloriously odd gems from the archive: The Great Horse Manure Crisis of the 1800s — When cities were drowning in poop, and people feared equine waste would bring about the downfall of civilization. Spoiler: It didn't. But it was a real pile of trouble. The Bretzius House of Horrors — During what was supposed to be a charming home renovation, the Bretzius family unearthed mummified cats, twisted occult artifacts, and one big reason to just rent. Was it witchcraft, folk magic, or just an extreme case of DIY gone wrong? Bachelor's Grove Cemetery — One of the most haunted graveyards in America, where phantom farmers plow ghostly fields, glowing orbs float like confused fireflies, and spectral cars drive absolutely nowhere. These stories are so strange, you'll think we made them up. We didn't. History just has a weird sense of humor.

Get your live show Tickets and details HERE! Step into a timeline tangle and sip the strangest origin story ever brewed in this episode of The Box of Oddities. First, we explore the baffling time slips of Canevaro Avenue in Lima, Peru, where unsuspecting pedestrians report stepping into centuries-old realities, only to snap back to present day like glitchy NPCs in a haunted simulation. Is it a wrinkle in time or just an aggressive tourist trap? Then: coffee. You drink it, you love it, but did you know its discovery involved a hyperactive goat, a skeptical monk, and possibly divine intervention? Spoiler: it's the most chaotic beverage backstory in history. Get your brain weird and your mug ready—because we're serving mystery, caffeine, and just enough existential dread to pair perfectly with your morning brew. #TimeSlips #WeirdHistory #CoffeeOrigin #BoxOfOddities #OddPod Learn more about your ad choices.

Get Tickets For The Box Of Oddities Live Show Here! This time on The Box of Oddities, we chew through two stories that will leave your brain deliciously baffled. First, travel back to Zürich, 1522, for The Affair of the Sausages—a rebellious feast that helped ignite the Protestant Reformation. When eating meat during Lent becomes a political act, things get oddly spicy. Then, we descend into the shadowy caves of South America to meet the Oil Bird—a nocturnal, echolocating enigma that smells like rancid milk and looks like a feathered flashlight that's lost its will to live. From religious rebellion fueled by cured meats to a bird that might be part candle, part cryptid, this episode is peak historical weirdness and evolutionary chaos. #BoxOfOddities #WeirdHistory #AffairOfTheSausages #OilBird #StrangeFacts #BizarreBiology #OddPodcast #HistoryNerds #WTFNature Learn more about your ad choices.

Chris of Reptiles & Oddities discusses his extensive experience with reptiles in this episode, starting with his unfortunate experience at Rattlesnake roundups, then moving on to his more positive experiences with his personal species. Chris talks about the influence that these events brought to his personal reptile keeping, leading him to build his own DIY enclosures and focus on husbandry without a heavy financial burden. Chris discusses the building process of his DIY enclosures in great detail, allowing newer DIY builders to follow along and build their own. We also discuss his relationship with wildlife officials and law enforcement in his area, leading to details of his relocation jobs with various species of snake.SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/228-reptiles-and-oddities/SPONSORS: Visit The BioDude: https://www.thebiodude.com/ Visit Zoo Med Labs here: https://zoomed.com/JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/animalsathomeLINKS FROM THE EPISODE:Reptiles & Oddities Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reptiles_and_oddities/Reptiles & Oddities YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Reptiles_and_oddities/Reptiles & Oddities TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@reptiles.and.oddi00:00 Introducing Chris of Reptiles And Oddities2:45 Upcoming: Zoo Med ReptiSun LED3:04 Upcoming: The Bio Dude3:40 Welcome Chris + Rattlesnake Roundups Experience11:30 Influence of Reptiles on Chris15:16 Species of Reptiles He Keeps18:24 Building DIY Enclosures - Materials, Cost, Etc25:12 Zoo Med ReptiSun LED26:37 More Materials For Building DIY Enclosures37:39 Chris' Large Rack Systems43:33 The Bio Dude Substrates + Bug Grub44:34 PVC Enclosures or DIY?47:12 Chris' Relationship With Wildlife Officials1:00:00 Creating A Relationship With Law Enforcement1:05:12 How Does Relocating Work?1:08:34 Chris' Future Plans in Education and Relocation Content1:15:18 More About Chris' Experience + Closing Thoughts

Tune in and find out. Then, it's off to the haunted Mizpah Hotel in Nevada, where the decor includes vintage wallpaper, bad decisions, and an occasional ghostly slap in the face. From medieval funeral logistics to bed-and-breakfast poltergeist etiquette, it's a journey through the weird, the haunted, and the deeply questionable. Bring snacks. Possibly holy water.

When contractors cracked open the aging walls of a 120-year-old department store, they expected dust, maybe a few old rats with top hats. What they didn't expect was a discovery so bizarre it had the building inspector saying, “Yeah… I'm gonna need backup.” In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro peel back the drywall on a mystery that's been sealed for over sixty years. Then: before TikTok influencers and Times Square billboards, there were the banner girls—humans turned mobile advertisements, parading products on their bodies with the same enthusiasm as a sandwich board at a conspiracy convention. What happened when marketing met mayhem? You'll have to hear it to believe it. Tune in for strange secrets, forgotten history, and the kind of content that makes you mutter, “What the weird?” under your breath in public.

TIX TO BOX OF ODDITES LIVE SHOWS ARE NOW ON SALE HERE! Welcome to Inbox of Oddities, where reality takes a smoke break and the inbox bursts open with haunted urns, chalk-eating tulpas, Cold War wristbands, and at least one New Jersey-based armadillo that defies all natural law. In this listener-fueled fever dream: One listener's imaginary friend—Bimble, the caped, spoon-draped chalk connoisseur—appears in someone else's childhood, uninvited and possibly still out there. A surgical nurse from Kalamazoo fact-checks a historical deep dive and dishes on a defunct statue that looked like it belonged in a museum labeled “Regret.” A cat becomes a Latin-hating oracle, an ER trip turns mildly conspiratorial, and Albania is revealed to be bunker-rich and surprisingly scenic. Also: haunted urn gymnastics, ritual birthmarks, a cheese grater mishap, armadillo teleportation, and a touching reminder that kindness still matters—even when your neighbor might be a Siberian shaman. Come for the mystery. Stay because your pet just growled at the speaker and now you can't blink. BOO is powered by your stories—and possibly interdimensional rodent portals. #BoxOfOddities #InboxOfOddities #WeirdPodcast #ListenerTales #HauntedUrn #ImaginaryFriendOrDemon #SiberianShamanNeighbor #PossessedCat #BunkerTourism #PodcastWeirdness #StayBizarre #FreakFlagFlying Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, your curiosity is about to be abducted—possibly by a 19th-century mermaid in a UFO-shaped boat. First, we plunge into the Utsuro-bune Incident—a baffling tale from 1803 Japan involving a mysterious woman, a sealed vessel, and just enough alien energy to make your eyebrows levitate. Then, we trek into the frosty footprint of Peter Freuchen, the towering Dutch explorer who survived the Arctic by literally pooping his way out of an ice prison. Yes, really. Prepare for mystery, adventure, and bodily function-based survival tactics, all served with that signature Box of Oddities flavor: one part absurdity, two parts historical weirdness.

0:00 - It's weird that the Avalanche 2nd line hasn't recorded a single point. The Choo Choo Train has yet to leave the station. Also, Landeskog warmed up with the team then didn't play. Why? Brett says the Avs could use his style of play against a tough goalie like Oettinger.18:10 - Nico Harrison finally addressed the media publicly after the Mavericks season wrapped up. Just when you think he can't say something even dumber than he has already, he finds a way. Then, are you more comfortable with the Avs situation or the Nuggets situation right now?36:11 - It's okay. Despite everything Vic and Moser said earlier, the sky isn't actually falling right now in Denver.

The Psychology of Heaven's Gate and Nan Songer, The Spider Lady What makes a person trade all earthly belongings for a pair of Nikes and a one-way ticket on a UFO behind a comet? In this episode, Jethro dives into the unnerving psychology behind the Heaven's Gate cult: belief, identity, and how a group of intelligent, seemingly rational people boarded the strangest spaceship never built. Then Kat introduces us to Nan Songer—California's charming, eccentric “Spider Lady”—who became famous for her eight-legged companions and a personal brand that was equal parts science, spectacle, and complete arachnid chaos. So, please ensure your seat is in its upright and fully locked position: One story might make you question the nature of belief, while the other might make you check your shoes.

The Portal Opens at 2:13 PM (And Smells Like Popcorn) In this curiously chaotic installment of Inbox of Oddities, the freaks are flying high, the lawn gnomes are marching with purpose, and at least one Alexa may be orchestrating an ancient sand-based summoning ritual. A possessed kitchen appliance taps out Morse code mid-spaghetti. A haunted mirror whispers the name Trevor. And somewhere in France, a brave listener dry-heaves her way off the highway thanks to an unsolicited deep dive into the glamorous world of… vomit collectors. Also: dog grief, wisdom teeth trauma, spectral cologne, and a disappearing cat named Muffin with possible ties to the multiverse (or at least a smoky Victorian parlor). From ghostly pasta warnings to post-mortem flower shotgun shells, this episode is a love letter to the gloriously weird lives of our listeners—and a gentle reminder to always question a migrating garden gnome.

Why does a six-story elephant loom over the Jersey Shore like a Victorian kaiju? And what kind of dystopian mollusk surveillance program is Poland running these days? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro investigate the bizarre legacy of Lucy the Elephant. This 138-year-old wooden behemoth once moonlighted as a real estate lure, a tavern, and possibly the most haunted elephant architecture in history. Then it's off to Warsaw, where the city's water purity is guarded not by scientists but by clams—actual clams—with jobs. Learn how these shelled sentinels are hooked up to biometric sensors and become the unsung bivalve heroes of municipal hygiene. A pachyderm with a history. Mollusks with a mission. Just another day in the oddiverse. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, we begin with the extraordinary life—and tragic death—of Khaled al-Asaad, the Syrian archaeologist who courageously protected the ancient city of Palmyra from destruction. Refusing to reveal the location of hidden treasures, he faced unspeakable brutality to ensure the survival of irreplaceable history. His legacy is carved not in stone but in sacrifice. Then, from solemnity to sheer absurdity, we dive headfirst into The Great Stork Derby—a 1930s Canadian legal spectacle where a millionaire's will turned childbirth into a competitive sport. Yes, a real-life baby-making contest. What happens when estate law meets aggressive procreation? A weirdly fertile lawsuit. Two stories: one man dies for ancient artifacts; several women compete for a fortune by having the most artifacts. Heroism and hilarity. Antiquity and maternity. Welcome to The Box.

Inbox of Oddities #043: The Duck, the Frog, and the Glitch in the Gas Station Matrix In this electrifying edition of the Inbox of Oddities, the Freakverse flexes hard. A lonely duck returns with backup, a frog named Jeffrey maybe poisons a listener via tongue-torch, and the plumbing gods get petty when mocked. Also in this episode: mail-predicting cats and a bathroom mirror that knocks back. Listener tales of the absurd, uncanny, and accidentally profound. Is the universe trying to tell us something? Maybe. Is it doing so through ceiling fans and ducks with vendettas? Definitely. Submit your stories. Fly your freak flag. And remember: if your backyard starts shrinking or your cat joins the postal service… you're probably not alone. #InboxOfOddities #BoxOfOddities #StayWeird #GlitchInTheMatrix #DuckRevenge #FreakVerse #WeirdStories #SupernaturalHumor Learn more about your ad choices.

What do a mysterious metal orb and a sadistic ultramarathon have in common? They're both ready to ruin your weekend—and they're both in this episode of The Box of Oddities. First, Kat and Jethro roll into the strange saga of the Betz Sphere—a shiny, sentient-looking ball discovered in Florida that might be haunted, alien... or just really into Foghat. Then, lace up for the Barkley Marathons, the grueling backwoods race that has chewed up Navy SEALs and spit out their shoelaces. With no official start time, no GPS, and a course mapped in blood and sarcasm, it's less “fun run” and more “forest-based psychological thriller.” From paranormal spheres to sadistic sprints, this episode dives headfirst into the bizarre.

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, things get weird—fast. First, JG explores the chilling legend and even chillier reality of Wendigo psychosis—a rare (and horrifyingly real) condition where individuals become obsessed with consuming human flesh. Spoiler: It's not a new fad diet. Then, Kat balances the darkness with heartwarming stories of random acts of kindness that didn't just make someone's day—they triggered astonishing ripple effects across lives, time zones, and possibly dimensions. It's cannibalism meets compassion, because why not? Tune in for a mind-bending blend of the macabre, mysterious, and meaningful, delivered with the trademark curiosity and humor you expect from The Box of Oddities. Whether you're into dark folklore, psychological anomalies, or unexpected tearjerkers, this episode has your weird little heart covered. Learn more about your ad choices.

What do a duck with refined musical taste, a prophetic child, a phantom couch with mom-guilt, and a mysterious man named “Lars” (who pays in silver and fears airborne horsefish) all have in common? In this latest Inbox of Oddities episode, they're all real tales from you, the wonderfully weird freak family. Join Kat and JG as they dive headfirst into listener-submitted stories featuring: Sleep paralysis demons who look suspiciously like mom Time-looping tabbies named Beebo Haunted projectors and accidental lube product placements Military radio ghosts and emotionally supportive succulents A dog who literally bowled over an entire town Plus: meet the man who wants a Heineken in his cold dead hand, a taco-bearing dream intruder with your Gmail password, and the legend of the village that said, “Yes, we will roll cannonballs down Main Street.” Weird? Absolutely. Heartwarming? Surprisingly. Hilarious? Always. The freak flag flies high in this one. #Podcast #WeirdStories #SleepParalysis #Paranormal #BoxOfOddities #InboxOfOddities #HauntedHouse #TimeLoop #GhostSignals #PodcastCommunity #ListenerStories #TrueWeirdness #DuckTalesButWeirder Learn more about your ad choices.

Operation Highjump and Tycho Brahe Was Antarctica the site of a secret Nazi UFO battle? And did a 16th-century astronomer really keep a pet elk... that kept falling down the stairs? In this delightfully peculiar episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro dive deep into the chilling conspiracy theories behind Operation Highjump, a U.S. Navy mission shrouded in mystery, paranoia—and possibly interdimensional penguins. Then, it's off to the Renaissance, where the brilliant but wildly eccentric Tycho Brahe charts the stars while hosting epic parties, wearing a brass nose, and feuding with a man over math (which ends precisely how you'd expect). Join us as we explore the weird, the wonderful, and the questionably historical. Because when facts get strange, we dig stranger. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat, and Jethro unbox a double dose of historical weirdness and cultural curiosity. First, meet Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher—Prussian war hero, chaos gremlin, and the kind of guy who believed he was pregnant with an elephant. (Spoiler: He wasn't.) His wild behavior helped defeat Napoleon but also raised a few powdered eyebrows. Then, we head to the island of Pere in Papua New Guinea, where death isn't just a biological inconvenience—it's a suspicious social faux pas. In these ancient belief systems, people don't just die… someone causes it. Naturally. Because obviously. Ghosts, generals, and a little gastrointestinal confusion—what more could you want?

The Inbox of Oddities is a delightful bonus episode where Kat and Jethro dive into the treasure trove of listener emails, comments, and messages sent by you—the ever-curious Freak Family. From spine-tingling personal encounters with the paranormal to bizarre trivia, mysterious coincidences, and even a touch of the hilariously strange, this episode is a wild ride of oddities shared by the ones who make this community so unique. Tune in for heartfelt stories, jaw-dropping revelations, and the twisted humor that makes every episode of The Box of Oddities an unforgettable experience.

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, we unravel two wildly bizarre tales that will leave you questioning reality itself. First, Jethro dives into the terrifying legend of the Red Ghost of Arizona—a monstrous, bloodthirsty creature that terrorized the Old West, leaving a trail of destruction and something even more horrifying in its wake. Then, Kat sets sail with the SS Sapona, a ship with a strange past that feels like a fever dream. This Prohibition-era vessel went from a floating rum depot to a military target, and today, it's a sunken relic with an eerie presence—and Kat actually dived on it. Strange creatures, haunted shipwrecks, and inexplicable oddities? Just another day at The Box of Oddities!

Elmer McCurdy Won't Stay Dead & Sapphire Sandalo on the Spirit World What happens when an Old West outlaw refuses to stay buried—literally? The saga of Elmer McCurdy, the train-robbing bandit-turned-traveling-corpse, takes another bizarre twist. We've got the latest on his posthumous misadventures because, apparently, being dead is just a minor inconvenience. Then, we delve into the supernatural with Sapphire Sandalo, paranormal investigator, co-investigator on The Ghost Town Terror (Travel Channel), and host of Stories with Sapphire. From ghostly encounters to the ethics of spirit communication, she shares eerie firsthand experiences that will make you question what's lurking in the shadows. Do the dead really speak—or are we just bad at listening? Expect weirdness, true tales of the unexplained, and all the creepy-cool strangeness you love from The Box of Oddities. #TrueCrime #Paranormal #GhostStories #HauntedHistory #BoxOfOddities If you would like to advertise on The Box of Oddities, contact advertising@airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
