Deep in northern Maine, the Hainsville Woods hold more than just trees—they harbor chilling tales of phantom hitchhikers, eerie roadside encounters, and a legend that makes even seasoned locals uneasy. But that's only half the weirdness. This episode of The Box of Oddities also dives into the surprisingly destructive world of stone stacking in national parks. Sure, it looks “Zen” on Instagram, but it's wreaking havoc on delicate ecosystems and confusing wildlife who didn't sign up for your rock art project. From haunted highways to misguided cairn enthusiasts, this episode proves once again that the world is stranger (and funnier) than you think.

Were these wandering performers guardians of misfits, or something far more unsettling? Then, hold onto your bayonets (and maybe your Schnapps ®) as we march straight into the Battle of Karansebes—arguably the most disastrously hilarious military blunder ever recorded, where an army accidentally defeated itself before the enemy even arrived.

Fall Tour Info And Tickets Here! Inbox of Oddities: Shopping Cart Poltergeists, Boo Fuel & Other Listener Oddventures In this listener-fueled episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro wade waist-deep into the beautifully bizarre world of freaks, phantoms, and fuel price coincidences. A rogue shopping cart with a vendetta. A gas station receipt that channels numerological energy. A haunted laundry hamper that eats only left socks. Oh, and someone may or may not be living with a phantom roommate obsessed with dish duty. We also hear from a listener who nearly lost their lunch to Kat's discussion of PUS, meet a comedy-loving ghost lurking near a lady-part sculpture, and discover that “Box of Oddititties” might be the next big merch drop. Plus: hot booze from Alaska, an invitation to drink in Salisbury, and urgent metaphysical questions about what happens if you fall through the center of the Earth (spoiler: you bounce). It's an entire spectrum of listener weirdness—from haunted carts to heartfelt duck farts—all lovingly unboxed by your fellow freaks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Episode 410 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the hills above the Quequechan in Fall River, Massachusetts, searching for a location that was once home to a dilapidated hut and a witchy woman who frightened the region's mill workers in the mid-19th century. From strange lights and sounds emanating from the shack, to an old crone who threatened those who wanted to do her harm, this legend is creepy.

For centuries, sailors have shared baffling stories of phantom vessels found adrift with their crews missing. Such mysterious occurrences have helped give rise to famous legends like that of the "Flying Dutchman," a ghost ship said to have been observed during severe maritime storms since at least the eighteenth century. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we explore several historical cases of ships at sea and aircraft whose crews went missing, like the famous Mary Celeste, the odd tale of the Orang Medan, a blimp whose crew vanished during WWII, and other eerie examples. However, could some reported sightings of phantom vessels throughout time also point to another kind of phenomenon at work behind a few of these famous tales, and the urban legends that become associated with them?

In Episode 409 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the ruins of Ricker Basin, a Waterbury, Vermont, ghost town that survived just over a century before a massive 1927 storm ravaged the region, killing over 50 people and leaving behind a village that was no longer viable. Today the cellar holes, cemetery, and a dilapidated structure is all that stands as a testament that someone was once here.

Finally, why has humanity laughed for over a century at people slipping on banana peels? The answer is slipperier than you'd expect. Prepare your ears for an all-you-can-eat buffet of the bizarre: cannibalistic curiosity, sideshow superstars, and fruit-based pratfall propaganda.

Join host Jed Doherty as he sits down with JP Boneyard, the creative mind behind the captivating picture book "Animals of the National Parks." This episode is a delightful journey through America's stunning landscapes, wildlife, and the power of storytelling. JP, an artist with roots in Massachusetts and now based in Austin, shares his passion for creating educational and visually stunning books that bring national parks to life. His latest project is more than just a children's book - it's an invitation to explore the incredible diversity of the United States through its wildlife. The book, which started as an alphabet series of national park animals, transforms complex scientific information into engaging, kid-friendly narratives. From moose diving underwater to bison roaming the plains, each page is designed to spark curiosity and wonder in young readers (and adults too!). What makes this book special is its ability to teach children about nature, biodiversity, and the importance of conservation. JP explains how each illustration is carefully crafted to represent different regions and ecosystems, showing kids that America is so much more than just one landscape. The conversation doesn't just focus on the book, but also delves into the joy of reading with children, the importance of picture walks, and how books can inspire young minds to appreciate the natural world. JP's collaborative approach with illustrators and his commitment to educational storytelling shines through. Whether you're a parent looking for an engaging book to read with your kids, an nature enthusiast, or someone who loves beautiful illustrations, this episode offers something for everyone. It's a reminder that learning can be fun, beautiful, and inspiring. Tune in to discover how a picture book can become a gateway to understanding the incredible diversity of our national parks and the amazing animals that call them home. We also explore Michael Schwartz's groundbreaking YA novel "Split," which delves into the fascinating world of human genetics through the story of Ethan, a chimera with two distinct sets of DNA. Schwartz, a physician's assistant with a passion for storytelling, transforms a complex medical condition into a compelling narrative about identity, nature versus nurture, and personal growth. The book follows Ethan's journey as he navigates bullying, family dynamics, and his own internal struggle, with two different sides of his body representing his parents' genetic traits. Schwartz's unique approach to storytelling not only entertains but also educates, potentially inspiring young readers to explore medical science and understand the intricate complexities of human biology. With a recommended reading age of 12-13 and up, "Split" promises to spark meaningful conversations about genetics, personal identity, and the ongoing scientific quest to understand human diversity.

In Episode 408 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger hike up Regicide Trail to Judges Cave in the woods of New Haven, Connecticut. Back in 1661, two judges on the lam from the King of England, hid inside these small caves. William Goffe and his father-in-law Edward Whalley were found guilty of signing the death warrant of King Charles I. King Charles II took that personally. Today the cave is a unique landmark.

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett dives into an intriguing and unconventional topic: a mysterious interstellar object reportedly headed toward our solar system. Referencing the work of Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, Brett explores the possibility that the object—known as “3I Atlas”—may be alien technology rather than just a large comet. Loeb’s analysis highlights the object's unusual size, speed, and precisely timed trajectory, which suggest it may not be of natural origin. According to Loeb, the object will make a close approach to the sun on October 29th, potentially using the sun’s gravity for a maneuver. Brett shares his fascination, joking that the object might be responding to Earth's century of radio transmissions—or even his long-standing jokes about space. He discusses the potential of using NASA’s Juno spacecraft to intercept the object in 2026 and encourages listeners to stay curious. What starts as a space oddity turns into a fun and thought-provoking segment blending science, humor, and speculation. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

In this episode, Jethro dives face-first into one of the most perplexing murder investigations in modern history—complete with bizarre circumstances, inexplicable evidence, and a twist so jaw-dropping it left seasoned detectives cross-eyed. It's a true crime story that starts strange and somehow gets stranger. Meanwhile, Kat digs up the mystery of Attenborough's long-beaked echidna—a creature that sounds like it was designed by a committee of science fiction writers and hallucinating zoologists. It has a beak. It lays eggs. It's covered in spines. And it hasn't been officially spotted since 1961. Is it extinct, mythical… or just extremely introverted? It's true crime meets cryptid chic in a brand new episode of The Box of Oddities—where the inexplicable isn't a bug, it's the main feature.

It's basically a salad that eats you. Then, we voyage to the disappearing island nation of Tuvalu, where rising sea levels have inspired an unprecedented plan: become the world's first digital nation.

First: the strange disappearance of the Clark family from Detroit. One minute they're living their quiet, suburban life—next minute, poof—gone without a trace. Is it an unsolved mystery, urban legend, or the world's most elaborate game of hide-and-seek? Then, brace yourself for the harrowing true story of Aloha Airlines Flight 243, the mid-air disaster that turned a routine trip over Hawaii into a surreal nightmare.

Tickets for The Box of Oddities Live Tour Here! In this Freak Family Favorites episode of The Box of Oddities, we investigate three very different ways humans have tried to solve very different problems—with wildly questionable success. First, we ride back to 1894, when the streets of major cities were ankle-deep in horse poop and people feared civilization would be buried in a literal pile of its own progress. What was the solution to the Great Horse Manure Crisis? Spoiler: it wasn't a bigger shovel. Then, we dive into the squishy, grotesque, and oddly therapeutic world of Victorian medicine with a "cure" for rheumatoid arthritis that required the patient to crawl inside a dead whale carcass. You read that right. It's less “spa treatment,” more “Jonah fan fiction.” And finally, we pedal straight into psychedelic history with a celebration of Bicycle Day—the trippy anniversary of the world's first intentional LSD journey in 1943. A chemist. A bike. And a brain on technicolor fire. From poop-pocalypse panic to whale-based healing rituals and accidental acid trips, this episode is a wild ride through the absurd corners of human history.
LIVE SHOW TIX HERE Set sail into the strangest corners of history and mystery in this episode of The Box of Oddities! First, we weigh anchor in 18th-century Dublin to explore the baffling disappearance—and even more bewildering reappearance—of the Ouzel Galley, a “ghost ship” that vanished without a trace… only to return five years later with a tale that's either the greatest cover story of all time or a nautical glitch in the Matrix. Then: tropical paradise meets paranormal peril.

Box of Oddities Live National Tour September 10 - October 31, Halloween Night. Learn More Here! In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro raise a glass to history's most unsettling happy hour. First, a post-mortem fashion icon: the corpse of Countess Virginia Oldoini, a.k.a. the Countess of Castiglione—19th-century Italian aristocrat, secret agent, fashion influencer, and full-time narcissist. She posed for over 400 photos, staged her own haunting re-creations of operas, and spent her final years obsessively preparing to be seen dead just right. Spoiler: her afterlife aesthetic was more “ghost of Versailles” than “eternal slay.” Then, we stumble drunkenly across the globe to explore humanity's weirdest regional cocktails. From "Fat Ass In A Glass" to "The Burnt Trailer", these aren't your hipster speakeasy cocktails. They're historic. They're horrifying. They'll make you question your liver's will to live. Drink deeply from the odd. #BoxOfOddities #WeirdHistory #CountessCastiglione #StrangeButTrue #BizarreDrinks #MacabreFashion #FermentedWhat #OddlyInformative #HistoryIsDrunk Learn more about your ad choices.

Find out more about The Box of Oddities Live! In this delightfully disturbing episode of The Box of Oddities, we unearth two baffling tales that defy logic, science, and perhaps even basic hygiene. First, journey to the plague-ravaged town of Frankenstein (yes, it's real), circa 1606. As bodies piled up and panic spread faster than a medieval TikTok trend, townspeople pointed their infected fingers at an unlikely culprit: the gravediggers. Accused of spreading the Black Death through dark rituals, corpse mutilation, and a suspicious over-enthusiasm for their work, several were executed—possibly to death. Were they scapegoats... or graveyard alchemists gone rogue? Then, leap ahead to 1997 and the eerie vanishing of Lori Bova. After a quiet dinner with her husband, she stepped outside and was never seen again. No signs of struggle. No trail to follow. Just a whisper on the wind and an open timeline full of conspiracy. Dark history meets vanishing acts in this episode of head-scratching proportions. #BoxOfOddities #HistoricalMystery #UnexplainedDisappearance #PlagueLore #CreepyPodcast #OddlyFascinating Learn more about your ad choices.

Learn More About Box Of Oddities Live Show Tickets! A skull bequeathed to a favorite coworker. A traffic cone worshipped like a divine orange messiah. A wisdom tooth turned into fine jewelry. On this gloriously bizarre installment of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro dive deep into the wonderfully weird world of listener emails in an "Inbox of Oddities" episode that defies both logic and conventional estate planning. Mace kicks us off with a posthumous coworker gift plan that involves body farms, ring finger relics, and mandatory skull accessorizing. Then we take a detour through minty toothpaste tab evangelism, misheard Cream lyrics, cats with shared soul custody, and a town that literally canonized a traffic cone. Also: undead lawn geometry, Louisville BBQ diplomacy, and one listener's heartwarming pants-half-on booty shake. You'll laugh, you'll learn, you'll probably update your will. Whether you're new to the pod or have been with us since the early tales of flaming bigfeet, this episode is a love letter to the oddballs, the outcasts, and everyone whose dad still tells that panda joke. #BoxOfOddities #TrueWeird #SkullGoals #CoworkerInheritancePlan #ToothEarringFashion #TrafficConeCult #InboxOfOddities #WeirdPodcast #CuriousCommunity #StayWeird Learn more about your ad choices.

LIVE SHOW TICKETS HERE Did you know there was a time when trees never rotted? In this flaming-hot episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro unearth the ancient world's most eco-unfriendly crisis: a time when dead trees just… stuck around, stacked up, and turned the whole planet into a pyromaniac's dream. Spoiler: it ends in fire. Lots of it. Then, travel back to 75 BCE, when a young Julius Caesar got kidnapped by pirates—and responded by being the pettiest hostage in history. Think Stockholm Syndrome in reverse. He laughed in their faces, demanded a higher ransom for himself, and then… well, let's just say things didn't end well for the pirates. From prehistoric firestorms to petty Roman revenge fantasies, this episode dives deep into the hilariously weird corners of science and history. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Box of Oddities Live Show. Learn More Here! The Cursed Life of Moll Dyer & the Tooth Fairy's Bizarre Backstory In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro unearth the ghostly tale of Moll Dyer, the colonial-era outcast whose fiery legend scorched its way into Maryland folklore—and possibly left a permanent spiritual stain on a local boulder. Is her restless spirit still wandering the woods, or just really into dramatic exits? Then: we sink our teeth into the surprisingly twisted history of the Tooth Fairy—from Viking warriors hoarding baby teeth for luck to 20th-century parents bribing children like tiny, enamel-based mob bosses.

This Independence Day, Box of Oddities declares its independence from boring history. In this explosive episode, Kat and Jethro crack open two patriotic oddities you won't find in your middle school textbook. First: the bizarre true story of how George Washington's doctors tried to bring him back from the dead using lamb's blood, warmed wine, and a tracheotomy straight out of a horror flick. Spoiler: it didn't work, but it was disturbingly enthusiastic. Then, peel back the pristine portraits of America's First Ladies to reveal their lesser-known, darker sides—from séances in the White House to whispers of obsession and manipulation. It's presidential weirdness with a side of barbecue.
The Box Of Oddities Live Show Tickets Here! In this episode of The Box of Oddities, things get combustible—literally. First, we unravel the baffling tale of New Zealand's 1931 exploding pants epidemic, where farmers' trousers mysteriously burst into flames thanks to one very misunderstood chemical. Spoiler: it's not spontaneous combustion, but it is hilarious. Then, we pivot from pants to valor with the jaw-dropping story of Desmond Doss, the WWII combat medic who charged into hell without a weapon—saving 75 men on Hacksaw Ridge armed only with courage and a whole lot of faith. Strap in for an explosive blend of history, mystery, and the wonderfully weird. From fiery farm fashion to a pacifist superhero, this episode delivers the kind of oddities you didn't know you needed.

See The Box of Oddities Live! Get Your Tickets! In this deeply strange and oddly inspiring episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro unearth the haunting tale of Lalloo Ramparsad, a man born in 19th-century India with a parasitic twin attached to his body. Lalloo spent his life navigating a world that saw him as a curiosity, not a person—touring sideshows while quietly fighting for dignity and acceptance in a time that offered little of either. Then, things really heat up as we explore the world's eternal flames—natural fires that have been burning for thousands of years. Sacred shrines? Geological flukes? Hell's pilot lights? You decide. Expect mystery, empathy, and fire that won't quit. Because sometimes the most unbelievable stories… are still burning. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
