Live Show Tickets And Information Here! Inbox of Oddities: Episode 61 – “Ghost Rides and Haunted Reflections” In this spine-tingling edition of The Inbox of Oddities, the Freak Family delivers another batch of strange, heartfelt, and hilariously unsettling tales straight from the beyond (and beyond belief). A listener from Austin swears his late uncle moonlights as an Uber driver—and somehow still knows all the family secrets. Connie from Philadelphia writes to thank Kat and JG for keeping the weird wonderfully normal while sharing stories from her psychic, braille‑tarot‑reading mother (and her dining‑room coffin). Lola from Chicago's apartment keeps playing one lonely piano note at 11 p.m. sharp—every night. Meanwhile, a haunted library book in Rochester seems desperate for attention, and one unlucky thrift shopper finds a mirror that insists on celebrating “Alex's” birthday. There's also a touching tribute to Cheese the pug, who lived his best, most fashion‑forward life—and might still be gobbling from the other side. And Madam Kitty of the Lakes (Christy, if you're nasty) sends cloud photos, cemetery encounters, and lake‑town weirdness from Minnesota. It's a wild, heartwarming ride through spectral Ubers, stylish ghost dogs, and paranormal home décor—all lovingly wrapped in gratitude, laughter, and the peculiar magic that only the Freak Family can bring.

Joined by Heidi (Unfiltered Rise) to discuss the hairy oddities of the sideshow world. We dive into Hypertrichosis, Ambra's Syndrome, and other diagnoses that cause extreme hair growth. There were some surprising correlations with prescription medications that can cause these occurrences. We dig into famous performers, how Darwin's Theory of Evolution plays a part, crazy inhumane treatment, and much more.

Vote Box of Oddities For People's Choice Award Here! Live Show Info And Tickets Here! What do ancient Egyptians, Romanian grandmas, and angry Pac-Man ghosts have in common? They all want a bite to eat—from beyond the grave. This episode of The Box of Oddities serves up a global smorgasbord of traditions where feeding the dead isn't just a metaphor—it's a full-course afterlife buffet. From wine funnels into Roman tombs to a perfectly seasoned rotisserie chicken in New Orleans, we explore the bizarre and touching ways humanity has kept its ghostly loved ones well-fed. Then things get... heated. We dive deep into the strange world of arousal non-concordance—when your body throws a party your brain didn't RSVP to. You'll meet people who climax during ab workouts, from brushing their teeth, or from reading a particularly spicy footnote. It's not consent. It's just neurology being weird again. Two tales. One episode. Ancient snacks, ghost etiquette, and involuntary fireworks. You'll laugh, cringe, and maybe never look at funeral biscuits or fitness routines the same way again.

Welcome to the Inbox of Oddities, where the freaks write in and the universe delivers receipts.

Welcome to Paraween, presented by the ParaPods Network! This Halloween, Amanda's been host-snatched—spirited away to the And That's Why We Drink feed for some haunting hijinks. In her chair this week sits Jethro Gilligan Toth, co-host of Box of Oddities, joining Trevin for a truly bone-chilling petty crime deep dive. Together, they unravel the bizarre rise of the 12-foot Home Depot Skeleton — from its spooky origins and DIY folklore roots, to the crime wave of skeleton thefts that swept the suburbs. You'll hear about Skellynappers, HOA horror stories, out-of-season skeleton displays, and neighbors turned vigilantes. It's a tale of Halloween capitalism, petty vandalism, and the unbreakable spirit of spooky season. But between all the bones and bad behavior, Trevin and Jethro find something even stranger — friendship. From bragging about their wives to bonding over their shared fascination with death, the two discover they might just be soulmates from the same crypt. And stay tuned for a special treat: Trevin closes the episode with The Spirit Halloween Theme Song by comedian Nick Lutsko — because no Halloween story is complete without a musical séance.

REM Sleep, Clock Curses, and Alien Heat Lightning Vote Box of Oddities For People's Choice Award Here! Live Show Info And Tickets Here! In this listener-powered episode of The Box of Oddities, JG and Kat crack open the inbox and out pour... auditory hallucinations, ghost clocks, spontaneous astral projection, and the shocking truth about “heat lightning.” (Spoiler: it's probably aliens.) First, a listener shares how her dreams are so vivid and reality-bending due to Narcolepsy that she's genuinely not sure which world is real—relatable, terrifying, and yes, somehow still funny. Then, a cursed wall clock starts ticking every time someone dies. No batteries. No mercy. Just 12 minutes of tick-tock you're next. Meanwhile, someone else swears that a strange sky phenomenon isn't just distant thunder—it's the government covering up UFO joyrides. (Can't argue with that logic.) You'll also hear about a haunted hallway birth involving Richard Simmons, dolphin-whale linguistics, astral projection lessons, and what happens when massage therapists listen to BoO during bodywork sessions (spoiler: they cry, and so do you). Whether it's clock-based death omens or the weirdly uplifting side of functional neurological disorders, this Inbox delivers what your brain craves: weird, real, and unreal tales from the wonderfully odd corners of the BoO family.

Quiet is the word of the day at The Odditorium, a curio shop of Oddities, rare trinkets, and some enchanted items. Not much is happening in the world of the arcane. Kinda just an average day. It makes sense; the arcane leylines had been off a bit for the past week, so there's not much interest in investing in the odd curiosities of the world. But Poppy, the owner and founder of “The Odditorium”, doesn't notice or also seem to care. She's happy and content in her backroom, working as usual while several Homunculus Servants tend to the store. That is until she receives a message from the Verdan Grove Library asking for help.STARRING:  @3llebelle  as Poppy @SteveSaylor  as the Narrator & Dungeon MasterTECHNICAL DIRECTOR: @TeeMorris  Music and SFX provided by:Artlist - https://artlist.ioand Pocket Bard - https://pocketbard.appTheme Music - "We're just gettng started" by The Lonely Ramblers - Artlist.ioWelcome to Haven's Rest was recorded at TwitchCon San Diego 2024https://dungeonsanddisableds.com

NASA and SpaceX Prepare for Major Launch: The countdown is on for the launch of NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) from Cape Canaveral this Wednesday. Designed to study the heliosphere, IMAP aims to enhance our understanding of cosmic radiation and protect future astronauts on long-duration missions. Joining IMAP on the Falcon 9 rocket is NOAA's Space Weather Follow-on L1 satellite, crucial for monitoring solar activity, and the Carruthers Geo Corona Observatory, which will investigate Earth's extended atmosphere.Successful Return of Russian Biological Satellite: The BION-M M2 satellite has successfully returned to Earth, carrying a diverse array of life forms, including 75 mice and over 1500 fruit flies. This mission, dubbed a "Noah's Ark in space," provides vital insights into how organisms respond to microgravity and radiation, helping to address the risks of long-term space travel.NASA's Artemis Program Moves Forward: NASA is making strides with its Artemis program, aiming for the Artemis 2 mission to launch as early as February 2026. This mission will mark humanity's first return beyond low Earth orbit in over 50 years, testing the Orion crew capsule on a 10-day mission around the moon.Purdue University to Launch Suborbital Research Mission: In an exciting development, Purdue University will send a team to suborbital space aboard a Virgin Galactic flight in 2027. This mission, called Purdue One, will allow researchers and students to conduct hands-on experiments in microgravity, showcasing the growing accessibility of space research.Hubble Telescope Captures Cosmic Oddity: The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged NGC 2775, a galaxy that appears to blend characteristics of elliptical and spiral galaxies. This unique structure challenges existing models of galaxy formation, highlighting the complexity of our universe.New Insights from Asteroid Ryugu Samples: Research from the Hayabusa 2 mission reveals that water flowed through the parent body of asteroid Ryugu for over a billion years, suggesting that asteroids could have delivered essential ingredients for life to early Earth over an extended period.Dynamic History of Mars Revealed: Findings from NASA's Perseverance rover indicate that ancient rivers on Mars were more powerful than previously thought, reshaping our understanding of the planet's geological history.Hubble Observes White Dwarf Consuming Icy Object: The Hubble Space Telescope has observed a white dwarf star consuming a Pluto-like object, revealing a chemical signature rich in water ice. This discovery suggests that icy bodies similar to those in our solar system are common in other star systems.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

The two guards on duty at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) the night Jeffrey Epstein died, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, claimed to have fallen asleep and failed to check on him for several hours, despite being required to conduct routine checks every 30 minutes. Instead, they falsified records to cover up their negligence, leading to widespread speculation about whether their inaction was due to incompetence or something more sinister. Adding to the controversy, the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) report from the scene raised further doubts, as first responders reportedly found Epstein in a condition inconsistent with immediate resuscitation efforts, with rigor mortis already setting in, suggesting he had been dead for longer than officially stated. The conflicting accounts, missing surveillance footage, and the guards' suspicious behavior have fueled theories that Epstein's death was not simply a suicide, but rather a silencing operation orchestrated to protect powerful individuals implicated in his crimes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Jeffrey Epstein was reportedly terrified of his former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer facing charges for multiple murders. Epstein's fear stemmed from an alleged violent encounter between the two while they were housed together at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York. Shortly before Epstein's first apparent suicide attempt in July 2019, he was found injured in his cell, and he reportedly accused Tartaglione of assaulting him. However, Tartaglione denied any involvement, claiming that he had actually tried to help Epstein and refuted allegations that he had harmed him. Given Tartaglione's background—charged with killing four men in a drug-related crime—Epstein's fear of him fueled speculation that his life was in danger behind bars, adding to the broader concerns and theories surrounding his eventual death.​Documents obtained by the Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act reveal detailed insights into Jeffrey Epstein's final days at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) before his death in August 2019. These records indicate that Epstein was increasingly distressed, experiencing difficulty sleeping, and expressing fears about his safety within the facility. Despite a prior suicide attempt, he was removed from suicide watch and placed in a regular cell, a decision now scrutinized for its appropriateness. The documents also highlight significant lapses in protocol, including guards failing to perform routine checks and falsifying records to cover their negligence. Additionally, there were reports of malfunctioning surveillance cameras outside Epstein's cell, further complicating the circumstances surrounding his death. These revelations have intensified public skepticism and fueled ongoing debates about the adequacy of the measures taken to prevent Epstein's suicide.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

LIVE SHOW TIX HERE Imagine taking a wrong turn and winding up in a version of your hometown that doesn't—and maybe never did—exist. That's exactly what happened to Carol Chase McElheney when she stumbled into a bizarre time slip in Riverside, California—a place both familiar and terrifyingly wrong.

The two guards on duty at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) the night Jeffrey Epstein died, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, claimed to have fallen asleep and failed to check on him for several hours, despite being required to conduct routine checks every 30 minutes. Instead, they falsified records to cover up their negligence, leading to widespread speculation about whether their inaction was due to incompetence or something more sinister. Adding to the controversy, the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) report from the scene raised further doubts, as first responders reportedly found Epstein in a condition inconsistent with immediate resuscitation efforts, with rigor mortis already setting in, suggesting he had been dead for longer than officially stated. The conflicting accounts, missing surveillance footage, and the guards' suspicious behavior have fueled theories that Epstein's death was not simply a suicide, but rather a silencing operation orchestrated to protect powerful individuals implicated in his crimes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein was reportedly terrified of his former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer facing charges for multiple murders. Epstein's fear stemmed from an alleged violent encounter between the two while they were housed together at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York. Shortly before Epstein's first apparent suicide attempt in July 2019, he was found injured in his cell, and he reportedly accused Tartaglione of assaulting him. However, Tartaglione denied any involvement, claiming that he had actually tried to help Epstein and refuted allegations that he had harmed him. Given Tartaglione's background—charged with killing four men in a drug-related crime—Epstein's fear of him fueled speculation that his life was in danger behind bars, adding to the broader concerns and theories surrounding his eventual death.​Documents obtained by the Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act reveal detailed insights into Jeffrey Epstein's final days at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) before his death in August 2019. These records indicate that Epstein was increasingly distressed, experiencing difficulty sleeping, and expressing fears about his safety within the facility. Despite a prior suicide attempt, he was removed from suicide watch and placed in a regular cell, a decision now scrutinized for its appropriateness. The documents also highlight significant lapses in protocol, including guards failing to perform routine checks and falsifying records to cover their negligence. Additionally, there were reports of malfunctioning surveillance cameras outside Epstein's cell, further complicating the circumstances surrounding his death. These revelations have intensified public skepticism and fueled ongoing debates about the adequacy of the measures taken to prevent Epstein's suicide.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

​In the days leading up to his death, Jeffrey Epstein exhibited a complex and seemingly contradictory state of mind. Despite facing serious charges and the prospect of a prolonged prison sentence, Epstein reportedly denied having suicidal thoughts and appeared confident about his situation. He described his life as "wonderful" and expressed no intention of self-harm, even while under suicide watch.   So, how did he end up dead?Following Jeffrey Epstein's highly suspicious death in August 2019, Attorney General William Barr became the subject of intense scrutiny, with many alleging he played a role in a cover-up to protect powerful individuals linked to Epstein. As the head of the Justice Department, Barr oversaw the Bureau of Prisons, which was responsible for Epstein's detention at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC). Critics questioned how such a high-profile inmate, who had reportedly been on suicide watch just days prior, was able to die under such dubious circumstances, including the alleged malfunctioning of security cameras and the guards' failure to conduct routine checks. The rapid declaration of suicide as the official cause of death, despite forensic inconsistencies such as Epstein's hyoid bone fracture—a common indicator of strangulation—led to widespread skepticism. Given Barr's history, including his father's connection to Epstein through hiring him at the Dalton School, and his prior role in minimizing scrutiny over elite figures, suspicions grew that his Justice Department deliberately mishandled the investigation to suppress damaging revelations.In response to these allegations, Barr publicly condemned the failures at MCC, calling them a “perfect storm of screw-ups” rather than an orchestrated cover-up. He ordered internal investigations by the FBI and the Justice Department's Inspector General, which ultimately upheld the suicide ruling. However, many found Barr's explanation unconvincing, particularly given his previous role in facilitating leniency for powerful figures in legal matters. His insistence that Epstein's death was a result of incompetence rather than conspiracy did little to quell speculation, especially as key evidence, such as security footage, was either missing or unusable. Some critics pointed to the swift dismissal of the guards involved as a means to close the case without deeper scrutiny. Barr's handling of the case remains a subject of controversy, with many believing that his role was not just oversight but active damage control to protect Epstein's powerful associates from exposure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jim is joined by paranormal investigators and real-life couple Cody Ray DesBiens and Satori Hawes — known from Ghost Hunters, TAPS, and their paranormal investigations. Together, they share how their paths crossed through the world of the unexplained and how their relationship has become inseparable from their paranormal work. Cody and Satori take us inside The Paranormal Couple's Haunted Museum of Objects, Oddities, and Curiosities, where they curate hundreds of items linked to strange, eerie, and sometimes heartwarming experiences. From dolls that move on their own, to cursed artifacts like a monkey's paw, to objects infused with love and intention, they explain how ordinary antiques can hold extraordinary stories. We also discuss their book, Archives of the Paranormal: Case Files from The Paranormal Couple's Haunted Museum, which collects some of their most fascinating cases and experiences with haunted relics. Along the way, we explore: -The story of the doll that wouldn't stay gone. -Why not everything “haunted” is negative. -What it's like to fall in love while ghost hunting. -How haunted objects can sometimes comfort rather than terrify. -Why respect — not provocation — is the key to investigating the unknown. Whether you're fascinated by cursed relics, intrigued by haunted love stories, or curious about the reality behind Ghost Hunters and TAPS, this conversation offers a unique peek into the lives of two investigators whose passion for the paranormal is matched only by their love for each other. You can find their book on Amazon at https://amzn.to/4nsMIdn Cody & Satori even have more appearances than we discussed at time of recording.

Hey listeners... So, last weekend we had the privilege and the honor of recording from this year's Dark Arts Festival. This time the festival took place at RISD (the venerated Rhode Island School of Design). Brought to you by our good friend (and Friend of the Show), Josh Dahlin of The Horror Depot...the festival brought together, vendors, artists, authors, side-show performers, drag queens, oddities, and much much more in an all-inclusive and diverse space to celebrate the weird and wonderful world of horror, creativity and community. We were fortunate enough to get to talk to film-makers, paranormal investigators, artists and performers. It was a rainy and miserable late-summer New England day but, all that rain certainly didn't dampen anyone's spirits as we, and everyone else had a helluva lot of fun and you can check it all out by listening in ths very episode!
