Why is breaking a mirror bad luck and, also, what even are mirrors? Josh and Logan dig into history and tell stories along the way like why Josh's tee-ball hated him.

Episode 18: Stitious, SuperStitious or SuperDuperStitious ** This podcast was supposed to be about commitment, however, while waiting for the loud garbage truck to pass by, Emma posed a question to the listeners and the topic immediately changed to Stitious, SuperStitious or SuperDuperStitious.

August Around the World continues, though not without incident...Wyatt is MIA after a SNAFU with the NCAAA, so it's up to friend of the show and Taiwan expert Cece to lead the way through this week's travels!

An unprecedented SECOND consecutive week of very-nearly-SEO-friendly episode titles finds the boys examining… nouns, I guess?Jake heads to the mountains of Tibet to uncover the mystery of the Dropa stones!

It's Hallow-friggin-ween again, the time of year when dear friends and podcast cohosts gather around way too late at night, make several beeswax candles from scratch, try to read by said candles' light, and generally just get real tired on mic.

It's this year's first installment of August Around the World, and that means both alien and ghostly Thailand tales!Jake kicks this globetrotting month off with a pretty lukewarm ghost encounter following a visit to a Buddhist shrine, but he rounds this out with a thankfully more colorful story. And that color? YELLOW. Talkin' 'bout a weird little yellow thingy floating around and weirding out some farmers before exploding in the sky.Wyatt then follows that yellow thing's trajectory right out to the stars, with a not-quite-doomsday-cult but also not NOT a doomsday cult who specializes in receiving crucial telepathic communications from aliens. The world hasn't ended yet, so maybe they're onto something…Infinity explorers assemble!

What's that sound? It's either a signal of the End Times, metal stuff, a weird fish, various hoaxes, a microwave weapon, something completely psychological – or it's the latest episode of Superduperstitious!This week, learn all about the 2010s phenomenon of sky trumpets and their probably not-so-apocalyptic origin, and yet again revisit Havana syndrome, which was at first maybe some kind of sonic attack but also maybe just bugs, and then possibly mass hysteria, but now potentially an honest-to-goodness microwave weapon, or else still just mass hysteria.

Over the next eighty years or so, Superduperstitious is gonna cover all 50 U.S. states, plus probably some other places, too! In this initial installment, Wyatt and Jake learn some exciting news about their blood.Jake leads the way with accounts of the Wood Devils of Coos County, NH (even though he’s not from New Hampshire), and then Wyatt discusses Massachusetts’ Bridgewater Triangle in the popular gameshow What is the Bridgewater Triangle?

The start of a new year means some time talk on Superduperstitious!After a bit of rambling that might be more appropriate in a different, more popular genre of podcast (the lucrative road not traveled), the boys dig into some stories that roughly fulfill the prompt of “it is now a different year than it was”. For Wyatt, this means tales from alleged time travelers! And for Jake, an annual Arkansas NYE tradition of having a bunch of dead birds fall from the sky.Could 2021 bring a much-needed fresh start after the horrors of 2020?

The boys are back again, with some kooks and spooks for the books! (For the purposes of this description text, pretend that those three words rhyme.)After a truly surprising visit from a Spring Heeled old pal, Jake leads the way with more of what he does best: crawler bullshit. Cut him some slack – it’s Christmas! And this time it’s served with a tasty side of cave ecology.Wyatt then pays a FOURTH visit to a topic first covered three years and 119 episodes ago: sonic attacks. Even more unexpectedly, he finds himself in the rare but exciting position of doing whatever the opposite of debunking is (re-bunking?). This now four-installment-and-counting saga takes us from the early conclusion of “it’s probably just bugs” hard into the realm of “it’s definitely real”.

Well wouldn’t you know it, there IS one more guest appearance in store this month, just in time for Halloween itself!The boys welcome back to the show friend, bartender, tour guide, and expert on all things Chicago, JONATHAN KNOTEK. Together, the three enjoy a drunken ramble through some scary stories, some haunted history, and some very breaking news RE: a certain city’s bat monsters. Just how many people has Oprah killed?

October has one last meandering interview up its sleeve, and this one is all Halloween all the time!Comics writer and artist CHRIS HASTINGS generously wastes his entire evening talking with Wyatt and Jake about the spookiest of holidays.

Autumn: a thing that happens, as far as we know, every single year. North of the Equator, it’s happening RIGHT NOW. This episode is about that!After a classic and arguably needless SDS PSA, Wyatt explains the German tradition of Feldgeister (“field spirits”), also known as Korndämonen. These corn demons are believed to be responsible for the wellbeing of each field’s crops, so you’d best respect them or you might get beaten with some boobs.Next, Jake rattles off a series of ghostly encounters from followers of the blog GaijinPot. Which of these readers can prove themselves to be THE MOST INTO JAPAN?

What do a scary forest hag legend and a weird stretch of Venezuelan road have in common? Nothing. Except that they’re both featured in this week’s potpourri episode!After some Venusian news, Jake introduces Wyatt to Penelope, a horrific monster woman who roams the Sierra Nevada eating everyone and everything she can. Can radioactive waste really turn a car crash victim into a superwitch? Why the hell not!Wyatt then takes a trip down memory lane to the late ’80s and early ’90s, but use caution as you follow, dear listener: this Caracas route, plagued by something called La Mancha Negra, is known for killing, just, EVERYBODY (on account of the blob).This ep’s got everything you could ever want in a podcast: cracker chewing sounds, meatstriders, asphalt – the total package.

This week, Heaven-Leigh is joined by two superduper special guests - Jake and Wyatt from the podcast Superduperstitious! While they are used to uncovering the science behind the supernatural and paranormal, they suspend their disbelief to go on a series of hot double dates. Each singleton has more than one head, and a lot of love to go around. CW: Bodily fluids. Featuring: Free Geico Ad; Murder You Road; Our First Monster Crushes; Spooky AND Weird News!; Poetry; Sweet Beans: A Hallmark Original Movie.

In this installment of August Around the World, things are getting every bit as spooky and mythology-y (?) as they are Latin American!An extra-interrupty Jake infects Wyatt’s mind with cetacean madness while the latter tries to tell the tale of a shape-shifting monstrosity known for terrorizing dark corners of northern Mexico since pre-Columbian times. Said to be what happens when black magic practitioners turn themselves into hellish pseudo-animals, these naguales sure do have a colorful horoscope.Then, in a segment so connected you’d think it was planned that way even though these hosts most definitely don’t have the wherewithal, Jake introduces the cadejo. If this Mesoamerican monster dog sounds familiar in a British kind of way (or indeed British in a familiar kind of way), then isn’t that something! Spooky tales AND cross-cultural folkloric common themes? What a podcast!Let’s just put a moratorium on all non-indigenous usage of the term “spirit animal” from here on out, shall we? Great. And while we’re at it, let’s gesture religiously into the air, protect the monkey, and check out this ep of Superduperstitious!EPISODE LINKSIowa derecho relief: https://www.iowapublicradio.org/2020-08-14/how-can-i-help-iowans-who-need-it-right-nowMerch Shop: https://www.superduperstitious.com/shopPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/superduperstitiousFour Phantoms email: fourphantomsbeer@gmail.comFour Phantoms website: https://www.fourphantoms.net/Four Phantoms on Untappd: https://untappd.com/FourPhantoms/beerWyatt’s storyThe Nagual: https://mexicounexplained.com/the-nagual/Cultura Colectiva article: https://bit.ly/329zdreMayan zodiac: https://mymayansign.com/Video #1 (many flashlights): https://youtu.be/vTaVjX3DGbM?t=120Video #2 (creepy scuttling): https://youtu.be/MuOUQ58yOFs?t=61Video #3 (VERY creepy): https://youtu.be/MuOUQ58yOFs?t=88Video #4 (issa dawg): https://youtu.be/L9zgbHIusfYJake’s storyPhantom Black Dogs in Latin America: https://www.hoap.co.uk/pbdla.pdfCadejo Brewery: http://www.cervezacadejo.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
August Around the World continues, this time in the bigger of the oceans! You know the one.Jake begins with cool rocks, just like you always hoped he would. Why? Because they’re what make up Nan Madol, a series of tiny, real nifty artificial islands in Micronesia built around a millennium ago! How exactly were they constructed, and why? IT’S A MYSTERY. And will white people ever give other cultures credit for their engineering chops? Not if this weather-controlling lost city has anything to say about it!Wyatt then takes one for the team (and fulfills a recent-ish promise) by finally giving an obligatory rundown on Rapa Nui. Also known as Easter Island, this bad boy’s got actually a lot of really cool and surprising history regarding its famous big ol’ heads. So stop thinking about yams and listen up!There’s plenty of world traveling still to come, so drop on by for this hour of Pacific island Superduperstitious fun!EPISODE LINKS“Masquatch” stickers: https://www.etsy.com/listing/851274835/masquatch-stickerMerch Shop: https://www.superduperstitious.com/shopPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/superduperstitiousFour Phantoms email: fourphantomsbeer@gmail.comFour Phantoms website: https://www.fourphantoms.net/Four Phantoms on Untappd: https://untappd.com/FourPhantoms/beerJake’s storyColumnar basalt: https://www.wired.com/2015/02/volcanoes-create-towering-columns-rock/(Important): https://youtu.be/yecJLI-GRuU?t=147Historic Mysteries article: https://www.historicmysteries.com/nan-madol/Khan Academy article (with photos): https://bit.ly/3aoOW9FSmithsonian Magazine article: https://bit.ly/3fRdMQlWyatt’s storyEaster Island: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/the-mystery-of-easter-island-151285298/Soil fertility: https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/mystery-easter-island-revealedFreshwater sources: https://phys.org/news/2019-01-ancient-mysteries-easter-island.html See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
This is our one hundred and eleventh episode. We are eleventy-one today! What better way to celebrate than to kick off AUGUST AROUND THE WORLD!The first stop on this month-long journey is the Middle East, or rather, the Greater Middle East, beginning with an upright hairy hominid tale from Mr. Shell. Did somebody say, “On brand”? Or perhaps they said “Barmanu”? Either way, this trip across Afghanistan and Pakistan in the footsteps of a departed Spanish cryptozoologist truly does involve boobies.Jake then defies expectation by NOT talking about ghuls/ghouls – and then 1000% meets expectation by trawling Reddit.

Space. The eventual thing we sometimes get around to. These are stories from the podcast Superduperstitious. Their infinite-year mission: to give up on this bit halfway through the paragraph. Just listen to the thing.After a frankly embarrassing 54 episodes (the span, not the episodes), the boys are finally talking about outer space again! Specifically, stuff being built out there. Jake leads the way with the very earnest beliefs of a fella who just can’t take “no, those are visual artifacts because the photos are almost 60 years old” for an answer. Wyatt then journeys to the very catchily named KIC 8462852, where weird light stuff has been happening. Could it be a whole shitload of floating dust? Or could it perhaps be the work of the most insufferable British appliance company of all time?Buckle in, Planet Hunter, and get ready for giant Martian Boy Scouts, ploonets, and the definitive answer to an 80-episode-long mystery – all on a brand new ep of Superduperstitious!EPISODE LINKSKeep up the fight: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/Merch Shop: https://www.superduperstitious.com/shopPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/superduperstitiousFour Phantoms email: fourphantomsbeer@gmail.comFour Phantoms website: https://www.fourphantoms.net/Four Phantoms on Untappd: https://untappd.com/FourPhantoms/beerJake’s storyNASA moon photo: https://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/images/print/AS11/42/6276.jpgAlien city on the moon: http://www.etdatabase.com/2020/06/alien-city-found-on-moon-in-nasa-photo.htmlLunar Orbiter photo gallery: https://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunarorbiter/Structures on the moon: https://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/p/under-construction-i-call-this-set-of.htmlExample photo #1: https://bit.ly/3fdLSxAExample photo #2: https://bit.ly/2CRxK09Example photo #3: https://bit.ly/30blekVScott’s website: https://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/Pocket knife on Mars: https://youtu.be/5GuqcCT82FoNASA’s shrinking budget: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/NASA-Budget-Federal.svgWyatt’s storyPlanet Hunters: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/457/4/3988/2589003TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/tabetha_boyajian_the_most_mysterious_star_in_the_universePloonets: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article-abstract/489/2/2313/5542731Syfy Wire: https://bit.ly/3hQiuQ0 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sometimes, pseudoscience and conspiracy theories are just some goofy, harmless fun. This is not one of those times.Today’s episode is all about giving due diligence to some big names in fringe medical “science” whose dangerous misinformation has caused lasting harm. Meet Andrew Wakefield, the British former doctor who is the sole reason anyone has ever believed in a link between vaccines and autism. How did he reach that conclusion? By lying. For money. Joining him is Judy Mikovits, retrovirus enthusiast who decided to yes-and Wakefield’s work by linking vaccines not only with autism, but with CFS and just about every imaginable cancer, too. Her secret? Also lying.It’s a fraud free-for-all, with some helpful vax facts to boot — all on this week’s Superduperstitious!EPISODE LINKSMerch Shop: https://www.superduperstitious.com/shopPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/superduperstitiousFour Phantoms email: fourphantomsbeer@gmail.comFour Phantoms pickup location: https://burgybrews.hrpos.heartland.us/Four Phantoms on Untappd: https://untappd.com/FourPhantoms/beerWyatt’s storiesAndrew Wakefield: https://bit.ly/2WZTM6XRefuting Wakefield #1: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136032/Refuting Wakefield #2: https://bit.ly/3cD4UwXRefuting Wakefield #3: https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD004407.pub4/fullJake’s storyJudy Mikovits (fake bio): https://scientists4wiredtech.com/dr-judy-mikovits-primer/Mikovits (real bio): https://retractionwatch.com/2020/05/06/who-is-judy-mikovits/Donate to the Autistic Self Advocacy Network: https://bit.ly/2ydVp8x See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Remember that time in Episode 62 when Wyatt and Jake picked three random creatures apiece to take turns talking about? Yeah, neither do they. So it’s weird artifacts time instead, and not as many of them!This week, Wyatt’s got a mysterious manuscript and a forgotten language, while Jake describes a weird hammer and struggles to pronounce Aztec names. Presenting the Codex Gigas, the coolest giant old book since the Voynich manuscript, but also older! And don’t get us started on the London Hammer. Is it 100-million-year-old proof of human civilization? 400-million-year-old? And does that make it also proof that the Earth is NOT old? Don’t expect to find any answers on Easter Island, where the potential language Rongorongo remains indecipherable beyond potential 1990s hit song lyrics.

Jake tackles underground spookums, while Wyatt gets a bit more metaphysical on this week’s ep.

We humans sure do make a lotta STUFF, and we like scary stories, so naturally there are plenty of scary stories ABOUT stuff. That’s right, it’s antiquing time on this episode of Superduperstitious!For starters, Jake has the tale of a weird wooden idol found in the Catskill Mountains that seems to be attached to some kind of evil entity. Is The Crone really up to no good and all the time conjuring pond water and shit out of the blue? What, really, is it’s DEAL?Wyatt then slowly cranks up the creeps with a series of cursed paintings, each more unpleasant than the previous. From a flameproof Crying Boy that WAY too many people own, to two successive paintings that have no excuse for existing, the world of household art seems to for sure be a weird place. And maybe the whole justification for eBay’s existence.Ghost stories abound, unexplained occurrences inconvenience various art owners, and Wyatt and Jake reveal a shameful secret about themselves, all in this brand new ep!EPISODE LINKSMerch Shop: https://www.superduperstitious.com/shopPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/superduperstitiousJake’s storyOriginal Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/408hde/me_and_a_friend_found_this_creepy_statue_while/Photos of The Crone: http://imgur.com/a/IiFo9Reply from u/nuekerk: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/408hde/me_and_a_friend_found_this_creepy_statue_while/cysy3to/Followup post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/4rkz4x/remember_those_hikers_who_found_the_cursed_statue/Episode 9: https://www.superduperstitious.com/episodes/9-bek-2-the-childreneningCurse of the Crone: http://weekinweird.com/2016/07/02/the-crone-of-the-catskills-this-cursed-carving-brings-visits-from-a-terrifying-paranormal-entity/Video 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ2PJv5LnLAVideo 2: http://weekinweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/13576492_10154662388635730_1958135138_n.gifWyatt’s storyThe Crying Boy Pinterest page: https://www.pinterest.com/jodisue333/the-crying-boy/The story of The Crying Boy: https://exemplore.com/paranormal/The-Crying-BoyCrying Boy fire video: https://youtu.be/AyRL-yIIVH0The Hands Resist Him: http://latenighthorrorhotel.blogspot.com/2010/06/hands-resist-him-real-or-fiction-we-try.htmlThe Anguished Man: http://weekinweird.com/2012/11/27/mail-bag-torturous-cries-the-anguished-man/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It’s adventure time once again on Superduperstitious, but that doesn’t mean that those adventures have to have any firm grounding in REALITY.After a quick UK check-in with some genuine archaeological coolness, Wyatt heads to Arizona's Superstition Mountains to examine the Legend of the Lost Dutchman. Sure, all evidence of this particular goldmine is 1000% apocryphal, but why would that stop multiple real people from dying actual deaths in their attempts to find it? This is GOLD we’re talking about!Jake then takes things unintentionally nearby to the Grand Canyon, where, it turns out, all ancient civilizations came from. You want Egyptian mummies? You got ‘em! A generic mishmash of a dozen or more distinct eastern and southern Asian cultures? Coming right up! A whole bunch of scientists in 1909 studying these incredible finds while avoiding a haunted snake pit? Check. It’s all for sure a real thing that happened, and that’s why we all remember it so well!Start reconciling those geological discrepancies, watch out for snipers, and settle in to yet another fine ep o’ Superduperstitious!EPISODE LINKSMerch Shop: https://www.superduperstitious.com/shopPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/superduperstitiousChicago Pizza Tours: https://www.chicagopizzatours.com/Chicago Prohibition Tours: https://www.prohibitiontours.com/Wyatt’s storyHavering Hoard news: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2020/feb/10/french-bracelet-among-surprises-in-mysterious-havering-hoardSuperstition Mountains: https://www.superstitionmountain.com/History-of-the-Superstition-Mountains-13C19.htmlLegend of the Lost Dutchman: https://azstateparks.com/lost-dutchman/explore/the-dutchmanMore Lost Dutchman: https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/63-a-map-to-the-lost-dutchman-gold-mineJake’s storyArizona Gazette article: http://www.spiritofmaat.com/archive/nov2/gazette.htmIncredibly reputable source: https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/egipto/esp_egipto_grandcanyon01.htmMore of that: https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_orionzone_8c.htmSmithsonian myths: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/urban-legends-about-the-smithsonian-135407460/Grand Canyon caves and karst: https://www.nps.gov/grca/learn/nature/cave.htm See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Mountains: you can be on them, near them, and maybe even under them if things aren’t going great for you. Here’s an ep about that!Jake’s up first, with both a PSA about not believing every viral video you see AND a story about ghostly experiences in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Is The Presence of Mount Washington real, or are people just freaking themselves out on a windy peak? Nail down a pair of boots and find out!Following an especially visceral round of Shadowlands Roulette, Wyatt describes the Sheppton Mine disaster, complete all the popes that were definitely there and the Louises who definitely weren’t. But who among us hasn’t wanted to make at least A FEW burgers out of our friends and coworkers, I mean REALLY.What even are release dates, anyway? Nobody knows!

Listener stories are always welcome at Superduperstitious, but not without raising the immortal question: are these stories GOOD?Listener Nick Smith kindly provides a pair of personal accounts of the spooky, so Wyatt and Jake kindly provide feedback on their quality, since that’s what Nick was surely wanting. And they of course achieve this by comparing to some top notch stories from the Website of Only Good Writing, Reddit!Wyatt begins by revisiting sleep paralysis. From ticked off Anubises to cuckolding ghosts, this segment’s got it all. Jake then goes Full Pedantic™ with grammar as he looks into some haunted house happenings.

The Boiz are back, just as you’ve always known them and going by that one name you’ve always called them!Thanks to a listener suggestion, this week is one full of not-quite-vampires, and their amazing similarities across cultures! After a positively thrilling update from the show’s official Field Correspondent, Jake starts with the Aswang, one of several billion terrifying mythological creatures to come out of the Philippines. Although both Jake and Wyatt learn that they had totally the wrong idea about what the Aswang is, they are able to at least continue to be creeped out by that damned tongue. So I guess fetuses are safe for now?Wyatt then turns to Romania, not for your standard Transylvanian fare, but instead for some background on the strigoi, a pre-vampire with far more complicated rules and apparently much more involved methods of disposal. And thankfully, there is hope that these undead creeps may become functioning members of society again (at least once they stop stealing cattle).Keep away from any lickholes in your domicile and be prepared to pry open your dead loved ones with a pitchfork while you tune in to another fun episode of Superduperstitious!EPISODE LINKSMerch Shop: https://www.superduperstitious.com/shopPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/superduperstitiousFirekiller Report: https://www.superduperstitious.com/field-reports/fire-killer-3Jake’s storyThe Aswang Project: https://www.aswangproject.com/what-is-an-aswang/The Culture Trip: https://theculturetrip.com/asia/philippines/articles/aswang-the-terrifying-vampire-ghouls-of-the-philippines/Aswang encounter: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/4bvk5q/my_encounter_with_an_aswang/Wyatt’s storyPetre Toma account: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/jun/19/theobserverStrigoi: https://science.howstuffworks.com/science-vs-myth/strange-creatures/vampire3.htm See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It’s a brand new year! And what better way for Superduperstitious to start that year than by biting off more than it (or at least Jake) can chew?That’s right, the boys have lost their entire minds and brought you a full FORTY stories throughout one ludicrously jam-packed TWO-HOUR episode, all in overzealous service to a convoluted “2020” theme. You want ghosts? Crawlers? Sasquatches? Gnomes?! They’re all here, baby. And if this ep doesn’t scare you, it’ll at least astonish you with how quickly it loses its way.

What was meant to be a Boxing Day episode is now a day later, but you know what? It’s still all winter stories, friend!After another installment in the endless tide of Chicago bat goofness, Jake finally yields some ape ground with a few yeti accounts. He may be pretty damned skeptical of it all, but perhaps there is SOME plausibility in them thar hills. However, a bunch of big fish stories from a bunch of overexcited Europeans is ALWAYS something to take with a bunch of grains of salt.Wyatt then takes a page out of Jake’s book and turns to Reddit for some backyard spooks. What horrible shadow creature has glowing yellow eyes and can glide through snow toward your back porch? Could it be a horny mountain lion?This ep is full of goose flesh, people on mountains indistinctly seeing other people on mountains, and all the moose howls you could ask for.

Finally, an episode in December! Is it any surprise that it’s about cryptids?After a lengthy but important update on the Phantom of the Chicago, Wyatt kicks off with the tale of Zana, a supposed ape woman held captive in the most difficult to pronounce reaches of the 19th-century Western Caucasus. Was she really a bipedal ape creature, or were these people just HOLY SHIT THE MOST RACIST MONSTERS IMAGINABLE? Could the answer possibly be anything BUT the latter?Jake then gets German with the Rat King, a ball o’ rat phenomenon believed to occur all the damned time. But are rats REALLY as gross as people want to believe? And are they that bad at being alive and not fusing together?

It’s Thanks-friggin-giving, and Wyatt and Jake are thankful for one thing above all else — being together again in the same room! The most obvious way to celebrate this is of course by telling some vaguely holiday-appropriate stories, so that happens.After some much-needed bat updates, Jake hits us with a pair of paranormal accounts that kinda sorta maybe REFERENCE Thanksgiving? Whatever. Just watch out for disappearing, creepy kids in red shirts and horrific, inhuman, staggering grey masses that whisper to you at night.Wyatt heads in another direction entirely, with the history of the fringe Christian belief in the rapture. Are all the good folks gonna get poofed away? Why come everyone don’t believes that? The answers to some of that and more can all be found in this binder (and these twelve thumb drives).Keep eating stuffing and NEVER, EVER STOP — it’s Superduperstitious time!EPISODE LINKSMerch Shop: https://www.superduperstitious.com/shopPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/superduperstitiousKaty’s work: https://www.instagram.com/after_artist_/Jake’s storyFirst story: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/bi0cv2/the_red_man/Second story: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/dp9yn7/old_gray_thing/Creepy artwork: https://imgur.com/KwKaOBiWyatt’s storyThe rapture: https://psmag.com/news/why-are-so-many-christians-obsessed-with-predicting-the-raptureMarsha Kuhnley’s books: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/19656617.Marsha_KuhnleyRapture binders: http://marshakuhnley.com/category/make-a-binder/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
They’re apes. We KNOW. But how often do you hear anyone say “aping around”? I mean REALLY.But yeah! It’s an ape ep for the ages. Wyatt leads off with the story of De Loys’ Ape, and the spooky photo that gave it such staying power. Are there really giant, bipedal humanoid primates lurking in the forests of South America? Just as surely as humans from different continents somehow evolved from different species! (No.)Jake then hops on the hominid fraud train with Piltdown Man, the U.K.’s unfortunate contribution to a European paleontological pissing contest. Sometimes, if you’re looking hard enough for a Missing Link, you’ll accept ANY EVIDENCE that suggests you found it. Even if it comes from a non-scientist known for faking shit.Cut the tail off a monkey, slap some unrelated bones together, and tune on into a history- and science-filled episode of Superduperstitious!EPISODE LINKSMerch Shop: https://www.superduperstitious.com/shopPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/superduperstitiousBlue-headed black bear: https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Blue_Headed_Black_BearWyatt’s storyDe Loys’ Ape: https://bigfootbase.com/blog/geologists-odd-ape-history-de-loys-apeBreaking down the fraud: http://bit.ly/2riz7hXJake’s storyScience Magazine article: http://bit.ly/2OafMszBBC article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/archaeology/piltdown_man_01.shtmlRoyal Society article: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.160328Wyatt’s Royal Society article: https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2019.1815 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Canine-adjacent stories keep piling up, so it’s time to release the hounds! Except the “hounds” are those aforementioned stories, and “releasing” them is telling them. It’s good!This week, you’ll hear a series of encounters with mysteries dog-looking things, mostly on the side of the road at night, including Wyatt’s own experience! Then, you’ll tuck into a ghastly tale of douchebags and coal furnaces, complete with audio accompaniment. And rest assured, you’ll get a very important PSA about responsible cat ownership, and learn Jake’s least favorite internet zeitgeist-y way of referring to this overall genre.Pennsylvania listeners, hold onto your butts!
