Strange Origins

The Bermuda Triangle is an area of Earth shrouded in mystery. Join me as I dive into the deep waters and learn about the history of where exactly the Triangle garnered its name and how it’s had a reputation as a dangerous spot for longer than you might think. Oh yeah, and I talk about aliens, ghost ships, and wormholes a little bit. Don't forget a life jacket! For more info on me and my podcasts please visit FascinatingPodcasts.com.

A Note Of Warning: The topic I discuss this week may not be suitable for listeners under the age of 13. Did you know real human skeletons were cheaper than fake ones in the 1980s? Or that theaters began handing out barf bags to viewers of the Exorcist? Join me as I dive down the rabbit hole of haunted media. I mostly talk about haunted film sets, but I also scratch the surface of subliminal messaging, ARGs, and even Satanic Panic *I butcher the word Giardiasis in this episode. *Check out The Last Movie by Pacific Northwest Stories - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-last-movie/id1360493241 For more info on me and my podcasts please visit FascinatingPodcasts.com.

A Note Of Warning: The topic I discuss this week may not be suitable for listeners under the age of 13 due to themes of sexuality. From black cats to magic cauldrons the strangest part of this episode is actually the fact that naughty monks may have caused the sensational witch hunts that killed millions. Oh yeah, and I also dive into the history of the male witch, the warlock. Join me as I throw a few names at you may not have heard of in the history of witchcraft, and explain the lore behind those that everyone seems all too well acquainted with.  For more info on me and my podcasts please visit FascinatingPodcasts.com.

Do you know which Loa from Haitian Voodoo keeps zombies from rising from the grave? Do you know how many people have died from war just in the last century?

A Note Of Warning: The topic I discuss this week may not be suitable for listeners under the age of 13.  This week I delve into the strange things that have fallen from the sky. Whether it’s organic, like the blood rains that have showered down on funeral parties, or the unexplainable blobs of jelly that supposedly come from falling stars, it’s all pretty equally weird. Beware before you listen: this episode will have you looking up at the sky wondering just what will rain down on you next.  For more info on me and my podcasts please visit FascinatingPodcasts.com.

A Note Of Warning: The topic I discuss this week may not be suitable for listeners under the age of 13.  For the first episode of season three of Strange Origins, I deep dive into the history behind Zombies. From werewolf/vampire/ghoul hybrids to the shores of Haiti, the idea of what zombies are has taken on a thousand different forms. That was, until the golden age of monster movies and Hollywood horror, where zombies became something more than flesh-eating, slow-walking creatures from the grave.  This week also features a trailer for the podcast Keep It Weird. Be sure to check them out if you crave even more spooky stories in your earbuds! Follow them @ Keepitweirdcast on Instagram.  For more info on me and my podcasts please visit FascinatingPodcasts.com.

*A note of warning: the topic I discuss this week may not be suitable for listeners under the age of 13.  Souls are a tricky subject. If they do exist, where are they, what are they, and can they be stolen? According to mythology, the answer is yes. From Frog-Men to burning heads stuck in a flying wheel, to the origin of the myth that cats have nine lives, this Strange Origin is especially strange. (Sidenote: I mispronounce Cat Sith in this episode. It’s actually pronounced Ket Shee. Celtic languages are difficult.)  For more info on me and my podcasts please visit FascinatingPodcasts.com.

The world of psychics is a doozy. This week I dive into the strange lives of Mediums, (or rather people who refer to themselves as Mediums.) From the Egyptians to murdered hobos in Spiritualist hotbeds, to mud baths prescribed by a man under hypnosis, psychic activity can get pretty weird.  For more info on me and my podcasts please visit FascinatingPodcasts.com.

*A note of warning: the topic I discuss this week may not be suitable for listeners under the age of 13. Would you ever climb a set of stairs you found in the woods? What do you think would happen if you got to the top?  This week I dive into the history behind this strange phenomenon and seem to come out with more questions than answers. From missing person cases to alien abductions, could the stairs in the woods be responsible? According to Reddit, the answer is yes.  For more info on me and my podcasts please visit FascinatingPodcasts.com.
