The Frogman

The Choir
Perhaps some people are born lucky. . . and then there are others, who have singular experiences that can be described as, well, miracles. That seems to have been the case for fifteen people in a small Nebraska town in 1950. * We have learned that there is an alternative pronunciation for the word "Beatrice" which, while we are studious researchers, it did not even occur to us to look up. We are so very sorry. You do not need to email us. Or you can. But just send us a picture of Bigfoot.* Pre order Laurah's book LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Sources on our website: https://www.onestrangethingpodcast.com/ Join us on Patreon for early release and ad-free episodes, exclusive stories, and bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/OneStrangeThing Find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/OSTPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onestrangethingpod/ and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/One-Strange-Thing-114307627035607 Written and Hosted by Laurah Norton Researched by Michaela Morrill with additional research by Laurah Norton Engineered and Scored by Chaes Gray Produced and Script-edited by Maura Currie Copyright One Strange Thing Podcast LLC 2022

The Highway
The U.S. has many purportedly haunted highways; one is Florida's I-4, sometimes known as the most dangerous in the country, has a small stretch in Seminole County known as "The Dead Zone. . ." and the name refers to more than its proclivity for disrupting cell phones and CB radios.
