The Angel

A cemetery in Iowa City is famous — not really for anyone laid to rest there, but for a statue. The Black Angel is mysterious and otherworldly — and her metamorphosis, both physical and in legend, leaves us with a lot of questions.  Order Laurah’s book, LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Hosted by Laurah Norton Research by Maura Currie and Anna Luria  Written and Produced by Maura Currie Engineered by Brandon Schexnayder  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 You can also subscribe to premium episodes on Apple Premium and Supercast!

The Devil

The Pine Barrens of Southern New Jersey gave birth to one of America’s most famous cryptids—a beast known as the Leeds Devil. Of course, you might be more familiar with the moniker “The Jersey Devil”—whether or not you know much of the history of how the creature has come to haunt the northeastern imagination.  Order Laurah’s book, LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Hosted and written by Laurah Norton Research by Laurah Norton and Anna Luria  Produced by Maura Currie Engineered by Brandon Schexnayder  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 You can also subscribe to premium episodes on Apple Premium and Supercast!

Tristan Redman is a journalist who doesn’t believe in ghosts. But weird things happened in his teenage bedroom – weirder than normal. When, years later, he discovers subsequent occupants of his family home say they have been visited by the ghost of a faceless woman, he’s curious. It just so happens that the house Tristan grew up in is right next door to the house where his wife’s great grandmother, Naomi Dancy, was murdered – killed by two gunshots to the face. Could there be a connection? Tristan decides to investigate and soon finds himself where no son-in-law should ever be: delving deep into his wife’s family history asking questions no-one wants answered.  Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios present Ghost Story — a seven-part podcast series about family secrets, overwhelming coincidence, and the things that come back to haunt us.

The Witch

The Bell family was prominent and well-liked by their neighbors in Robertson County, Tennessee. So when an apparent spirit manifested in the Bell home, people believed them. And when that so-called witch pivoted from conjuring snacks to causing young lovers to break up, and a patriarch to pass away suddenly… people had questions.

Introducing Southern Gothic

Step into the world of the unknown and unravel the dark history, and infamous legends of the American South. Join our friend Brandon as he journeys into the heart of this rich and fascinating region, uncovering its ghostly stories, haunted places, and eeriest tales through captivating storytelling, in-depth historical research, and an immersive audio soundscape. From the Bell Witch of Tennessee to the haunted Waverly Hills Sanatorium, the ghostly tales of the Myrtles Plantation, the Curse of Lake Lanier and beyond, get ready for an unforgettable experience that brings history to life and uncovers the truth behind classic tales of the paranormal. We're thrilled to share part of an episode of Southern Gothic with you today, and we think you'll love it: The Baynard Mausoleum is the oldest surviving structure on Hilton Head Island, but eerily, the family once interred inside is no longer there. Now, after a century of vandalism and treasure hunters has taken its toll, we attempt to explore the local lore that has sprung up to give this unique tomb a romantic origin story.

The Clown Motel

NOTE: Though one of us is a NV resident, we are now hearing that there are two pronunciations of Tonopah, and the one we originally used is not preferred. It has been corrected! Delete the episode and re-download if you hear the wrong Tonopah and feel the urge to email us. A few hours outside Las Vegas, there’s a truly unique — and kind of alarming — motel. If you’ve driven through the vast, empty desert for too long, and need a place to shack up for a night or two, we know a spot… that is, if you’re cool with clowns. But that’s not all the Clown Motel has in store.

Classic Episode: The Lizardman

A release of our 2022 episode featuring the Lizardman: A rural South Carolina town is struck by cryptid fever in the form of a seven-foot-tall lizard with a taste for cars. . . specifically, for chewing on them. Once a local teenager is chased down by the Lizardman, locals all over Bishopville and the greater Lee County area spot lizard tracks and possible Lizardman attacks. But is it all just a hoax? Or, perhaps, the work of another cryptid altogether?  Pre-order Laurah’s book, LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Written, Hosted, and Researched by Laurah Norton Additional Research by Bryan Worters Produced and Engineered by Maura Currie  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 You can also subscribe to premium episodes on Apple Premium and Supercast!
