    The Hex Hollow Curse
    Apr 24 2026
    Brittany Barbieri explores a chilling 1928 true crime case from Hex Hollow, Pennsylvania. Nelson Rehmeyer, believed to practice “powwow” folk magic, was murdered by John Blymire and two accomplices, who were convinced he had cursed them. After beating and strangling Rehmeyer, they burned his body in an attempt to break the supposed curse. The men later confessed without remorse, believing their actions were justified. Brittany examines the blurred line between superstition and the supernatural, encouraging listeners to question historical narratives and think critically about belief-driven violence.

  • The Handprint of the Holy Soul

    The Handprint of the Holy Soul
    Apr 17 2026
    Brittany Barbieri explores The Handprint of the Holy Soul, a supernatural case from 1859 Italy. After the nun Sister Teresa Justa died suddenly, she reportedly appeared to a fellow sister, leaving a scorched handprint on a convent door as proof of her existence in purgatory. Brittany connects this story to similar historical accounts, including those associated with Rome’s Museum of the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Drawing from her Catholic upbringing and passion for the supernatural, she encourages listeners to remain open-minded about the afterlife and the possibility that the dead may communicate through physical signs.

    The Legend of the Moon-Eyed People
    Apr 10 2026
    In this episode of Get Weird, host Brittany Barbieri explores the Cherokee legend of the Moon-Eyed People—pale, nocturnal beings with light-sensitive eyes who allegedly inhabited the Appalachian Mountains before the Cherokee arrived. She examines historical accounts and theories about their origins, including albinism, ancient tribes, or even non-human entities, while drawing connections to similar legends around the world. Brittany emphasizes the importance of respecting Indigenous oral histories rather than dismissing them as mere folklore, encourages scientific open-mindedness, and suggests these beings may still exist, having evolved to remain hidden from humanity.
