Are there locations on Earth where the fabric of our reality is dangerously thin? This week, we investigate the paranormal investigation of two of the world’s most infamous portals to Hell.

We begin our journey in the Czech Republic at the legendary Houska Castle (Hrad Houska). Known as the "Architecture of the Damned," this 13th-century Bohemian fortress was built with a terrifying structural anomaly: its defensive walls face inward. We explore the occult history of the site, from the Nazi occultism experiments of the SS to the chapel built as a "lid" over a supposedly bottomless pit filled with demonic entities.

Then, we travel to the American Midwest to uncover the urban legends of Stull Cemetery, Kansas. Often cited as a real-life Hellmouth, this small plot in Douglas County is surrounded by stories of vanishing churches and hidden stairways to the underworld. Whether you call them thin places, liminal spaces, or a gateway to Hell, the legends of Stull, Kansas and Houska suggest that some doors were never meant to be opened.

Join us as we discuss the supernatural lore, the strange "Oz Effect" of total silence, and the ancient mysteries of the places where the veil finally rips.

One is breaking her vows; the other is breaking the scale. This week, we’re diving into the wildest headlines on the wire. First, we track the mysterious case of a nun who ditched the convent for a life on the lam—proving that "Sister Act" was more of a documentary than we thought.

Then, we meet the absolute unit of the avian world: a wild owl so "chonky" it literally couldn't fly. Find out how local rescuers put this feathered bowling ball on a strict cardio regimen to get her back in the sky. It’s an episode full of flight risks, fast food, and forbidden freedom.
