Buckle up, because today we’re diving into the deep end of the weird history and bizarre true crime pool. First, we head to California to discuss the viral, skin-crawling case of the California Butt Sniffer—the prowler that left a neighborhood in shock and the internet in stitches.

Then, we travel back to 1932 for the most embarrassing military defeat in human history: The Great Emu War. Discover how the Australian Army, armed with machine guns and thousands of rounds of ammo, somehow lost a war to a bunch of flightless birds. It’s a tale of guerrilla emu tactics, Lewis gun jams, and the absolute absurdity of nature.

Warning: This episode contains high levels of confusion, bird-based military strategy, and questionable backyard behavior.

From salmon pizza lures to knocking on coffin lids, this episode is a roller coaster. We’re covering the New Zealand seal that invaded a craft beer bar and the Thai woman who survived a near-cremation after being declared dead. Stick around for our personal shenanigans as we try to make sense of a week that felt like a fever dream.

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.
