Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This week, your Curator Zach is helping you avoid bad luck?
Ever catch yourself pausing at a ladder, hesitating over a mirror at night, or flicking salt over your shoulder without thinking? We follow those tiny instincts back to their roots and find practical safety tips, ancient theology, battlefield math, and the human need to feel in control.
Through it all, we kee...
Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This Week, Curator Kara will be separating our souls from our bodies!
Astral projection didn’t just appear with candles and a playlist. We pull the thread through time to see how humans learned to imagine the self as detachable, mobile, and returnable, then tried to turn that idea into practice. From Egypt’s Ba, a bird-headed emblem of movement, to the Zoroastrian Ard...
Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This Week we are opening the doors and sharing YOUR stories back to you!
We start off with Joe's story of his childhood house filled with monsters, shadows and so much more.
Then Danny kicks it into high gear with his recorded story of a truly haunted doll...That may have even tried to kill him.

Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This week, your Curator Zach is taking us to the center of the earth!
We turn our attention below our feet and follow a breathtaking trail through ancient myth, Enlightenment science, wartime secrets, and modern UFO lore to ask whether an advanced civilization could be thriving inside the Earth.
Greek gateways to the underworld, Mayan cenotes lined with ritua...
Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This Week, Curator Kara is taking us under the Sea and into the Stars.
A quiet harbor. Four steady lights on the water. Yellow foam blooming across the surface as something descends without a splash. We revisit the Shag Harbor incident of 1967—not as a dusty legend, but as a near‑perfect template for how we think about USOs and transmedium craft today. No wreckage. No...
Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This week, your Curator Zach is going to keep you up at night
The clock flips to 3:00 and the room feels different, quieter, heavier, charged. Is that the veil thinning or just your brain finally quiet enough to notice what’s always there? We dive deep into the witching hour with a mix of curiosity, folklore, and hard science, asking whether 3 a.m. is truly a doorway...
Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This Week, Curator Kara has cult story that will make your skin crawl...with ants!
What happens when a childhood shaped by violence meets a hunger for absolute authority? We follow the rise and collapse of the Anthill Kids, the Canadian cult built by Roch Thériault, a man who reinvented himself as a prophet after being rejected by his church. He promised salvation th...
Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This week, your Curator Zach Is telling the dark tale of the plague!
Twelve ships slid into Messina’s harbor and history snapped. We follow the Black Death from its quiet beginnings in Central Asian rodents to the siege of Kaffa, where corpses were catapulted over walls and panic sailed for Sicily.
What arrived in 1347 was more than a disease; it was a trio of killer ...
Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This Week, Curator Kara has another movie review: "The Ring".
A voice counts to nine, pauses, and screams. That image pulls us from modern horror back to a legend that refuses to be quiet, as we explore the eerie thread connecting The Ring to the story of Okiku and the ten plates at Himeji Castle. We open with a simple question, if you were wronged and then ...

Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This Week, Curator Zach is Springing you into the New Year with some wild traditions
Midnight isn’t just a timestamp; it’s a thin place where old stories exhale and new ones rush in. We packed our bags and crossed borders to explore how different cultures welcome the year: by smashing plates, hanging onions, racing with suitcases, counting grapes to a chiming clock, r...
Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This Christmas, your Curator Kara is gifting us all a Michigan True Crime Story.
\We revisit the Michigan co-ed murders across Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti in the late 1960s, where a clean-cut college student hid behind charm and familiarity while women disappeared. This isn’t a lurid deep-dive into a killer’s mystique. It’s a careful retelling of the victims’ lives, the w...
Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This week, your Curator Zach has a Dark Christmas Cannibal Legend.
Somewhere in the borderlands between France and Germany a scarecrow waits by the road. We follow the threads of Hans Trapp, the “Christmas cannibal,” from his roots in the very real Hans von Trotha. A petty, powerful baron who feuded with an abbey and defied the Pope, to the folklore figure who haunts ...
Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This week, your Curator Kara Has Gone Mad with Nellie Bly
We open the doors to Blackwell’s Island, once home to New York’s almshouse, workhouse, penitentiary, and the infamous asylum, and follow the razor‑sharp path of Elizabeth Jane Cochrane, better known as Nellie Bly, whose undercover reporting forced the public to look straight at what it wanted to ignore. From th...

Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This week, your Curator Zach has a Tale of Madison Ohios Haunted Seminary.
Step into the seminary’s timeline: a mid-1800s school that became a Civil War refuge, a home for veterans and nurses under the Ohio Women’s Relief Corps, and later a patchwork of care facilities, government offices, and a work-release site. Each era left a distinct emotional charge, from classr...
Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This week, your Curator Kara is Cracking into the Fox Sister's Story.
Two sisters who turned raps in the dark into a movement that rewrote how we grieve. We follow Maggie and Kate Fox from Hydesville’s tiny room to roaring theaters, where audiences asked questions and the walls answered back. As their older sister Leah took the reins, seances spread across Americ...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
