Like your coat in the fridge or ice cream in your closet? How did you manage to get that stuff in such wrong places? What if you found a 1920s spark plug in a half-million-year-old geode or an aluminum wedge next to 10,000-year-old mastodon bones? These would be much more difficult to explain and yet these items have been found. In this episode we’re talking about out of place artifacts.

Many believe some have genuinely had the gift of prognostication. People have been obsessed with French physician Nostradamus’ prophecies for 500 years. More recently, the oft-referenced animated show ‘The Simpsons’ has been touted as the modern Nostradamus. Is second sight a thing? Or do we believe what we want to believe?

In the series, cordyceps evolve to spawn a zombie pandemic but is this more than science fiction? While nothing of this magnitude is likely to happen, the fungus ergot has been cited as the possible cause of an event in 1951 where many people in a small town had some pretty intense hallucinations after eating bread made from questionable flour. Ergot is also a possible explanation for the 1518 Dancing Plague in Strasbourg where it is said hundreds of people were comp...2024-03-1130 minThe Some Weird PodcastThe Some Weird PodcastBonus *Remastered* Sleep Paralysis: The Old HagNo brand new episode this week.

It’s great entertainment! But there are some real people who claim to possess actual superpowers. In this episode, we look are two such superpowers: human magnetism and infallible recall.

In this episode we are talking about a couple of these unique and questionable postmortem decisions.

I can remember having a dream where I was sitting in class in my elementary school and I heard the bells of the church that was next door ringing only to wake and realize that my real-life alarm clock was going off (probably longer than it should have). It’s pretty common for things happening in real life to affect things happening in the dream life.
