SuperduperstitiousEpisode 143 – Baby That's ScaryThis week’s episode features luminous ghost children and a bunch of visual content presented in an audio medium. We’re good at this!Jake explores the night vision horribleness of modern day baby monitors and the many ghosts they capture on camera, but first, Wyatt examines what is so far the phenomenon most likely to get this show cancelled.

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 130 – Strange Phenomena (Including but Not Limited to: Lights)Spook lights, baby! That’s the name of the game this week.After an Oumuamua update from Wyatt, Jake ventures to the Mekong River for some fireballs that are either being puked up by a giant snake, stirred up by the river itself, faked for tourism purposes – OR PERHAPS ALL THREE. Wyatt then follows up on a listener lead for some equally intriguing flying light balls in Missouri. Find out some but most definitely not all of the answers to what the deal is with those!Last one to the new ep is a Rotten...

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 128 – Home State Horrors (Part 1 of 25+)This week’s episode asks the question on all our minds: Is ideas bread?The boys tell tales from their own home states to kick off a new recurring segment: Home State Horrors! Over the next eighty years or so, Superduperstitious is gonna cover all 50 U.S. states, plus probably some other places, too! In this initial installment, Wyatt and Jake learn some exciting news about their blood.Jake leads the way with accounts of the Wood Devils of Coos County, NH (even though he’s not from New Hampshire), and then Wyatt disc...

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 125 – Happy Butterversary!The start of a new year means some time talk on Superduperstitious!After a bit of rambling that might be more appropriate in a different, more popular genre of podcast (the lucrative road not traveled), the boys dig into some stories that roughly fulfill the prompt of “it is now a different year than it was”. For Wyatt, this means tales from alleged time travelers! And for Jake, an annual Arkansas NYE tradition of having a bunch of dead birds fall from the sky.Could 2021 bring a much-needed fresh start after the horrors of 2...

(For the purposes of this description text, pretend that those three words rhyme.)After a truly surprising visit from a Spring Heeled old pal, Jake leads the way with more of what he does best: crawler bullshit. Cut him some slack – it’s Christmas! And this time it’s served with a tasty side of cave ecology.Wyatt then pays a FOURTH visit to a topic first covered three years and 119 episodes ago: sonic attacks. Even more unexpectedly, he finds himsel...

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 118 – Fear Factors Part I: The Quiet Peeing of the PantsWhat better way to kick off October than with another Superduperstitious Special Report! This edition seeks to answer the age old question: why come scary stories?Jake and Wyatt start this two-ep deep dive with a variety of sample ghost stories past and present, and a look at the cultural and psychological factors that contribute to humanity’s timeless love of being frightened. Listen along to hear two 30-somethings get creeped out by a children’s book, and to wonder why some guys who are SO EASILY SCARED by damned near anything would choose to host this...

This episode is about that!After a classic and arguably needless SDS PSA, Wyatt explains the German tradition of Feldgeister (“field spirits”), also known as Korndämonen. These corn demons are believed to be responsible for the wellbeing of each field’s crops, so you’d best respect them or you might get beaten with some boobs.Next, Jake rattles off a series of ghostly encounters from followers of the blog GaijinPot...

Except that they’re both featured in this week’s potpourri episode!After some Venusian news, Jake introduces Wyatt to Penelope, a horrific monster woman who roams the Sierra Nevada eating everyone and everything she can. Can radioactive waste really turn a car crash victim into a superwitch? Why the hell not!Wyatt then takes a trip down memory lane to the late ’80s and early ’90s, but use caution as you follow, dear listener: this Car...

Who CARES if the hosts aren’t in the same physical location as one another?Using the random coordinates suggested by the cryptic app, Wyatt and Jake tried their best to find stories tangentially related to what they found. All right, “best” is a strong word. But they certainly tried! Or, well… there are some stories, anyway? From the nosleep subreddit to famous cookie moguls, this episode runs the gamut of what qualifies as “audio content”. Spooky tales in the woods, a fair amount of honest to goodness history – there’s something for ever...

Jake, Derek, and Wyatt bring bullshit, history, and science, respectively, as they tackle all manner of Scandinavian spookums, including ghost kinks, un-animals, and surprise steamed hams.

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 113 – Not Your Granddaddy's NarwhalIn this installment of August Around the World, things are getting every bit as spooky and mythology-y (?) as they are Latin American!An extra-interrupty Jake infects Wyatt’s mind with cetacean madness while the latter tries to tell the tale of a shape-shifting monstrosity known for terrorizing dark corners of northern Mexico since pre-Columbian times. Said to be what happens when black magic practitioners turn themselves into hellish pseudo-animals, these naguales sure do have a colorful horoscope.Then, in a segment so connected you’d think it was planned that way even though thes...

Because they’re what make up Nan Madol, a series of tiny, real nifty artificial islands in Micronesia built around a millennium ago! How exactly were they constructed, and why? IT’S A MYSTERY. And will white people ever give other cultures credit for their engineering chops? Not if this weather-controlling lost city has anything to say about it!Wyatt then takes one for...

Their infinite-year mission: to give up on this bit halfway through the paragraph. Just listen to the thing.After a frankly embarrassing 54 episodes (the span, not the episodes), the boys are finally talking about outer space again! Specifically, stuff being built out there. Jake leads the way with the very earnest beliefs of a fella who just can’t take “no, those are visual artifacts because the photos are almost 60 years old” for an answer. Wyatt then journeys to the very c...

Jake’s up first, with a notorious lost American town that is… not really a big deal? It seems like?

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 105 – We Pick Three Minus One Equals Four: Items EditionRemember that time in Episode 62 when Wyatt and Jake picked three random creatures apiece to take turns talking about? Yeah, neither do they. So it’s weird artifacts time instead, and not as many of them!This week, Wyatt’s got a mysterious manuscript and a forgotten language, while Jake describes a weird hammer and struggles to pronounce Aztec names. Presenting the Codex Gigas, the coolest giant old book since the Voynich manuscript, but also older! And don’t get us started on the London Hammer. Is it 100-million-year-old proof of human civilization? 400-million-year-old? And does that m...

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 104 – The Mines of MorphiaListen, we’ve been over this before, but it bears repeating: not EVERY episode has to have a theme.Unless of course that theme is random crap! Jake tackles underground spookums, while Wyatt gets a bit more metaphysical on this week’s ep. We’re talking ghosts, we’re talking ghouls, we’re talking rats in Massachusetts making rats in Australia smarter for some reason. A delightful mix of ghost stories, some interesting biology, and a whole pile of steaming hot pseudoscience — we’ve got it all baby!Grab a pickaxe and exactly one hundred mo...

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 102 – Superstitions Part I: SuperstitiousnessIt’s Special Report time, mofos! And also long past time that the podcast looked into its namesake.That’s right: this latest two-parter is all about superstitions! And you’d be amazed how hard it is now to type that word normally, without the “duper”. In Part I, Jake covers good luck, Wyatt covers the bad, and they both hit the ugly. On the good luck side, it’s all about salt and how it can ward off evil! But not meta-demons, whatever the goddamned hell those are. Good times! Also: lucky snack bags in Taiwan.

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 101 – Classic InstantsIt’s a new beginning for this here podcast, which we assume means literally doing everything over again from the beginning.In this episode, Wyatt and Jake talk about their favorite cryptids, which they DEFINITELY HAVEN’T already talked about before and SURELY not in the first episode of this show. Rest assured: you’re guaranteed to learn new stuff this time around, like the fact that everything in history is somehow connected to Atlantis, and that when you see an unknown creature, you should check not only its genitals (as discussed many times by now), but al...

That’s right, it’s antiquing time on this episode of Superduperstitious!For starters, Jake has the tale of a weird wooden idol found in the Catskill Mountains that seems to be attached to some kind of evil entity. Is The Crone really up to no good and all the time conjuring pond water and shit out of the blue? What, really, is it’s DEAL?Wyatt then slowly cranks up the...

Sure, all evidence of this particular goldmine is 1000% apocryphal, but why would that stop multiple real people from dying actual deaths in their attempts to find it? This is GOLD we’re talking about!Jake then takes things unintentionally nearby to the Grand Canyon, where, it tur...

And they of course achieve this by comparing to some top notch stories from the Website of Only Good Writing, Reddit!Wyatt begins by revisiting sleep paralysis.

After a positively thrilling update from the show’s official Field Correspondent, Jake starts with the Aswang, one of several billion terrifying mythological creatures to come out of the Philippines.

He may be pretty damned skeptical of it all, but perhaps there is SOME plausibility in them thar hills. However, a bunch of big fish stories from a bunch of overexcited Europeans is ALWAYS something to take with a bunch of grains of salt.Wyatt then ta...

Was she really a bipedal ape creature, or were these people just HOLY SHIT THE MOST RACIST MONSTERS IMAGINABLE? Could the answer possibly be anything BUT the latter?Jake then gets German with the Rat King, a ball o’ rat phenomenon beli...

The most obvious way to celebrate this is of course by telling some vaguely holiday-appropriate stories, so that happens.After some much-needed bat updates, Jake hits us with a pair of paranormal accounts that kinda sorta maybe REFERENCE Thanksgiving? Whatever. Just watch out for disappearing, creepy kids in red shirts and horrific, inhuman, staggering grey masses that whisper to you at night.Wyatt heads in another direction entirely, with the history of t...

Just as surely as humans from different continents somehow evolved from different species!

Did their borehole really reach something infernal? The intense heat they encountered might have something to say about it, as would the screaming OH DEAR GOD THE SCREAMING. But also fact-checking is a thing, though surely that has no relevance here. At any rate, stay tuned for a surprise non-appearance...

And not just any frogs — it’s the Loveland Frogmen! Or possibly a weirdly upright iguana. But most likely a Sleestak.

Sadly, a lack of adequate technical consideration kept the habitat from realizing its full potential, and that’s how you get ants. And cockroaches. And almost suffocate everybody.Wyatt then...

What happens if you go toward the light? IS there really a light to go toward?

Meet the Enfield Horror, a creature of improbable anatomy and ill temper that terrorized a tiny Illinois town for a few weeks before vanishing forever, unless it’s still lurking there to this day (it’s not), because it was totally real the whole time (it wasn’t).

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 57 – Mist OpportunitiesIt’s a weird world out there, full of rocks and clouds that want to eat you. But you’ll be safe with us here on Superduperstitious!Wyatt talks up the Bennington Triangle, a decidedly non-triangular region in Vermont known for some creepy disappearances, with likely ties to the Big Bad Wolf and some lethal hugs. Never leave your children unattended while your pigs are unfed.Jake then reads another overwritten account of a kooky occurrence in Florida, but this time it involves a carnivorous pink mist floating around and eating everything. Nobody know...

But this episode aims to remedy that!Did you know that you can get a degree in intergalactic politics? Incidentally, did you also know that you can go on long weekend retreats to one of Jupiter’s moons? And did you know that humans are descended from 12 or more different extraterrestrial races? Jake didn’t know any of that, but if you believe it, he’s got a xendra to sell you!Wyatt then crank...

If you go down to the woods today, you’ll hear from two nerdy guys — it’s another forest-centered episode of Superduperstitous!Wyatt leads the way with some alarming encounters had by various survivalists in the great outdoors, and learns that Jake has terrible survival instincts. What would YOU do if your flashlight revealed the reflection of a pair of eyes in the darkness? Freeze in your tracks? Try to get closer? Poop?Next, Jake recounts some currently ongoing...

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 54 – The Shadow MansIt’s spooky in the bedroom once again on Superduperstitious! Jake leads off by describing an entity seen around the world by people who mostly just want to get some damned sleep. Who is the mysterious Hat Man? Why is he wearing a hat? What kind of hat is it? Were trench coats really THAT popular in the 1700s?Then, after a quick ethological look at the well known instinctive flight or fuck response, Wyatt asks for Jake’s help in rating a series of answers to the age old question, “Have you ever woken up random...

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 53 – The Phantom of the Chicago: Part a BillionHoly crap, it's another episode! This show truly is still a thing that exists. The boys have a lot of catching up to do together, and it involves revisiting some interesting past stories of the spooky and strange.For starters, Wyatt aims to put the Cuban sonic attack conspiracy to bed once and for all, but the plot insists on continuing to thicken. With so many technologies out there for microwaving heads and looking at babies (but ideally not for microwaving babies), it seems like anything could be possible. Or, again, maybe it's bugs.

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 52 – The Man from Another PlaceWe’re entering parallel universes and hidden worlds galore on this week’s episode of Superduperstitious! But probably not. But maybe!First we hear from Jake, with the story of a bizarre encounter in a Japanese airport in the 1950s. Flying was so much less strict back then: you didn’t have to take your shoes off when you went through security, you could smoke on the plane, and you could have a passport from a country that doesn’t exist (unfortunately, the latter MIGHT cause you to be detained and then to vanish into thin air).

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 50 – We Want to Believe Part I: PseudoHalfway to a hundred eps, and it’s time for the boys to bite the hand that feeds them with another two-part deep dive! Specifically, it’s a look at the pseudoscience behind everything this show is about. It’ll be fun!Wyatt kicks off Part I with some cryptozoology goodness. Whether it's reputable publications gleefully fanning the flames of belief, or fancy-ass websites touting their fancy-ass research tools, monster hunting has some major methodological mishaps. But at least they sell cool hats.Jake then takes things in a ghostlier direction with a look a...

This week, author, historian, folklorist, tour guide, and all-around cool person ROXIE ZWICKER joins the show to recount hauntings around Portsmouth, NH. That, and a story about a cow that will change your life forever.Wyatt then chimes in with his own dark tale of the Seacoast region, the Smuttynose murders (which is definitely not pre-recorded). While not quite supernatural itself, it’s still creepy and true-crime-y, and you people like that stuff, don’t you? Listen along to a story of betrayal and axe hackin’ — or, if you prefer...

If you want another whole elaborate, silly teaser thing, I'll write it, but like, you could just be listening already, you know? Fine.This week, Wyatt digs into the several-centuries-long mystery of Canada's Nova Scotia's Oak Island's Money Pit, also just called "The Oak Island Money Pit" apparently. What exactly the hell is buried down those hundreds of feet of now constantly flooded tunnel, and will it prove once and for all that Shakespeare's plays were originally written in Wingings?

Either way, they're sure gonna share it with you! But not before a long awaited update on those creepy bat monsters in the Chicago area — Jake walks us through Lon's overarching theory, and why that theory is so phantom-shit crazy as to ALMOST make these updates no fun anymore. ALMOST.Wyatt shares a first look at some of the Fearsome Critters with the legend of the Gumberoo, which is, if possible, actually EVEN dumber than its name might suggest. Wyatt an...

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 39 – Gullible's Travels Part I: Liar, Liar, Pants on WireHere at Superduperstitious, it's our goal to separate fact from stupid ol' poopy dumb stuff, but it's not always so simple. Sometimes phenomena can be all but completely debunked, and folk'll still cling to beliefs no matter how much evidence there is against them. To that end, it's time for another Superduperstitious Special Report!In the first installment of this two-parter, Wyatt talks up the disembodied pants that are the Fresno Nightcrawlers. Behold the 5 or 6 pixels of video evidence and decide for yourself if these legs are ALIEN legs! Jake then tries his hand at describing...

Both Jake and Wyatt independently and accidentally land on stories involving giant, creepy, wormlike creatures, and by some additional coincidence, these creatures also happen to both be found in the general vicinity of eastern Asia.First up is Jake with a deadly worm in the Gobi Desert, which either murders the crap out of anyone or anything unlucky enough to encounter it, or it's a different thing that doesn't do those things, or it doesn't exist. At least it won't interfere with your spice mining...

Or at least, that was the plan.Wyatt starts us off, covering a just kind of vaguely water-adjacent topic: a series of monsters in Australia that may all be one and the same, and not just in the "sticking them all together into one mess of an animal" way that some of the tales might suggest. Plus Jake invents the very worst cocktail and then conflates Irish and Scots Gaelic consonant pronunciations like some kind of IDIOT.As consolation, he offers the account of...

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 36 – Howlers, Whistlers, and Cabin SmashersThis week, it's an adventure into the woods for some ridiculous rigatoni! Jake leads Wyatt through the rambling yet flowery tale of "The Beast of the Land Between the Lakes and Specifically the Forest but in Kentucky", or whatever it's called. Never fear: a dozen or so coroners are here!Wyatt then follows up with a much more sober series of accounts dealing with a race of apelike creatures around Mount St. Helens over the range of a century. When in doubt, sing, damn it, sing! Though it won't make your cabin any less flammable.

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 35 – TerrordactylsIt would be a rare day indeed that Superduperstitious would fail to pay lip service to some ancient reptilian friends. Luckily, one such creature made it even easier by paying a visit of its own, in this case to the town of Van Meter, Iowa. Wyatt's got it covered, with a complete account of those strange few nights back at the turn of the century, along with a pretty good idea of what bees probably taste like.Then, another accursed round of Shadowlands Roulette hangs heavy on the boys' souls, but after a narrow escape, Jake...

In that case, it's time for some more auditory strangeness!Jake opens with talk of a persistent, mysterious rumbling heard all around the world — though only by 2% or so of the population. What is the source of The Hum? Is there any way to stop it? Does it just not know the lyrics or something? One harrowing game of Shadowlands Roulette later, Wyatt revisits the Cuban sonic attacks, which are still probably not so...

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 33 – There Are No MooseWithout a specific theme to this week's episode, ANYTHING can happen! But really just two things happen.Wyatt hits us with an abduction experience that he initially thought would be a Springheeled Jack encounter (Jack was of course too busy eating Scully Joes with the Devil to bother these specific fishermen in Mississippi). Don't believe the eyewitnesses? Just ask Puddin'! Puddin's dead now, but he was a fine man.Jake then relays three creepy, unique nighttime encounters with some horrifying monsters. Watch as white people jump to conclusions. All that, plus a listener's...

That's because this episode is full of chlorophyllic creepers and a whole dang family of Sasquatches!Out of the gates, Jake recounts a history of sightings involving a mysterious mossy individual in Florida. An ancient elemental being? Pop culture inspired mass hysteria? A sentient farmer's market? You decide! Wyatt then recites Albert Ostman's very sober account of a completely bonkers experience. Then again, maybe nothing phases you when you routinely carry 80 pounds of gear into the Canadian wilderness...

SuperduperstitiousEpisode 31 – Et tu, E.T.?It's high time Superduperstitious took another look skyward, so this week's episode once again handles those interplanetary interlopers, extraterrestrials!Wyatt's up first, with the truly astonishing account of a visit to a Russian park that 40 or so locals would never forget. From documentaries full of comically overacted accents to some silent miming on an audio-only format, this story really has it all. Certainly it has those two things.Jake then brings us into the present with a somewhat unique abduction event from only a couple of months ago. Have you recently rendered yourself...

And not all of them are even houses or abandoned prisons!This week, the boys look at two such creepy locales. First, however, Jake dives into an extra-long and extra-horror-movie-ish update on the Phantom of the Chicago, which has made its way to Wisconsin in order to cockblock some college kids. From there, it's off to a stretch of road in Mission, Texas, where bicyclists don't care for vehicular manslaughter and sometimes people nap in strange ways...

And don't you worry: this one's got more logs and waves and misidentified loons than you can shake a moose at.Jake starts off with a famous serpentine creature from a British Columbia lake, and while he may not be so convinced of its supernatural origins, he ends up a true believer in its power to make videos of its likeness vanish from the internet. Then, on the other side of a thrilling game of Shadowlands Roulette, Wyatt takes us...

After an apropos Springheeled Jack update in Cape Cod, Wyatt retells the listener-suggested story of a vampirism scare during the 19th century. However, these vampires just make you cough and die. And are also already dead? And not real.Jake then follows the specific account of a supposedly possessed teenager who was a perfect case study for why proper mental health treatment compels you far more than the power of Christ does. And don't even START on witches. All this...

The mysterious relics in question have some pretty far out stories behind them, and the boys are determined to dig in deep.First up, Jake tells the tale of a crystal cranium thought to be sacred to the Mayans, or maybe not. Part of a supposed set of thirteen skulls scattered across the globe, could this polished piece of quartz be the key to immense cosmic power? What does 19th century Germany have to say on the matter?Wyatt then details the curious Voynich manuscript...

Now you, too, can learn it's snappy catchphrase!Jake then finally cuts to the chase with all his weeks of ghoul talk by covering the actual ghoul of Arabian folkore.

After checking in again on the British Invasion (the Spring Heeled Jack one, that is), the boys examine some longstanding, almost elemental legends from different parts of the world.First, Jake describes the mysterious Dark Watchers who lurk on ridges in Big Sur, being dark, and watching stuff. No clue what they are, but at this point, there's no ruling out even urRu as a possibility. Then Wyatt takes a plunge into the history and biology of a well known but...

This week, Wyatt jumps on that opening-update-segment-train with some ghastly tales of Spring Heeled Jack's move to America, where he gets into some very specific routines. Wyatt then segues into a series of sightings involving a weird little monstermajig that is equally at home in the Massachusetts and Ontario suburbs as it is in Native American mythology. Just keep your cats away from the river.Jake's then proves that he hasn't told his dumbest story yet, because he hasn't told THIS story yet. Specifically, he talks about some giant...

Whether it's attacking cars while young couples are tryna smash, or crabwalking in and out of your kitchen at night, you're gonna have a bad time.Wyatt then takes us on an enlightening trip to Victorian London to learn all about a plague of encounters with a fiendish high jumper.

First up, Wyatt describes the legend of a monster terrorizing Maryland, the sounds that a man-goat might make, and the angst inherent in being a human. He also expresses his deep passion for classic science fiction and fantasy.Next, Jake gets back on his shit again, recounting even more encounters with gaunt, pale humanoids stalking the roads of the American northeast, including a child's drawing that REALLY doesn't help make these things less creepy. All this, plus some more Chicago Phantom shenanigans, and a...

Jake's up first, with some rock talk — specifically, the curious case of Death Valley's sailing stones in its famed Racetrack Playa. He then segues into crystal energy, and the two subjects almost make sense together when heard in context, seriously.Wyatt follows Jake's energy lead to describe ley lines, and th...

The two hosts never really nailed that logline, but they always at least half tried. One night, they decided to discuss urban legends again, since there are, like, a billion of those.First, after another bat interruption, Wyatt laid down some short tales from Japan, before launching into the story of the infamous Alice Killings. "Why," he asked, "are you being so serious?" Next, Jake spun a yarn about one of the most famous campfire ghost stories out there. But then it...

This week, the boys are examining legends and folktales that seemingly are true even today. Off the top, Jake covers the demonic hellhounds seen across the English countryside and beyond, sometimes appearing as an omen of doom, sometimes arriving just to totally MESS. A. CHURCH. UP. As you value your life or your reason, keep away from the moor.From there, Wyatt talks about a whole class of mythical humanoids, including goblins, gremlins, pukwudgies, gnomes, and bodybuilders.

It's utterly chilling, unless you're exactly four years old.Next, Jake walks us through the fake background but possibly real foreground of the Michigan Dogman. Horror pranks are the best...

Jake starts off with the first-person account of a woman whose family was plagued for years by a maybe-demon that was terrifying to behold and enraged by folks borrowing roller skates.Then Wyatt leads an off-the-walls journey through the story that inspired the movie The Conjuring. Those unlucky Perrons chose a house where, just, EVERYBODY went to die. Break in through the back window and watch...

But don't expect either of them to say that word correctly on the first try.After a foreword about the very recently declassified aerial footage released by the U.S. Department of Defense, Wyatt tells the tale of an Italian security guard whose experience was just one fire flower short of being the strangest thing to ever happen to an Italian person.

After being repeatedly told that this particular creature "don't want none", Jake is determined to get to the truth.Then, in the absence of any additional Phantom of the Chicago sightings this week, Wyatt decides to try his own hand at giant bat stories. This inevitably leads to a tangent on scary animal sounds to hear in the woods at night. Be sure to bring a huge...

Never trust a Warren to tell a ghost story.Next, Jake discovers the multiband compressor and his life is forever changed.

After the boys weigh the finer points of shape-shifting goblin logistics (you guessed it: Chicago), Jake takes us to the Isle of Man, if not with his accent then at least with his story. There, a family in the 1930s was terrorized/entertained for years by a mysterious entity in their home calling himself Gef (he is the fifth dimension, in case you were wondering).Next, Wyatt tells a story that starts in 1999, a completely unremarkable year with no major cultural touchstones or noteworthy...
