About this podcast
The attempted murder on a ghost, cursed paintings burning houses down, and lighthouse keepers disappearing without a trace. The world is filled with astonishing stories that will make you go and shrug, saying "Well, I don't know what is going on here, but it is certainly strange!" This podcast is a collection of these bizarre tales. Each episode I tell a separate story and share my own unfiltered opinions and theories about it. Come and join me on this journey through the strangest parts of our history.
