This is a podcast about weird stuff -- events, places, crimes, people -- by husband and wife Dean & Carey with the occasional kid joining in the fun. We love cryptids, supernatural, paranormal, unsolved mysteries and unexplained phenomena.
Get ready for episode 2 of our White House Farm Murders 3-part series. It'll be available this Thursday, but episode 1 is available now. Link is to Heidi Blake's article, such a great source, but wait until after you've listened to all three episodes to read it 😆

This was a very twisty case! It was close to our neck of the woods. We covered it in our pod in May 2021, episode #197.
Matthew Muller, who pleaded guilty in 2016 to kidnapping Denise Huskins in the "Gone Girl" case, has now been charged for 2 other home invasions in 2009.

Denise Huskins' boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, was the initial suspect and then the police wrongly accused Huskins of plotting an elaborate hoax.

We want there to be a place for sasquatch out there as much as anyone, but please be smart about it. Those bigfoot reality shows you watch on basic cable have crews and staff, and are as real as a $40 Rolex. Be careful out there.

This was, of course, the last true war on Christmas! - we talked about it on our Christmas Day episode #261 a couple years ago
In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.)

The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.

Fake news about the drones just mucks up genuine efforts to find out what’s going on. Trolls doing this don’t care, but when you pass this along on social media you are a useful idiot for assholes. Please take 30 seconds to fact-check.

This kind of thing doesn't help. Please stop politicizing things you don't understand. The New Jersey drone phenomenon deserves an intelligent explanation and more transparency from the government, but this kind of childish stupidity only makes that harder.
