AfterWyrd: The Screaming Skull, Werewolves, & The Ninja Squirrel

Andy and Craig (or are they two Mr. Ballens?) are back with another collection of strange news and oddities that didn't quite make it into the main Wyrd Wessex podcast. From East Yorkshire's Bermuda Triangle to prize-winning weird science, it's all here.East Yorkshire's Triangle of Terror We investigate the Wold Newton Triangle, a small corner of East Yorkshire plagued by high strangeness. We discuss reports of werewolves, dragons, and a legendary screaming skull. Can Wessex compete with its own Bermuda Triangle of folklore?Weird Science & The Ninja Squirrel The Wyrdo's celebrate the return of the Ig Nobel Prize, the annual award for truly bizarre scientific research. We find out which team won for painting zebra-like stripes on cows and explore the surprising link between booze and linguistics.In the news in brief, we rapid-fire through headlines on massive Ozzy Osbourne tributes and the shrinking of British conkers. We also cover the brutal, out-of-nowhere attacks of an "evil ninja squirrel" that has terrorized a neighborhood.Holy Water & UFO Mysteries Andy discusses the River Jordan water with a Catholic friend to determine if it is truly "holy water." The answer is complicated and leads to a discussion on blessings and flowing rivers.Finally, we look at a compelling case of an unidentified falling object that smashed into a New Jersey building, caused a flash and a boom, and then vanished from the scene. What on Earth—or not on Earth—was it?"Don't blame the owls."www.wyrdwessex.co.ukBuy our merch hereHosted by Craig Brooks & Andy StevensEdited by Craig BrooksIntro music by Exceptional_3D - Unexplained mystery intro/outro Hosted on Acast.
