Strange Talk

This week on Strange Talk, Alyx and Ginelle finally sit down to unpack the chaos, community, and cosmic weirdness of Frogman Festival, as well as share the stories you all brought to us.After an unforgettable (and incredibly busy) weekend in Loveland, the team dives into a collection of listener encounters recorded live at the Strange Talk booth using their new phone recorder, alongside a chilling emailed submission involving unexplained sounds echoing through a mausoleum. From shared dreams that may connect to real historical figures, to strange creatures in the woods, to wildly conflicting accounts of the Loveland Frogman himself...this episode captures the full duality of the phenomenon.Blending eerie, heartfelt, and occasionally hilarious moments from the festival floor, Alyx then muses on what makes Frogman Festival, and their hometown of Loveland, Ohio, so uniquely charged. It’s a place where the whole spectrum of strangers gather not just to share stories, but to stand right where the legend lives. Loveland has a way of making the strange feel just a little more real, whether it’s something glimpsed along the river, heard in the quiet between crowds, or felt without explanation,Tune in for a collection of real voices, real encounters, and a celebration of the stories that find us, especially when we’re finally ready to tell them.Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro by Star Silk, Consumed by Karl Casey, and backing tracks by LoFiGeek.

This week on Strange Talk, Alyx and Ginelle welcome librarian, author, and paranormal researcher Courtney Block for a hushed conversation about the liminal quality and haunting presence of libraries. After meeting at Frogman Festival, the trio reconnect to explore Courtney’s newest book Inside the World’s Haunted Libraries, a collection of firsthand accounts from library workers around the globe, just as the book officially releases April 30th!From eerie encounters to deeply moving stories of lingering presences, Courtney shares how over a year of outreach brought these experiences together, and why she believes libraries are uniquely suited for the paranormal. With their constant flow of people, emotionally charged materials, and liminal, freely accessible spaces, libraries may be quietly accumulating something more than just knowledge. Ginelle adds her own chilling experience, a story of unseen movement deep within the university library's basement stacks.Blending cozy sweater bookworm vibes with eerie anomalies, the conversation also touches on how to responsibly research the paranormal using accessible tools and library resources. This episode is a celebration of libraries as living, breathing spaces that are full of memory, meaning, and maybe even ghosts waiting patiently between the pages.

On this episode of Strange Talk, Alyx sits down with Beck Ravenswood to unpack a bizarre and very real legal battle unfolding in Pennsylvania that centers on tarot reading, free expression, and a law dating back to the 1800s. Longtime listeners may remember Strange Talk first covering this story during a weird news segment back in 2023, and now Beck joins the show to provide a firsthand update on how that ongoing case has evolved.Beck shares the story behind their ongoing lawsuit after local authorities attempted to enforce an antiquated fortune-telling statute against their tarot practice at Serpent's Key Shoppe & Sanctuary. What follows is a fascinating discussion about spirituality, artistic expression, consumer protection laws, and how outdated legislation can collide with modern culture.Together, Alyx and Beck explore what tarot actually is (and isn’t), why laws targeting divination still exist, and what this case could mean for readers, spiritual practitioners, and small business owners everywhere. It’s part legal deep dive, part cultural conversation, and entirely Strange Talk, where folklore meets real-world consequences.Tune in for a thoughtful, strange, and surprisingly timely look at tarot, personal freedom, and the question of who gets to decide what belief and entertainment look like in 2026.Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro by Star Silk, Jupiter by Karl Casey, and backing tracks by LoFiGeek.

This week on Strange Talk, Alyx sits down with Alex (of Winners and Tense Kids) and musician Cedric Sparkman to unravel the eerie true story of Mary Mallon, the seemingly healthy New York cook who, in the early 1900s, left a trail of typhoid outbreaks in her wake while never showing symptoms herself, sparking a manhunt, forced quarantines on a lonely island in the East River, and a century-long debate over personal freedom versus public safety, as the trio explore how an invisible threat, medical misunderstanding, and rising public panic turned one woman into a living ghost story of contagion and control, punctuated by Alex’s darkly funny observation, “We just don’t use maggots like we used to.”Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro by Star Silk, The Little Engine that Should by Winners, and Black Rabbit by Cedric Warner Sparkman.

Strange Talk is back with a fresh Weird News roundup as Alyx and Ginelle dive into the bizarre and uncanny from around the world. This week: teens in Wisconsin encounter a “silver fox” Sasquatch while setting off fireworks in the woods, a family in India is driven from their home by a series of mysterious fires possibly tied to a curse, a self-proclaimed witch doctor is arrested after taking thousands to magically ensure a football victory, the release of a lollipop that plays music in your mouth, and a startup that promises luxury hotel stays on the Moon. From cryptids and curses to space tourism and scandal, it’s a globe-trotting trip through the strange, spooky, and strangely funny.Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro by Star Silk, Cyberpunk Manifesto by Karl Casey, and backing tracks by LoFiGeek.

On this episode of Strange Talk, Alyx sits down with Brian Bateman, a Texas homeowner whose house is quietly, persistently haunted. Not by violent poltergeists, but by presences that seem curious, calm, and woven into daily life. Brian shares the subtle signs that first tipped him off that he wasn’t alone, from a bed his dod wouldn't sleep in to unexplained sounds and movements to moments that felt more like gentle communication than fear, painting a picture of a haunting that is more intimate than sensational.The conversation also explores how these experiences inspired Brian’s close friend, Jennifer Brasington-Crowley, to write the book Ghost Writer, a narrative shaped by the strange coexistence between the living and the unseen in his home paired with the strange history of violence and accidents in the surrounding neighborhood. Together, Alyx and Brian talk about what it means to live alongside something you can’t fully explain, how a haunting can become part of the rhythm of a place, and why not all ghosts announce themselves with violence, some simply linger, observe, and quietly remind you that the world is bigger than what we can see.Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro by Star Silk, Night Dweller by Karl Casey, and backing tracks by LoFiGeek.

On this episode of Strange Talk, Alyx is joined by returning guest Jeff Craig, founder of the Frogman Festival, to talk all things past, present, and future Frogman. As the festival heads into its fourth year, Jeff reflects on how the event has grown, what worked in previous years, and why this year’s festival is returning to a one-day format while still packing in speakers, vendors, music, and community fun.The conversation dives into what makes Frogman Festival special: celebrating a local cryptid legend without trying to prove or debunk it, spotlighting regional history, and emphasizing respect for the Little Miami River and the real wildlife that call it home. Jeff shares stories from past festivals, including live animal education with Ohio park rangers, puppet shows, indie horror screenings, music performances, and the tight-knit “summer camp” energy that keeps vendors and attendees coming back year after year.Alyx and Jeff also revisit the Loveland Frogman legend itself, discussing the original police sightings, the stigma of reporting anomalous encounters, and how those experiences can quietly shape lives. Along the way, they tease upcoming plans for film screenings, returning favorites, new sponsors, and even float a delightfully absurd idea: attempting an open Guinness World Record for most leapfrogs in an hour at a future Frogman Festival.Whether you’re a longtime Frogman believer, a cryptid-curious skeptic, or just someone who loves community-driven weirdness, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how a local legend turns into a beloved festival and why it continues to grow, one hop at a time.Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro by Star Silk, by Karl Casey, and backing tracks by LoFiGeek.

On this episode of Strange Talk, Alyx sits down with parapsychologist Kelly Curtis from the Paranormal Rescue Team to explore the eerie intersection of death, belief, and the paranormal. Kelly, whose PhD research delves into how different types of exposure to death and dying shape our beliefs, identities, and psychological outcomes, brings a unique perspective to the world of hauntings and anomalous experiences.Together, they discuss what drives people to believe in the paranormal, how personal and professional encounters with death influence those beliefs, and the psychological frameworks that help us process mortality. From haunting investigations to groundbreaking research, Kelly reveals how confronting death can both challenge and strengthen our understanding of the afterlife, the unexplained, and ourselves.From haunting investigations to groundbreaking research, Kelly reveals how confronting death can both challenge and strengthen our understanding of the afterlife, the unexplained, and ourselves. Followers of the Paranormal Rescue Team might be delighted to learn that the team lovingly named their pre-screening tool the "Curtis Scale" after Kelly, a scale designed to determine whether they can take a haunting case on or not.If you’ve ever wondered why some ghost stories feel intensely real, how exposure to mortality changes the way we see the world, or what parapsychologists actually study, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro by Star Silk, Running from Death by Karl Casey, and backing tracks by LoFiGeek.

As the clock strikes 9pm, the airwaves crackle to life with the sinister hum of Strange Talk. This week, Alyx and Ginelle dive into the latest weird news from around the globe. We kick things off with a shocking story out of Thailand where a woman was found alive and moving inside her coffin after being taken to a Buddhist temple for cremation. From there, we hop over to California, where surf break cameras recently spotted mysterious UFO-like objects hovering over the coastline like they're taking up surfing or scouting for a beach vacation. The headlines only get wilder as we go. A record-breaking football match took place 1,800 meters above Earth (yes, in the sky), Guinness World Records turns 70 and reveals a bunch of unclaimed world record titles waiting for brave souls to grab them, and a former pilot did the most pilot thing ever by turning an old airplane into a two-bedroom apartment on the campus of his flight school in Alaska.Then we climb right off the edge, literally, with Columbia Sportswear’s viral campaign daring flat-Earthers to find the edge of the Earth and take a picture there, and Russia’s new bio-drone program featuring computer-chipped “spy pigeons” straight out of the strangest Cold War sequel imaginable. Finally, we wrap up with a look at what Bigfoot hunters get right in scientifically studying our squatchy cryptid.It’s bizarre, it’s funny, it’s spooky, and it’s packed with the campy, cobwebbed chaos your Thursday night has been waiting for.Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro by Star Silk, Infernal Sky by Karl Casey, and backing tracks by LoFiGeek.

Zach takes us deep into the process of bringing real paranormal encounters to life, sharing what goes into recreating cryptids, hauntings, ET encounters, and unsolved mysteries as immersive museum pieces.The trio wades into classic paranormal territory: Kentucky cryptids, the blurry edges of Appalachian folklore, and the strange stories attached to some of Zach’s most unsettling items. Alyx and Ginelle pepper Zach with questions about what it’s like to run a horror-themed interactive gallery, how he sources objects with real histories behind them, and the odd experiences visitors sometimes report inside the museum.Zach also shares behind-the-scenes tales from filming and investigations, chats about some of his favorite cases, and gives listeners a peek at the newest additions to the Nightmare Gallery. It’s an episode full of spooky stories, museum mishaps, eerie artifacts, and the kind of paranormal enthusiasm only Zach Bales can bring.Whether you’re into haunted items, roadside attractions, or good old-fashioned Kentucky weirdness, get it all straight from the Paranormal Roadtripper himself.Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro, Agony by Scott Arc, Ghost Town by Scott Arc, and backing tracks by LoFiGeek.

This week on Strange Talk, Alyx and Vayne crack open the dusty vault of hometown folklore and trade stories from their shared stomping grounds of Loveland, Ohio; from ghost hunts gone sideways to mysterious sculptures in the woods, deer mistaken for demons, and the long-whispered tales of lantern-carrying figures stalking old railroad beds. They dig into childhood rumors, half-true warnings from adults, haunted lakes full of buried debris, and the ever-present Loveland Frog looming over it all.Midway through the chaos, Mrs. Creep from Creepy Confidential calls in to add her own eerie story and insight, helping piece together why so many small towns grow such big legends. It’s an open-lines night of nostalgia, night hikes, questionable decisions, and the stories that keep us looking over our shoulders long after the streetlights come on.Grab a flashlight,  and maybe check behind you, because these local legends don’t always stay local.Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro by Star Silk, No Shame by RELIC, and backing tracks by LoFiGeek

This week on Strange Talk, Alyx sits down with Chris Harmon, MUFON-certified field investigator, member of the Case Assistance Group, and part of the Experiencer Resource Team. Chris shares the extraordinary story of his lifelong encounters with non-human intelligences, the ET family he’s known since childhood, and how those experiences shaped his work as a healer and certified hypnotist.Rachel joined the interview partway through, stepping in to corroborate many of Chris’s experiences with her own firsthand accounts. As a practiced remote viewer herself, she offered thoughtful insight into the techniques, sensations, and surprising accuracy of the process. Her perspective added another layer of validation to Chris’s story, turning the conversation into a fascinating, multi-voiced exploration of non-ordinary perception, shared encounters, and the sometimes-overlapping paths of experiencers.Together, Alyx and Chris dig into what it means to be an experiencer, how remote viewing fits into his toolkit, and the patterns he’s seen in decades of paranormal and extraterrestrial cases. It’s a thoughtful, human, and deeply strange conversation that pushes past the usual UFO talking points and into lived reality.Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro by Star Silk, GNOSIS by RELIC, and backing tracks by LoFiGeek.

This week on Strange Talk, Alyx, Vayne, and Ginelle blast off into another round of Weird News from around this spinning blue marble (and slightly above it).We’re starting in orbit, talking radiation sickness risks for future space missions and what that means for anyone bold enough to try living off-Earth. Then, we come crashing back down to the ocean where someone thought tossing a pile of old tires into the water was a good idea (spoiler: it was extremely not) to build an artificial reef.From there, we dive further into the underwater octopus neighborhood scientists are calling Octlantis. We also take a look at which U.S. cities are safest and least safe for trick-or-treating (Halloween logistics matter, okay?), discuss witchcraft happening near a governor’s home in Mexico, and wrap things up with our Hexmas costume plans.

In this episode of Strange Talk, we’re joined by Brian Sterling-Vete and Helen Renée Wuorio of Paranormal Rescue, a sort of real-life Ghostbusting team that steps in when hauntings turn into full-blown emergencies. Whether it's a lingering presence disrupting a home or something far more intense, Brian and Helen have seen it all, but their work doesn’t just stop at helping the haunted; they’ve also been researching one of the biggest questions in the paranormal field: Do ghosts have an expiration date?Their groundbreaking research, Project Half-Life, suggests that spirits may gradually lose energy and fade away around 100 years after death. We first mentioned their work when an article on Unexplained Mysteries tried to condense this theory into just a few paragraphs, but now we’re getting the full story straight from the source.Brian and Helen take us deep into the science behind their research, explaining how quantum physics might actually support the existence of the paranormal rather than rule it out and also explain why ghosts may fade away at around 100 years afterlife.
