One Strange Thing: Paranormal & True-Weird Mysteries - One Strange Thing

Latest Episodes:

The Hunger Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

A boy's unknown illness leaves him without the capability to feel hunger or thirst—and in a quest to find updates on his possible cure, information is unearthed on a very different kind of medical mystery. An enlightened leader, half a world away, had been baffling scientists not with his illness, but with his ability.

One Strange Thing: True Paranormal Mysteries explores the archives of the unexplained, blending rigorous historical research with a wry, skeptical wit to investigate true supernatural stories and baffling mysteries that made headlines.

Wondery Presents: Call Me Curious Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

Is sugar really more addictive than cocaine? Does intermittent fasting work? Should I buy crypto? We’re all on 24-7 information overload, on our news feeds, in our inboxes, on TikTok… it’s hard to know what is real and what isn’t. Every week on CALL ME CURIOUS, Nikki Boyer (Dying for Sex, The Daily Smile) and friends like Mr. Malone are going to dive into all the things you’ve heard about, but don’t really know about. That’s right - No more nodding along at parties or running into the bathroom to Google, “Why do people get nipple rings?” We’ll learn and laugh as we explore life’s little mysteries, the internet’s hot topics, and burning gotta-know questions.

The Genius Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

A Washington man named Jason Padgett loved partying, muscle cars, and getting buff at the local gym, and would have been content to live his life singing karaoke and chasing girls--until a fateful attack changed his worldview. . . quite literally. When he woke up the next day after receiving serious blows to the head, Jason realized that he could see things that others couldn't. And he didn't know what to make of them.

The Lizardman Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

A rural South Carolina town is struck by cryptid fever in the form of a seven-foot-tall lizard with a taste for cars. . . specifically, for chewing on them. Once a local teenager is chased down by the Lizardman, locals all over Bishopville and the greater Lee County area spot lizard tracks and possible Lizardman attacks. But is it all just a hoax? Or, perhaps, the work of another cryptid altogether?

The Lovers Feb 15, 2022

A grand tropical resort took the burgeoning vacation destination of Florida by storm in the late 1920s. But it's not all sunshine and beaches: the hotel's founder built it as a monument to love… and, apparently, it's a great place to haunt.

Introducing: What Was That Like Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

This is a special brief episode to introduce you to a podcast that we recently discovered, called What Was That Like. It's quite different from any other show you listen to.

Each episode is a conversation with a regular person who has been through some type of extremely unusual situation, such as being shot in a mass shooting, surviving a plane crash, getting bitten by a rattlesnake, or getting a deal on Shark Tank (those are a few of the past episodes). The guest comes on the show and tells the story of what happened, first hand.

For many of the episodes, in addition to the person involved telling the details, you'll also hear the 911 calls and police radio communication that happened during that situation.

With 100 past episodes, you'll be bingeing this show for a while. Some of the episode titles:

Ramon's wife hired a hit man to kill him
Marina was stalked
Kasey married a wrong number
Westin survived a boat propeller
Henry was attacked by an alligator
Dave won big on Wheel of Fortune
James was crushed by a tree
Liz discovered a suicide

In the trailer today, you'll hear a few clips from past shows to give you an idea of what to expect. If you like bizarre, true stories, told first hand by the person who experienced it, we think you'll like this show.

You can find What Was That Like on any podcast app, including Spotify, or at the website – WhatWasThatLike.com.

The Washington Flying Men Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

Amid the very earliest days of the midcentury flying saucer craze, two women in small-town Washington see something weird in the skies: men, in gray jumpsuits, whizzing around with space-age jetpacks that defy contemporary science. But nobody else will admit to seeing them… and the story somehow does get weirder from there.
