Bizarre American Laws - VOL 2 | Perplexing | Ep.150 Nov 10, 2025

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Just when you thought you’d heard every strange rule out there, America says, “Hold my root beer.” In this brand-new volume, we’re heading back across the States to uncover even more wonderfully weird, wonderfully real laws still lurking in the books.

From states that forbid ice cream on Sundays (tragic) to small towns where it’s technically illegal to walk backwards while eating a doughnut — this episode is a love letter to the glorious oddities that make America, well… America.

Expect:
🦆 Ducks in trousers (we don’t make the rules, we just report them).
💋 Kissing restrictions that’ll have you side-eyeing your local sheriff.
🥒 And the legendary law that decided what counts as a “real” pickle.

It’s one hour of laughter, disbelief, and affectionate chaos — proof that sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.

Peter Bergmann | Mystery | Ep.149 Nov 03, 2025

Show notes

When a well-dressed stranger calling himself Peter Bergmann arrives in a quiet Irish town, he seems ordinary—until he begins methodically disposing of his belongings, checks into a hotel under a fake name, and walks alone toward the sea, never to return; what follows is a chilling investigation into a man who tried to erase himself completely, leaving behind no clues, no past, and one of the most haunting unsolved mysteries in modern Europe.

It’s spooky season, and we’re going full ghoul mode!

Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield

Ed Gein's crimes inspired some of the most infamous characters in horror history — Norman Bates (Psycho), Leatherface (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Buffalo Bill (The Silence of the Lambs). Basically, without Ed Gein, the modern horror genre might look very different... and maybe a little less terrifying.

Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield

Ed Gein was born in 1906 in Plainfield, Wisconsin

After his mother’s death in 1945, Ed completely unraveled. He boarded up her room like a shrine and started dabbling in some light grave robbing — as one does. He’d dig up corpses from the local cemetery, bring them home, and use the body parts to make things like lampshades, bowls, and even a “woman suit” made from human skin. Yeah. That happened

BEAR ATTACK - I Survived!

Jeremy Evans endured a terrifying brush with death when he was mauled in a sudden bear attack during what should have been a routine outing in the wilderness. The animal lunged at him without warning, knocking him to the ground and leaving him with deep lacerations and broken bones as he fought desperately to stay alive. Against all odds, he managed to escape the assault long enough to be rescued, and though his injuries were life-threatening, Evans survived to tell a harrowing story of raw instinct, sheer willpower, and the unpredictable danger of the wild.
