The Haunting is Coming From Inside Oct 19, 2020

Show notes

There is something about a tale of a good haunting that is hard not to be intrigued by if not love. The mystery, the unknown, the experience that seems to defy logic. Of course in an ideal world at the end of the day we can leave a haunting behind and return to trusting our senses. Or can we? What if the strange things we're sometimes feeling and seeing aren't coming from veils beyond but from somewhere much, much closer and harder to escape?
Be wary, the haunting might just be coming from inside in tonight's episode. Additionally, be aware that we take a little more of a pure storytelling turn for our second tale and, true to topic, it is an eerie tale.
Finally, while I usually like to bring three tales for each episode's topic, this week I got carried away with the first two and ran long on time. However, I will be releasing the third story to subscribers on my Patreon! If that, as well as early access to episodes, additional bonus content, and other goodies from my other work, intrigues you please visit patreon.com/rockettefox.

Ain't Got No Body Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

As we continue our journey into the curious, we start tonight's episode in a place that may sound familiar: Sleepy Hollow. We'll take a stroll through some headless lore, then look a little more closely at a couple strange historical instances that beg the question, can someone or something live without a head or heart? And how?
*For a quick content warning, while I won't go into any gore or explicit detail, this episode will cover people and a couple animals. It's headlessness, tread cautiously.

Double, Double, Toil & Trouble Oct 05, 2020

Show notes

As we creep into Halloween season, I'm thrilled to bring you a month of topics a little on the spookier side, and we'll be kicking it off with one very near to my heart. Cauldrons, prophecies, spells, and the misrepresentation that ties them all together - yes, my pretties, tonight we take our first dive into witches.
I'm also thrilled to announce the official website is up! Check it out at www.fantasticallystrange.com. If you have any questions, comments, topics you'd like to see covered, or just to say hi drop me a line at fantasticallystrange@rockettefox.com!

*Quick note: tonight's episode does contain a curse word, and if you're listening you'll hear it. PG-13 rated, but just so no one's caught off guard!

The Eyes Have It Sep 25, 2020

Show notes

Eyes are such an important and integral part of how many of us interact with each other and the world around us, what happens when they are used in unexpected ways? ...Such as on cow butts? Join Rockette Fox for our very first episode as we explore unusual unreal eyes.
