Poltergeist With A Sweet Tooth

Some terrifying stories from those who’ve experienced paranormal mahnahmanah and the mystery of the Carroll A. Deering in BOX472 Box of Oddities has been wearing a stupid man suit since 2018.

Don't Put Gross Things Where You Eat

Sometimes the best horror stories are true. Jethro shares one that will shock and amaze. And then Kat tells us about some very strange practices involving footwear. The contents of BOX471 should not be fed to fish.

Taunting Frank Lloyd Wright

Giggle Smoke, Loco Weed, Jazz Cabbage. Mankind has had a long and complicated history with Cannabis. Jethro has the surprising and bizarre details. And then, one of the strangest collections of oddities ever housed in a roadside attraction. Kat tells us about The House On The Rock in Wisconsin. Box470 is safe for use around pets.

Marital Sweat Equity

A ritualistic murder to make drug runners invisible? JG digs in. Then Kat shares the incredible story of the woman whose super sniffer might change the future of medicine. It’s BOX469 and I'ma need a sentimental man or woman to pump me up. 

Fresh Blood For Bread-Making

As we move into "Halloween Quarter" Kat and JG bring the spooky. JG tells us about a vengeful ghost from the 1940s named Carl and Kat tell us about a 16th century vampire named Peter. It's Box468! Now with a new non-slip surface!

Just Shovel It Into The Hull

We are not alone. This native/alien has been both everywhere and nowhere. Then, are you not entertained? Bizarre game shows in BOX467. Not dishwasher safe.

Chasing Wild Dogs From A Church

History is filled with terrible occupations - JG shares a few! Kat goes down under for a bizarre true crime cold case. It’s BOX466 and it likes hanging out with you.

Let’s get ready to Zoooooom!

Tuesday, September 6th, 7 pm (our time) we’re zooming! What should we talk about? Nail polish? Boys? Can’t wait! 

18th Century Robot Music Is Shrill

It terrified the settlers of the Great Plains in the late 19th century. And we are only now beginning to fully understand what it was. And what's better than a robot duck? A robot duck that poops! The mysterious "Prairie Madness" and the incredibly inventive mind of the 18th-century inventor and artist Jacques de Vaucanson. Do not reheat BOX465. Doing so may cause it to warp or melt.

Gasmasks And Vaseline

Some of the everyday products you may find in your house have very strange origins. Jethro has the details. And then, Kat has the story of a grisly discovery that led police to possibly the dumbest criminals ever. Discontinue use of BOX464 if rash develops.

Doing It Dorothy Style

He’d had enough of the government and decided to go it on his own. Then, drugs and bleeding and lobotomies, oh my! Price Leonard of Hutt River and some barbaric times in medical history in BOX463 - it’s never going to give you up or let you down. 

Dreaming Of Deadly Light Fixtures

Who among us does not enjoy a good haunted house story? Jethro has the dish on the Jean Harlow house in Los Angeles. And then Kat tells us about a new medical procedure that helps the blind to see. Using teeth? BOX462: is not to be used rectally. 

Resisting The Advances Of A Pirate

That Helen Keller! She accomplished so much in her lifetime.  But there's one thing she did that may blow your mind. Or not. We'll see. And then the mysterious disappearance of a former U.S. Vice President's daughter.  If any defects are discovered while listening to BOX461, do not attempt to repair them yourself, but return to an authorized Box Of Oddities service center.

Human Meat And Beef Steam

The theft that made a masterpiece! Then, an award you probably don’t want to get. The Mona Lisa - stolen! And the Bent Spoon Award in BOX460. Without passion, we’d truly be dead. 

Reanimating Dead Loved Ones In China

Is that what they meant to say? And my hamburger gave me hives! Messages lost in translation and Alpha Gal Syndrome in BOX459. Get down girl, go ‘head, get down. 

A "Silly" Kidnapping

Talk in everlasting words, And dedicate them all to me… but where did some of these words start? JG digs in. Then, Kat tells us of a stupid plan and the stupid planners who planned it. The evolution of some English words and the Chowchilla kidnapping in BOX458. 

Showering With A Bear

The ER is overrun with old, blue men! Then, corporal bear reporting for duty! JG tells us about the blue men mystery and Kat shares the story of Wojtek, the soldier bear in BOX457. Two, ten, eleven. Eyes, fingers, toes!

Breastfeeding Baby Lizard Statues

What’s the deal with that breastfeeding lizard lady? And could this man be more amazing? Nope. A Mesopotamian alien mystery and the lovely, stunning, heroic, and humble, Shavarsh Karapetyan in BOX456. Mishka Mousksa! 

To The Order Of Freaks 07/29/2022

It's the July edition of The Gathering of The Freaks! Let's catch up!

Army Of The Dead

Is the key to another dimension simply a color? And why would a government treat these babies so poorly? The strange properties of Han Purple and the tragic story of the Dionne quintuplets. Neither the seller nor the manufacturer will be liable for any brain damage arising from listening to BOX455.

Proton Beam Accelerator Party Trick

Story #1 Thanks for having us! Your rotten fruit looks amazing!

Story #2 This building is 0️⃣ days since its last proton beam accident. 

The eccentric elite of the Regency era and Anatoli Bugorski in BOX454. If You Pray Enough, You Can Turn Yourself Into A Cat Person.

Lazy Grave Robber

Dentistry - It’s not always been great. Then myths and things you may not know about the Mother of Exiles. Waterloo teeth and the Statue of Liberty in BOX453. Be a goldfish.
