  • S5E205 - Loftus Hall
    Sep 28 2025

    Perched on the windswept Hook Peninsula in Ireland, Loftus Hall has earned its reputation as the country’s most haunted house. With a dark history of death, despair, and a legendary visit from the Devil himself, the mansion’s crumbling halls are said to echo with restless spirits. It’s a place where myth and reality blur, leaving behind a legacy of fear that still chills visitors to this day, but are the stories true? Has the place actually been visited, and is haunted, by the devil himself? Let's try and find out. Once and for all.

  • S5E204 - The Carl Higdon Encounter
    Sep 21 2025

    This week, we tackle one of the most bizarre alien abduction stories ever told. This one could be just another drop in the bucket of stories we have tackled, but this particular one has evidence. Real evidence. Evidence that, if I can get to the bottom of, this case can be earth-shattering.

  • S5E203 - The My Way Curse
    Sep 14 2025

    A song so famous it defined an era… and so feared it’s been banned in bars. From Claude François’ bizarre death to the karaoke killings in the Philippines, and even the strange misfortunes of Sinatra, Elvis, and Sid Vicious—‘My Way’ has earned a reputation as more than just a ballad. Is it coincidence, ego, or something darker? Tonight, we dive into the legend of the ‘My Way’ curse.

  • S5E202 - Man Proposes, God Disposes
    Sep 7 2025

    In this episode, we explore the chilling legend of Sir Edwin Landseer’s ‘Man Proposes, God Disposes,’ a painting of polar bears scavenging the doomed Franklin expedition. Housed at Royal Holloway, University of London, students and staff believe it brings bad luck during exams, so it’s traditionally covered with a Union Jack. It has been responsible for multiple exam failures, feelings of intense fear and dread, as well as a purported suicide. We dive into the history, the folklore, and the eerie aura that keeps this painting shrouded in superstition. Superstition is one thing, but is it truly cursed?

  • S5E201 - The Claims of Billy Meier
    Aug 31 2025

    In this episode of Strange Places, we dive into the controversial case of Billy Meier — a man who claimed decades of face-to-face contact with extraterrestrials, producing photographs, prophecies, and stories that split believers and skeptics alike. Was he a prophet, a hoaxer, or something in between? Let’s separate the facts from the noise.

  • S5E200 - The Kongamato
    Aug 24 2025

    In the swamps and skies of Africa’s remote river valleys, locals tell of the Kongamato — a massive, red-winged creature said to resemble a prehistoric pterosaur. From colonial explorers to modern-day eyewitnesses, this legend refuses to die, blurring the line between folklore and paleontology. Is it a living fossil, a misidentified bird, or something far stranger??
