  • S5E217 - Betty Andreasson Part II: The Generators
    Dec 28 2025

    In South Ashburnham, Massachusetts, something unsettled a household and left a woman forever changed. This episode examines the strange events that took place in a normal home in a quiet town, the people involved, and the ripple effects that followed. We dive into a story that is vivid, confounding, and completely terrifying — a story that exists entirely within the walls of one home and the mind of its witness. Until we discovered a drawing that blasted the vacuum apart. In this episode, we get to the bottom of that specifically technical drawing, where it came from, if it existed earlier that Betty indicating that it was borrowed or copied, and most importantly, if it can help prove or debunk another all too famous UFO encounter.

  • S5E216 - The Abduction of Betty Andreasson
    Dec 21 2025

    In South Ashburnham, Massachusetts, something unsettled a household and left a woman forever changed. This episode examines the strange events that took place in a normal home in a quiet town, the people involved, and the ripple effects that followed. We dive into a story that is vivid, confounding, and completely terrifying — a story that exists entirely within the walls of one home and the mind of its witness. It’s a close look at how a single experience can haunt, shape, and persist, even when the world outside has tried everything to break through it.

  • S5E215 - The Kandahar Giant
    Dec 14 2025

    In the remote deserts of Kandahar, Afghanistan, whispers tell of a giant—towering well over eight feet tall, with skin so pale it almost glows in the moonlight. Locals speak of an otherworldly strength, of bodies buried in the sand that defy explanation, and of soldiers who vanished without a trace. Known as the Kandahar Giant, this figure exists on the edge of myth and reality, a shadow lurking in one of the most war-torn regions of the world. Some say it’s a remnant of an ancient race, others insist it’s something far darker, watching silently from the sands. Whether legend or nightmare, the stories refuse to die.

  • S5E214 - The Sacsayhuaman Stones
    Dec 7 2025

    The Sacsayhuamán stones sit above Cusco like a quiet dare—massive, irregular blocks weighing tens to over a hundred tons, locked together with unnerving precision and no mortar. Their tight seams, strange angles, and earthquake-proof design make the whole site feel less like a ruin and more like a message from a civilization that knew exactly what it was doing. Even now, no one can fully explain how the Incas shaped and moved stones this huge. Sacsayhuamán remains one of the most enigmatic constructions on the planet—an ancient feat that refuses to give up its secrets.

  • S5E213 - The Flannan Isles Lighthouse Disappearance
    Nov 30 2025

    In December 1900, three lighthouse keepers vanished without a trace from the remote Flannan Isles lighthouse in the Outer Hebrides. No struggle, no note, no bodies—just a dark tower, an orderly interior, and a mystery that has baffled generations. This episode of Strange Places explores the lighthouse itself, the men who served there, the eerie circumstances of their disappearance, and the legendary log entries that have fueled speculation for over a century. From plausible theories like rogue waves and accidents to whispers of supernatural forces, we examine why this event remains one of the most unsettling maritime mysteries in history. Was it human error, an environmental anomaly, or something beyond explanation? What happened to these men? And where are their bodies?

  • S5E212 - The Trail Cam Bigfoot
    Nov 23 2025

    Recently, a photo has found its way back into the limelight. A picture with seemingly no backstory. No origin. No owner. No location. No explanation. This deep dive into a re-emerging internet mystery of a supposed bigfoot captured on a trail camera is our next mission to investigate and possibly solve. Where did it come from? And most importantly, is it real?


    Here is the link to the highest resolution version of the photo on Reddit:
