Welcome to The Oddity Shop, Where the Bizarre is Always on Sale! This week in the shop, Kara is telling us about a taxidermy goat head with a checkered past.

Yep, you heard that right - we're talking full-blown, "Beware the cursed goat head" kind of stuff.

Speaking of which, Old Capricorn has a bone to pick with us as we recount his misadventures from a beloved English pub to becoming the village's most infamous jinx. It's a saga of bad luck, blame games, and the all-too-human need to find a scapegoat (pun intended). And if you think the story ends there, think again. This goat head isn't just your average wall ornament; we delve into its eerie post-pub life, stirring up animal antics and sending locals into a tizzy trying to drown out the curse - literally and figuratively.

Remember, we love hearing from you, so if you've got thoughts, feelings, or a particular affinity for goat emojis, drop us a line. Until next time, keep your curiosity piqued and your objects un-cursed – or not, if you're into that kind of thing.

Welcome to The Oddity Shop, Where the Bizarre is Always on Sale! This week in the shop, Zach and Kara are Recounting their 12 hour overnight investigation of the Eloise Asylum.

As the night deepened within the haunted halls of Eloise, our investigation took a turn towards the truly extraordinary. With the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts and the competitive spirit of our own, we found ourselves chasing intelligent responses next to the notorious fifth-floor bathtub. The ghostly tales don't end there—flashlights flickering to our queries and EMF readers spiking without physical cause are just a glimpse into the haunting encounters that had our hearts racing.

Wrapping up this spectral escapade, Kara and I reflect on the sleepless nights that followed, our minds buzzing with the events that unfolded at Eloise. We consider the invaluable company of our new friends, and the profound insights gained from this intense adventure.

join us for a journey into the heart of the paranormal—and remember, until our paths cross again in the next eerie destination, keep it creepy. Goodbye for now.

Welcome to The Oddity Shop, Where the Bizarre is Always on Sale! This week in the shop, Zach has the strange story of Elisa Lam and her time at the Cecil Hotel

The Cecil Hotel's story is as layered as the most intricate of novels, with chapters of grandeur, despair, and notoriety. We peel back these layers to reveal its transformation from a luxury establishment to a refuge shadowed by crime, introducing listeners to figures like Richard Ramirez who walked its halls. The hotel serves as a darkly fascinating backdrop to the perplexing disappearance of Elisa Lam, a tale punctuated by bizarre elevator footage and a blog that kept updating posthumously. Join us as we navigate through the eerie details and share our theories on this unsolved mystery that continues to captivate and haunt.

As we bid adieu under the golden Californian sun, we encourage you to engage with the stories we've shared by dropping that sunny emoji and keeping the conversation burning bright. So, until our paths cross again in the Oddity Shop, where the strange is standard, and every goodbye is just a prelude to another hello, keep it spooky and "creep it real.
