The Circus of Lost Children & The Drunken Battle of Karansebes Step right up for one of the strangest rides in history—this episode of The Box of Oddities brings you the hauntingly peculiar tale of the Circus of the Lost Children, a traveling show with mysteries darker than the big top shadows themselves. Were these wandering performers guardians of misfits, or something far more unsettling? Then, hold onto your bayonets (and maybe your Schnapps ®) as we march straight into the Battle of Karansebes—arguably the most disastrously hilarious military blunder ever recorded, where an army accidentally defeated itself before the enemy even arrived.

Tune in, laugh, shiver, and marvel at the oddities history tried to sweep under the rug.

    Fall Tour Info And Tickets Here! Inbox of Oddities: Shopping Cart Poltergeists, Boo Fuel & Other Listener Oddventures In this listener-fueled episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro wade waist-deep into the beautifully bizarre world of freaks, phantoms, and fuel price coincidences. A rogue shopping cart with a vendetta. A gas station receipt that channels numerological energy. A haunted laundry hamper that eats only left socks. Oh, and someone may or may not be living with a phantom roommate obsessed with dish duty. We also hear from a listener who nearly lost their lunch to Kat’s discussion of PUS, meet a comedy-loving ghost lurking near a lady-part sculpture, and discover that “Box of Oddititties” might be the next big merch drop. Plus: hot booze from Alaska, an invitation to drink in Salisbury, and urgent metaphysical questions about what happens if you fall through the center of the Earth (spoiler: you bounce). It’s an entire spectrum of listener weirdness—from haunted carts to heartfelt duck farts—all lovingly unboxed by your fellow freaks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
