  • S6E227 - Doctor Jonathan Reed
    Mar 15 2026

    A man claims he encountered a strange creature deep in the woods and captured the aftermath on camera. Photographs, video footage, and a dramatic story quickly spread across late-night radio and the early internet. In this episode of Strange Places, we examine the infamous Dr. Jonathan Reed alien encounter — the evidence, the claims, and the investigation that followed.

  • S6E226 - The Omen
    Mar 8 2026

    In 1976, a film about the Antichrist hit theaters — and the stories started almost immediately. Lightning striking planes carrying key cast and crew. A hotel bombed shortly after production stayed there. A fatal car crash eerily mirroring a death scene from the film, marked by a roadside sign reading 66.6 kilometers. Was it coincidence stacked high enough to look deliberate . . . or something else entirely? Tonight on Strange Places, we examine the alleged curse surrounding The Omen — and leave the final judgment to you.

  • S6E225 - Lunar Shadow People
    Mar 1 2026

    From whispered folklore to modern reports, Lunar Shadow People are shadowy figures connected to the Moon. Seen during full moons, eclipses, or in the periphery of human vision, they inspire fear, fascination, and questions about what lurks just beyond our perception.

  • S6E224 - The Vanishing Village of Lake Anjikuni
    Feb 22 2026

    In 1930, a fur trapper claimed he stumbled upon something impossible on the frozen shores of Lake Anjikuni in northern Canada — a village that should have been alive… but wasn’t. Fires burned. Supplies remained. Sled dogs were still tied up. And not a single person could be found.


    What happened at Lake Anjikuni? Was it mass migration, something far stranger, or something else entirely?

  • S6E223 - Julia
    Feb 15 2026

    WELCOME TO SEASON 6!!!!!!!!!!!!

    --------------------------


    The ocean is louder and stranger than most of us realize. In this episode, we dive into a mysterious underwater sound recorded by NOAA in 1999, a signal that traveled thousands of miles and captured the imagination of believers and skeptics alike. Along the way, we explore the stories, claims, and legends that grew around it, from alleged satellite imagery to whispers of unknown life beneath the waves. What makes Julia unforgettable isn’t just the sound itself—it’s the way humans respond to the unknown, and how curiosity can turn data into myth.

  • S5E222 - The ISS Gets a Knock
    Feb 8 2026

    Aboard the International Space Station, in the quiet hum of orbit, something breaks the rhythm. A knocking echoes through the metal hull—unmistakable, deliberate, and entirely out of place. Experienced astronauts hear it, feel it, but cannot explain it. Nothing on the logs, nothing on the instruments, and nothing outside accounts for the sound. In the emptiness of space, a presence—or at least a mystery—makes itself known, and the silence that should have been absolute suddenly feels alive.

  • S5E221 - Mel's Hole
    Feb 1 2026

    A late-night call to Coast to Coast AM introduces a quiet, unsettling claim: a perfectly round hole in rural Washington with no measurable bottom. Over multiple calls spanning years, the story grows — deeper tests, stranger events, and implications that drift far beyond geology. This episode tracks Mel’s Hole from its first appearance on the air to the legend it became, focusing only on what was said, when it was said, and why millions of listeners stayed locked in. No visuals. No proof. Just a voice, a hole, and a mystery that refused to stay small.
