Superduperstitious ·

2018/06/14

29 more episodes deep since their first sound adventure and Wyatt and Jake are again reminded that podcasts are in fact an audio-based medium. In that case, it's time for some more auditory strangeness!Jake opens with talk of a persistent, mysterious rumbling heard all around the world — though only by 2% or so of the population. What is the source of The Hum? Is there any way to stop it? Does it just not know the lyrics or something? One harrowing game of Shadowlands Roulette later, Wyatt revisits

2018/06/08

Without a specific theme to this week's episode, ANYTHING can happen! But really just two things happen.Wyatt hits us with an abduction experience that he initially thought would be a Springheeled Jack encounter (Jack was of course too busy eating Scully Joes with the Devil to bother these specific fishermen in Mississippi). Don't believe the eyewitnesses? Just ask Puddin'! Puddin's dead now, but he was a fine man.Jake then relays three creepy, unique nighttime encounters with some horrifying

Episode 32 – The Vegetable Golem of Mouse Mouth

2018/05/31

Would it really be an episode of Superduperstitious without some monsters? Perhaps. But it wouldn't be THIS episode. That's because this episode is full of chlorophyllic creepers and a whole dang family of Sasquatches!Out of the gates, Jake recounts a history of sightings involving a mysterious mossy individual in Florida. An ancient elemental being? Pop culture inspired mass hysteria? A sentient farmer's market? You decide! Wyatt then recites Albert Ostman's very sober account of a completely

Episode 31 – Et tu, E.T.?

2018/05/17

It's high time Superduperstitious took another look skyward, so this week's episode once again handles those interplanetary interlopers, extraterrestrials!Wyatt's up first, with the truly astonishing account of a visit to a Russian park that 40 or so locals would never forget. From documentaries full of comically overacted accents to some silent miming on an audio-only format, this story really has it all. Certainly it has those two things.Jake then brings us into the present with a somewhat unique

Episode 30 – NOW That's What I Call Spooky Spots! 2018

2018/05/10

The world sure does seem to have a lot of haunted places in it, huh? Like, at least several. And not all of them are even houses or abandoned prisons!This week, the boys look at two such creepy locales. First, however, Jake dives into an extra-long and extra-horror-movie-ish update on the Phantom of the Chicago, which has made its way to Wisconsin in order to cockblock some college kids. From there, it's off to a stretch of road in Mission, Texas, where bicyclists don't care for vehicular

Episode 29 – International Mans of Mystery

2018/05/03

For us humans, it stands to reason that oodles of spooky stories focus on beings that are MOSTLY human, but not quite enough for comfort. It's certainly the case on this week's episode!Wyatt first tries his hand at a Crawler update, and it's as creepy as should be expected for those pale, lanky bastards. Then in his main story, Wyatt covers encounters around the world with an entity whose heels might be described as decidedly... spring-like? Sleeping under the stars just got a whole lot

Episode 28 – Things That Go "Bump" in the Lake

2018/04/26

Somehow it took 28 episodes to finally get around to covering lake monsters, but here we are! And don't you worry: this one's got more logs and waves and misidentified loons than you can shake a moose at.Jake starts off with a famous serpentine creature from a British Columbia lake, and while he may not be so convinced of its supernatural origins, he ends up a true believer in its power to make videos of its likeness vanish from the internet. Then, on the other side of a thrilling game of

It's a health-conscious week as the boys embark on a superstition-fueled journey into New England's past.

And are also already dead? And not real.Jake then follows the specific account of a supposedly possessed teenager who was a perfect case study for why proper mental health treatment compels you far

2018/04/12

This week, it's all about them artifact facts! The mysterious relics in question have some pretty far out stories behind them, and the boys are determined to dig in deep.First up, Jake tells the tale of a crystal cranium thought to be sacred to the Mayans, or maybe not. Part of a supposed set of thirteen skulls scattered across the globe, could this polished piece of quartz be the key to immense cosmic power?

The legends are true! Specifically the ones about there being a new episode of Superduperstitious.

Well if it isn't another new episode! This week, Wyatt jumps on that opening-update-segment-train with some ghastly tales of Spring Heeled Jack's move to America, where he gets into some very specific routines. Wyatt then segues into a series of sightings involving a weird little monstermajig that is equally at home in the Massachusetts and Ontario suburbs as it is in Native American mythology. Just keep your cats away from the river.Jake's then proves that he hasn't told his dumbest story yet,

Phantoms abound in this fright-filled episode!

2018/02/22

As we start another two-part Superduperstitious Special Report, we ask you to open your mind to the oneness of all, to let the natural energy surround you, and also to listen to two punkass scientists try describing New Age beliefs verbatim without losing their damned minds. Jake's up first, with some rock talk — specifically, the curious case of Death Valley's sailing stones in its famed Racetrack Playa. He then segues into crystal energy, and the two subjects almost make sense together when heard

Episode 18 – Toilet Morpheus

2018/02/15

There once was a dorky podcast that discussed paranormal phenomena from a scientific perspective. The two hosts never really nailed that logline, but they always at least half tried. One night, they decided to discuss urban legends again, since there are, like, a billion of those.First, after another bat interruption, Wyatt laid down some short tales from Japan, before launching into the story of the infamous Alice Killings. "Why," he asked, "are you being so serious?" Next, Jake spun a yarn about

Monsters! Everyone likes those, right? Well there are two of 'em in this week's episode, and no, they're not the hosts (DO YOU SEE WHAT WE DID THERE?!).After Jake finds yet another update tangent story thing to get bogged down by (now it's those ghoulish humanoids from Episode 10), Wyatt recounts the suspenseful and downright creepy story of the Cowman of Copalis Beach.

Wyatt and Jake crank up the spooks once more with some tales of hauntings! Wait, didn't they get, like, abducted at the end of the last episode? It's probably fine.

Those unlucky Perrons chose a house where, just,
