This podcast is a collection of these bizarre tales. Each episode I tell a separate story and share my own unfiltered opinions and theories about it.

Have You Seen This Man?: The Man Everyone Dreams Of

Certainly Strange ·

2024/01/26

A face has been haunting me. Not that of a friend, or a colleague, and no – not my own. It is a face that I saw on the internet, a single drawing of a man’s face. This man’s face gives me such an unsettling feeling in my gut, a feeling of dread that creeps up my spine and gets a hold of me. And when I read the story behind the face, I grew even more disturbed. But that was not even the whole of the story… Rate and review us at Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and come say hi over on our Instagram,

“I don’t know where I am. I’m so cold. Please help me, I’m lost.” These were the words spoken by Dakota James, a 23 year-old student in Pittsburgh on the evening of December the 15th, 2016, when calling his friend, Shelley. 5 weeks later, on January the 25th, Dakota James disappeared. His case would be one similar to hunderds more in America... Review us on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and come say hi over at our Instagram, @certainlystrangethepodcast.

2023/10/27

As you wander into the fields near my village, you will find little hills. They are graves - the burial mounds of an ancient people. And as the fog rises between these mounds, the people around here whisper the name Witte Wieven, or White Ladies... but who or what are they?

Obey Or Else: The Circleville Letters

Certainly Strange ·

2023/09/08

Everyone has secrets, even in a village where everyone seems to know everyone. Perhaps even especially in small villages such as those. But this anonymous writer seemed to know all of them, of everyone. About the things that happened between closed doors. An unseen stalker in the shadows, lurking where you least expect it. Like big brother, watching you. Inhabitants of the small village of Circleville received more than 1000 letters over the span of 20 years by an anonymous writer who threatened

Do You Fear The Big Bad Wolf?: The Werewolf Scare of...

2023/09/01

There live things in the forest that you know to fear. There is always something lurking in the shadows that is out to get you. If you were a farmer anywhere during the middle ages, or even in the ages that came after that, there was one creature that you feared most of all. The wolf. We have all heard about how much people used to fear witches, but wolves, or rather, people who had the ability to change their shape into that of a wolf, were perhaps even more frighting. And in some cases, we are

A Strange History of Masked Balls

Certainly Strange ·

2023/08/25

From bigfoot to trees, from nearly burning a king alive to a vintage attempt at Transformers... When you think of masked balls, you probably think of wide halls and chandeliers, women dressed in beautiful gowns and men in elaborate suits, their faces hidden behind colourful masks. But as much as media likes to romanticize these masquerades, the history behind them can be quite strange and quite gruesome at times. But mostly, it’s just strange.

The Man In The Iron Mask

2023/08/04

It was the 1680´s in France, the time of Louis XIV, The Sun King, a rule under which France thrived into becoming the jewel of Europe. But, as they say, the brightest lights cast the darkest shadows. In a solitary cell in the Bastille sat a man, his face obscured by a deep black velvet mask. No one was allowed to know his identity or to know his face, and the man was not allowed to speak.

Double double toil and trouble; fire burn and caldron bubble. These lines will forever be associated with witchcraft.

Home is where the heart is. Your home is your most sacred space, where you feel guarded and safe from the dangers of the outside world. But, if the stories are to be believed, there is one house in particular that wishes nothing but harm upon anyone who dares live inside its walls.

It seems to be straight out of the storybooks of the brothers Grimm. A girl who fell asleep and who did not wake up for 9 whole years. That is, if we are to believe the story.

The Secret of Glamis Castle

2023/06/30

Some secrets are made to be found out with time, yet some secrets are meant to stay secret forever. The latter speaks for the secret of Glamis Castle, so very dark no one dared speak of it – until it was lost to time. But with enough clues, we might deduce the nature of this mystery. And if what I have found is true, these secrets of the castle are quite dark indeed. Follow us over on Instagram at @certainlystrangethepodcast or visit our website, ⁠⁠www.certainlystrange.com⁠

2023/06/23

We have nothing to fear from fairy tales. The evil witches and wicked stepmothers are nothing more than words on the pages of a book, the tales of our own imagination and nothing more. But this is not true for all fairy tales. Some fairy tales, you see, are true. And one of these tales is the story of a ratcatcher who stole 130 children away from the German city of Hamelin, never to be seen again.

There lay two bodies in the shallow water, dead, and one of them was a king. King Ludwig II of Bavaria had many names. The mad king, the fairy tale king, the swan king. He loved nothing more than fairy tales, and the buildings he commissioned seemed truly as if they had come straight out of a story book. How terrible, then, that his life should change into a tragedy, a murder mystery no one quite seems to be able to solve. There, the two bodies lay in the shallow water, dead, and neither of them had

I Do Believe In Fairies: The Cottingley Fairy Affair

We all tell a white lie once in a while, simply because it is convenient. But imagine one of those simple, small lies spinning out of control so thoroughly that you suddenly are in the spotlights of an entire nation, with one of the most famous writers in history swearing that your little lie is the truth. This is exactly what happened with Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths when they tried to trick their mothers into thinking that fairies were real – simply so that they would not be mad at them for

The footsteps stopped right in front of her room, like they did every night. Ethel lay in bed, frozen in fear with her bedsheets pulled up to her chin. She hardly even dared to breathe, afraid that whomever – or whatever, was outside of her door would hear her. Then came the knocks, and then the whispers, hardly audible even in the silence of the night. But there was something, she could sense it. And what else would you expect, when you are a kid living in the most haunted house in England. The

The Devil's Own Gang of Thieves: The Buckriders

2022/12/30

In the 18th century, in the Netherlands and Belgium there were whispers of demons who rode goats through the night sky, robbing any house and church they came upon. Even though witches and fairies have, for most people, faded into the back pages of history as nothing more than fairy tales, I can assure you, the Buckriders were quite real.

Lot 666, then: a chandelier in pieces. Some of you may recall the strange affair of the Phantom of the Opera: a mystery never fully explained. – These lines feature at the opening of the musical The Phantom of the Opera, an adaptation of a book by the same name. There might be a little bit more truth to the fiction than one might think, however, when on may 20th, 1896 the weights of the chandelier of the Paris Opera broke and killed a woman in the audience.

The house was haunted. The housemaid swore by it. She heard footsteps coming from the attic and strange voices in the walls. Things were displaced whilst everyone swore that they hadn’t touched them. There was only one explanation according to Kreszenz Rieger and that was that the farm on which she worked was haunted. But was it, really?This episode includes a promo for Paranomal Exposed.

The Legend Of The Flying Dutchman

2022/12/09

The sea is deep and dark and as much of a mystery to us as the starry skies that we look up to at night, and it has frightened us since the beginning of time. Wherever ships went, whispers of sea monsters were carried on the wind, and stories of ghost ships that seem to never lay anchor, doomed to forever dwell in the unending blue. And the most famous of all these ghost stories is that of the Flying Dutchman.This episode can be viewed over on YouTube on the channel Anemone Nova. Visit
