A still frame. A figure in robes. A photo taken inside a church that would go on to shake the world of the paranormal.

Tonight, we’re going back to where it began, to a single photograph and the mystery that refuses to fade.-----------------Head to the Strange Places home website, asylum817.com to keep up with all things Strange Places, as well as the host.

Strange Places ·

2025/11/09

They vanished. An entire English colony, gone without a trace — no bodies, no battle, no sign of struggle. Just one word carved into a post: CROATOAN. For more than four hundred years, the mystery of Roanoke has haunted history books and ghost stories alike. But what if we’ve been looking at it the wrong way? In this episode of Strange Places, we try to dig into the evidence that might finally explain what really happened. Lets see if we can finally put this mystery to bed and find out what happened

S5E209 - The Black Monk of Pontefract

Strange Places ·

2025/11/02

In the late 1960s, a quiet family home at 30 East Drive in Pontefract, England, became the site of one of the most violent hauntings ever recorded. Objects flew, walls bled, and an unseen force attacked a teenage girl. Witnesses claimed to see a hooded figure in black — a ghostly monk said to have been executed centuries earlier on that very ground. Decades later, the house still seethes with activity, and no one has ever found a rational explanation.-----------------Head to the Strange Places home

Strange Places ·

2025/10/19

In 2003, a man named Andrew Carlssin was reportedly arrested by the FBI after turning $800 into $350 million through impossibly accurate stock trades. During interrogation, he supposedly confessed to being a time traveler from the year 2256, claiming he only wanted to make a quick fortune and got too carried away, leading to his arrest. Then, just as suddenly as he appeared, Carlssin vanished without a trace, leaving behind no record of his existence. Was it a hoax, a government cover-up, or proof

Strange Places ·

2025/09/28

Perched on the windswept Hook Peninsula in Ireland, Loftus Hall has earned its reputation as the country’s most haunted house. With a dark history of death, despair, and a legendary visit from the Devil himself, the mansion’s crumbling halls are said to echo with restless spirits. It’s a place where myth and reality blur, leaving behind a legacy of fear that still chills visitors to this day, but are the stories true? Has the place actually been visited, and is haunted, by the devil himself

A song so famous it defined an era… and so feared it’s been banned in bars. From Claude François’ bizarre death to the karaoke killings in the Philippines, and even the strange misfortunes of Sinatra, Elvis, and Sid Vicious—‘My Way’ has earned a reputation as more than just a ballad.

2025/09/07

In this episode, we explore the chilling legend of Sir Edwin Landseer’s ‘Man Proposes, God Disposes,’ a painting of polar bears scavenging the doomed Franklin expedition. Housed at Royal Holloway, University of London, students and staff believe it brings bad luck during exams, so it’s traditionally covered with a Union Jack. It has been responsible for multiple exam failures, feelings of intense fear and dread, as well as a purported suicide. We dive into the history, the folklore, and the eerie

Strange Places ·

2025/08/10

North Brother Island is a small, abandoned island in New York City's East River, between the Bronx and Rikers Island. Once home to Riverside Hospital, it was used to quarantine patients with contagious diseases like smallpox and typhoid—most infamously "Typhoid Mary" Mallon. After the hospital closed, it briefly housed WWII veterans and then drug rehab programs before being completely shut down in the 1960s. Today, it's off-limits to the public and overgrown, a decaying time

The “Ghost Blimp” refers to the mysterious 1942 incident involving U.S. Navy blimp L-8, which returned to land near San Francisco without its two-man crew. The blimp lifted off on a routine anti-submarine patrol during WWII but was later found drifting aimlessly and damaged—with the engines running, doors open, and all safety gear intact. No trace of the crew was ever found, and despite extensive investigations, their disappearance remains unsolved. The L-8 became known as the "Ghost
