2024/09/11

We talk about pop culture and why we sometimes feel like we need to know what happens in a series even if we don’t care about that series at all. But, the real meat of the story is about Elenore Zugun, or The Poltergeist Girl. What would you do if you had the powers of Matilda? Caveats? You can’t control it and your village thinks you’re possessed by the devil to the point that it might have given you a complex.Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow

The Real Life Nacho Libre. Sergio Gutiérrez Benítez is possibly more myth than man with a story that never gets told the same way twice,a t least when he’s the one that tells you. Clawing his way away from addiction to priesthood to becoming a luchador to supporting an orphanage to possibly telling the Catholic church where to stick it. Regardless of how much is true to his own telling of his story, the amount of lives he affected is nothing but fact.Email us at:

Here we come with Part 2 of Harry Price and a less boring set of seances. Stella was just an average woman in London, starting a job, looking for a partner, and sometimes causing bright lights to manifest around her when she got scared. This episode follows her ups and downs in her early psychic mediumship that she really didn’t care about, which made it all the more impressive.Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at:

What caused meat to rain down from the sky as if it was a metal song? What kind of meat was it? Why will men taste or smell disgusting things because others do?

An episode chosen by the patreon that’s about demons just wouldn’t be an episode about demons if we didn’t dunk on Ed and Lorraine Warren. After the Conjuring House and Amityville, there was a case in Connecticut involving a family and a young boy who was reportedly possessed by several demons. One of those demons went rogue and helped a young man commit a terrible crime… allegedly. Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at:
