S6E228 - The Baigong Pipes

Strange Places ·

2026/03/29

Deep in western China, strange metal-like pipes jut from the walls of a remote mountain cave. Some are tiny. Others are massive. Many appear to run toward a nearby lake. When the discovery was reported in the early 2000s near Mount Baigong in the Qaidam Basin, it ignited a storm of speculation. Were these the remnants of an ancient civilization? Evidence of alien technology? Or something even stranger? Initial tests revealed iron-rich structures embedded in rock, traces of unidentified materials,

S6E226 - The Omen

Strange Places ·

2026/03/08

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

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?-----------------Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate

S5E222 - The ISS Gets a Knock

Strange Places ·

2026/02/08

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

S5E221 - Mel's Hole

2026/02/01

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

2026/01/25

In 2015, a Russian businesswoman snapped a routine selfie during a domestic flight that would soon ignite an international firestorm. Hovering in the background, a terrifying, large-headed figure with sunken obsidian eyes appeared to be traveling among unsuspecting passengers. Tonight, we go beyond the viral headlines and internet folklore to perform a clinical dissection of this high-altitude enigma. Is it a real alien? Or is something else playing tricks on us? The photo is oddly frightening, and

In the heart of Times Square, witnesses claim time itself sometimes stops — crowds freeze, traffic halts, and the city falls silent. We investigate the stories, the patterns, the believers, and the skeptics, unravel the origin of the Rudolph Fentz legend, and dig into whether there’s any evidence at all. A journey through mystery, folklore, and the irresistible lure of the unexplained.-----------------Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate

In the remote deserts of Kandahar, Afghanistan, whispers tell of a giant—towering well over eight feet tall, with skin so pale it almost glows in the moonlight. Locals speak of an otherworldly strength, of bodies buried in the sand that defy explanation, and of soldiers who vanished without a trace. Known as the Kandahar Giant, this figure exists on the edge of myth and reality, a shadow lurking in one of the most war-torn regions of the world. Some say it’s a remnant of an ancient race, others

The Sacsayhuamán stones sit above Cusco like a quiet dare—massive, irregular blocks weighing tens to over a hundred tons, locked together with unnerving precision and no mortar. Their tight seams, strange angles, and earthquake-proof design make the whole site feel less like a ruin and more like a message from a civilization that knew exactly what it was doing. Even now, no one can fully explain how the Incas shaped and moved stones this huge. Sacsayhuamán remains one of the most enigmatic
