S5E221 - Mel's Hole

Strange Places ·

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

S5E220 - Olesya Podkorytova Takes a Selfie

Strange Places ·

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

S5E219 - Something is Wrong in Times Square

Strange Places ·

2026/01/18

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

From firsthand accounts to the infamous LeDoux footage, we document the movement, smell, and behavior that continue to defy explanation. No verdict is given—just observation, history, and the enduring presence of the unknown in one of Louisiana’s most isolated landscapes.-----------------Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the

S5E215 - The Kandahar Giant

Strange Places ·

2025/12/14

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

S5E214 - The Sacsayhuaman Stones

Strange Places ·

2025/12/07

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

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

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
