Happy Thanksgiving! Here's something stupid that we're calling a "special episode." I'm not sorry for it and you clicked on this so that's on you.

This is a non-monetized parody produced for entertainment purposes. I don't have any money and am not worth suing.
At long last Hey Strangeness dives into one of the most perplexing cases of all time - The Doddleston Messages. Featuring Joss and Monique Rose of Fright Life Paranormal, join us for a trip across the Vertical Plane - and beyond. Featuring the Diary of Dirk Buckshot, Entry #2.
Find out how you can help those impacted by Hurricane Helene.
Planet X. Is it real? Probably not - well, maybe. I don't know, man. Here to help us find out is Steve Berg, host of Hi, Strangeness and also a famous actor (!!!). What starts as an insane conversation about missing planets becomes an in depth look at how storytelling effects human society, and how even some of the strangest ideas can have seeds of truth.
Welcome to Season #3! Join us today for an in depth exploration of Dumb UFOs - Why are they so dumb? Why do they keep crashing? Are they all drunk teens? Find out today on Hey Strangeness, with guest host John Killian of Ex V Planis.
In March of 2022 we traveled from Texas to New Mexico to Nevada and back again. Along the way we stopped off at some of the most notorious locations in the UFO community, and at long last, we're back to reflect on the experience.
In our first on the ground "investigation," we experienced a variety of maybe-paranormal-maybe-not activity. The historic Menger Hotel is one of the oldest buildings in San Antonio, and is deeply, deeply haunted. Come hang out with us for the night.
What does it mean to be an ethical creator in the paranormal space? I'm not sure I know, so I asked some friends for their advice. This episode was originally produced as a Strangefolk exclusive, but if we're talking ethics, placing what we feel is important content behind a paywall seemed... wrong. We hope you enjoy it. Special thanks to Jordan Heath and Heather Moser.
Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling
In the first full episode of Hey Strangeness in over a year we take a deep dive (despite numerous technical problems, changing studios and long gaps between recording) into the supernatural world of The Simpsons. Chances are it's a lot stranger than you think.

This interview was originally recorded in September of 2022. Despite it sitting on my computer for months and months, Jeff and I agreed that it would be a waste not to share it. Jeff gave me the inside scoop on some of what goes on behind the scenes of Strangeology, and the dude is always just great to talk to, man. Be sure to check out the links below to see Jeff's work, and after the interview there's a short preview of our next full episode - The Supernatural Simpsons.
The Dogman Triangle: Werewolves in The Lone Star State from Small Town Monsters
In 1977 Laura had an inexplicable encounter with what she described as a "Wolf Man" in Meridian State Park in Meridian, Texas. You can learn more about it here, and by checking out The Texas Dogman Triangle. Special thanks to Small Town Monsters Publishing who holds the copyright for this text. No one told me I had to say that, I just think it sounds cool. And a very special thanks to Jon Gonzales at True Horror Stories of Texas, who first broke this story in 2019. Check out the original article in the link below.

Hey Strangeness will return for Season 2 before you know it. In the mean time, we'd like you to meet Dirk Buckshot, Bigfoot Hunter, and I'd reeeeeally like to tell you about my first book. The Texas Dogman Triangle will be available from Small Town Monsters on May 23rd, and stay tuned for updates on the companion film The Dogman Triangle: Werewolves in The Lone Star State.

This is a weird one. Weird because it's almost never talked about, and even weirder because it involves INVINCIBLE BEAR MONKEYS. Or something. Part cryptid encounter, part UFO story, all BATTLE ROYALE, The Caracas Dwarves has recently become one of our favorite cases. Find out why.

Thank God for Tom DeLonge
After and during the course of a prolific musical career, one of the most important movers in the paranormal/unsolved niche since Thomas Baker Slick Jr. would do something that - to put it lightly - would send shockwaves across the world. In 2017 the To The Stars Academy released what are probably the most impactful pieces of hard evidence regarding the UFO/UAP question to the public. Five years hence, things are drastically different regarding not only the UFO conversation, but the dialogue surrounding the unsolved at large. It's time to talk about why, and give Monsieur DeLonge (of Blink 182 and Angels and Airwaves, two of the greatest musical acts of our generation) the credit he deserves.
Thank God for Tom DeLonge.

They're everywhere. EVERYWHERE. They've been around for centuries, they're taking over our yards, infiltrating our holidays, lining the shelves of our retail establishments... what are we gonna do, you guys? Probably go extinct, because we've basically invited the GNOMES into every aspect of our lives, and when they turn on us it's all over. Join us for a strange and semi in-depth discussion... on GNOMES.
Thank you so much to our good friend Mike G. of @artofthemorningstar for the amazing episode cover which he put together for us without being asked. Make sure you're following Mike, because his art is amazing.

This was going to be a quick episode highlighting a particularly interesting Mesoamerican shapeshifter. Then it turned into a rabbit hole of coincidence and apparent linkages with other folk tales which literally blew our minds. Join us on a strange journey through Mesoamerican mythology in which we find connections with La Lechuza, the European Werewolf, Quetzalcoatl and a lot more. We'll also get into 17th century guerilla fighter Maria De La Candelaria who we're now sort of obsessed with, as well as examine some modern day Nagual sightings courtesy of Nick Redfern and the internet, and talk a little bit about Farcry 6. Dang.

The Lake Michigan Mothman by Tobias Wayland
On the Trail of The Lake Michigan Mothman from Small Town Monsters
Happy New Year! Today we take a semi-deep dive into the mythology of Quetzalcoatl; The Aztec Dragon, The Feathered Serpent, and... The Jesus Snake - ? Quetzalcoatl is steeped in lore spread over decades and centuries, and runs the gambit from "maybe some people saw a dinosaur" to "oh wow this is some crazy stuff right here," - let's ask, though - what else might be behind this legend? It's 2022, and we're talking monsters.
You all know the Yule Cat; and that cat was huge indeed. Or maybe you don't, in which case this episode is perfect for you! Come learn all about the Kurisumasu Dai Kaiju (Christmas Giant Monster) who encourages generosity, textile manufacturing and devours hapless peasants. We've also got details on our HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY which is live right now! And some info on our other show, Strange Conversations. See you next year!
