Brent’s out this week, so we’ve summoned Kevin Crispin (Behind Beautiful Things Podcast) to the mic like a substitute teacher who immediately rolls in a TV cart labeled “EXTREMELY CURSED VHS.” And thanks to listener scouts James Polk and Lex Lake, we’ve got two fresh servings of “what in the absolute haunted ham sandwich” weird news.

First stop: the University of Oklahoma, where a construction project hits an unexpected speed bump… made of human remains. 😬 Officials say the bones appear to be century-old cadavers likely used for educational purposes back in the early 1900s, which is both historically fascinating and also a sentence that makes your skin try to uninstall itself. We dig into the eerie archaeology, the academic backstory, and the unsettling vibes of finding yesterday’s lesson plan under today’s foundation.

Then we hop across the pond to Britain’s paranormal buffet line, Cannock Chase, where Bigfoot stories apparently weren’t enough, so the universe hit “add DLC” and dropped a terrifying seven-foot ‘Pigman’ into the woods. Picture a man-shaped problem with a pig head and the confidence of something that knows you can’t run without wheezing. We break down the alleged sightings, the “evidence,” the expert takes, and the important scientific question: if it’s seven feet tall, does it snort in iambic pentameter?

It’s true crime-adjacent history, cryptid chaos, and listener-powered nonsense the way nature (and your algorithm) intended. Strap in, Hysteria Nation: this episode has bones, boars, and bad decisions.
