S6E234 - Zone F
4d ago00:35:38Tap to summarizeA name that doesn’t appear on any map. A place referred to only as “Zone F,” carried through scattered accounts with no fixed origin or location. And supposedly, NASA is at the center of it. Also at the center is a repeated story of a deep descent beneath the ocean’s surface—an encounter with something unidentified, and a return that never tells the same version twice. Presence, structure, movement . . . the details shift, but the sequence remains. Something massive was supposedly beneath the water of Zone F. And as quickly as it was reported, it was whisked away and now only appears in legend.This episode traces the story as it circulates: what is said, what changes, and what refuses to settle into a single account. What is Zone F? What was found there? And is it all true?-----------------Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate III-----------------This podcast can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, and wherever you get your Podcast listening experience.-----------------Want to advertise on the show?

2w ago00:42:36Tap to summarizeThe “butterfly people” refers to stories that emerged after the devastating 2011 EF5 tornado in Joplin, Missouri. 1,150 people injured. Over 158 killed. Survivors reported mysterious strangers — often dressed in white or appearing suddenly — helping pull people from rubble, giving aid, even flying them to heaven, and then disappearing without anyone being able to identify them afterward.Some interpret these accounts as something explainable and grounded in reality, while others view them as folklore that grew out of trauma, chaos, and the human need to find meaning in disaster. Some swear with everything they have that the creatures were real. Either way, the stories became a modern “guardian angel” legend tied to one of the deadliest tornadoes in U.S. history. But is it truly supernatural?-----------------Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate III-----------------This podcast can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, and wherever you get your Podcast listening experience.-----------------
Transcribe →S6E232 - The Kentucky Meat Shower
3w ago00:36:00Tap to summarizeIn 1876, near Olympia Springs, Kentucky, witnesses reported chunks of meat falling from a clear sky in what became known as the Kentucky Meat Shower. No storm, no explosion, and no clear source were ever identified. The event was investigated at the time, with early conclusions pointing to animal tissue, though explanations varied. Modern theories often suggest vulture activity, but none fully account for every detail. A preserved sample is said to still exist, yet modern testing has not produced a definitive answer. In this episode, we break down what was reported, what was studied, and why this strange case still remains unresolved nearly 150 years later.-----------------Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate III-----------------This podcast can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, and wherever you get your Podcast listening experience.-----------------
Transcribe →S6E231 - The Beast of Bray Road
4w ago00:39:40Tap to summarizeA deep dive into one of America’s most persistent modern rural mysteries, this episode of *Strange Places* explores the long-running reports from Bray Road in Wisconsin, where witnesses across decades describe encounters with a large, upright, hair-covered figure moving along the edge of farmland and forest. From early scattered accounts to the surge of sightings in the late 1980s and 1990s, and continuing into modern reports, the pattern refuses to fade. Eyewitness testimony, disputed physical traces, and conflicting interpretations have all kept the case alive, while no single explanation fully accounts for every detail. This episode examines the origins of the phenomenon, the consistency of the descriptions, the skeptics who attribute it to misidentified wildlife, and the possibility that something still remains unresolved in the rural dark along Bray Road.----------------Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate III-----------------This podcast can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, and wherever you get your Podcast listening experience.-----------------

Transcribe →S6E228 - The Baigong Pipes
Mar 2900:39:26Tap to summarizeDeep 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, and even reports of radioactivity. The pipes seemed far too uniform to be natural — yet no known culture could be linked to their construction. In this episode of Strange Places, we explore the discovery of the Baigong Pipes, the paranormal theories surrounding them, and the ongoing debate between believers and skeptics.-----------------Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate III-----------------This podcast can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, and wherever you get your Podcast listening experience.-----------------

Transcribe →S6E226 - The Omen
Mar 800:28:20Tap to summarizeIn 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 final judgment to you.-----------------Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate III-----------------This podcast can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, and wherever you get your Podcast listening experience.-----------------
