S5E221 - Mel's Hole
Feb 100:41:59Tap to summarizeA 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 voice, a hole, and a mystery that refused to stay small.-----------------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.-----------------

S5E220 - Olesya Podkorytova Takes a Selfie
Jan 2500:33:55Tap to summarizeIn 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 seems to corroborate the descriptions of extraterrestrial beings. What did it want? Why was it on that plane? Is there a message here . . . or something more down to earth?-----------------See the photo here in its original state, before it was badly enhanced: https://pikabu.ru/story/strannyiy_obekt_na_foto_v_samolete_bliki_prizrak_prishelets_ili_direktor_rentv_3870219Here is the photo on an American website after it was ruined by too much enhancement, but the 'alien' can still be seen: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/12/21/russian-woman-believes-she-was-photobombed-by-an-alien-after-post-bizarre-selfie_n_8852504.html-----------------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.-----------------

Jan 1800:35:35Tap to summarizeIn 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 III-----------------This podcast can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, and wherever you get your Podcast listening experience.-----------------

Jan 1100:33:52Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we explore the depths of Honey Island Swamp, a place where mystery persists and sightings of a towering, bipedal creature have spanned decades.

Feb 16, 202500:45:04Tap to summarizeGranger Taylor was a Canadian mechanical genius who became obsessed with UFOs and the idea of interstellar travel. In 1980, he left a cryptic note for his family stating he was embarking on a journey aboard an alien spacecraft, then vanished without a trace. Years later, fragments of his truck were found in a remote area, leading to speculation that he either perished in an explosion or truly left on the journey he envisioned.-----------------Head to the Strange Places home website, asylum817.com to keep up with all things Strange Places, as well as the host.

Transcribe →S4E172 - The Mantis Man
Feb 9, 202500:43:20Tap to summarizeThis week we discuss a different kind of cryptid. One so strange, so bizarre, so otherworldly and impossible that it has cast fear into the hearts of all who unknowingly crossed its path. Theories range from extraterrestrial to a being from another dimension, but one thing is constant. Something is frightening people in the Pine Barrens . . . and no one knows where it came from, what it wants, or who will report it next.-----------------Head to the Strange Places home website, asylum817.com to keep up with all things Strange Places, as well as the host.
