Strange Deranged Beyond Insane

Send us Fan Mail Tarot creators are deleting accounts, “WitchTok is going away” is trending, and the rumor machine is working overtime. We jump into what’s really underneath the drama: how content moderation, political pressure, and shifting platform rules can quietly squeeze spiritual creators, paranormal storytellers, and anyone talking about taboo subjects. I share why I’m not betting my voice...

Send us Fan Mail A haunted hospital is creepy enough, but a haunted hospital with a former birthing room hits differently when the air turns thick and your chest feels tight. We’re back at Stimson Hospital with Kristina and Ryder, and we’re doing what most paranormal shows avoid: playing raw, unedited investigation audio so you can hear the pauses, the confusion, and the moments that might be real...

Send us Fan Mail A month off doesn’t mean we went quiet. We came back with a plan, a special guest, and a location that has been living rent-free in Michigan paranormal circles for years: Stimson Hospital in Eaton Rapids. Ryder joins me on the mic before we hit the road, and we get honest about what scares us, what we think is fake online, and what might feel very different when you’re standing in...

Send us Fan Mail Something feels wrong lately and not just in the news. I’m Melissa, and I’m pulling together the clips, messages, and weird little “how is this real?” moments that people keep sending me, from virus panic and cruise ship drama to the deeper anxiety underneath it all: trust is gone, reality feels slippery, and the world keeps dangling massive stories and then dropping them like not...

Send us Fan Mail A loophole that supposedly makes murder “legal” inside Yellowstone. Appalachian warnings that tell you not to look up in the trees at night. A haunted Ohio building big enough to swallow your confidence whole. If that sounds like your kind of weird, we’ve got you. Melissa is joined by Carissa for a rapid-fire ride through spooky trivia, paranormal folklore, and conspiracy-flavored...

Send us Fan Mail A truck shows up in a tiny cemetery with its taillights on, and then it simply vanishes. No headlights cutting through the dark, no engine pulling past us, no way out that makes sense with the loop we just drove. That’s how our night at Tyler Cemetery starts, and it only gets stranger from there. I’m Melissa, and I’m joined by Dawn Martin, owner of the Ghost Whispers paranormal te...

Send us Fan Mail Something about 2 a.m. makes the internet feel like a portal. I’m sitting up with my baby, saving clips that make me stop cold, and pulling on the threads until they connect: power, surveillance, belief, and the uneasy sense that reality is getting thinner at the edges. We start in dark waters with conspiracy theories around Epstein, trafficking networks, and why certain “files” c...

Send us Fan Mail Hollywood can invent a curse in a writers’ room, but what happens when real life already looks like the script? I watched Netflix’s Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen and couldn’t shake the feeling that its “marry your soulmate or die” premise echoes the way people talk about the Kennedy family tragedies. So I pulled the thread: the red flags, the dread, the wedding-week pressu...

Send us Fan Mail We blinked and somehow “self-care” became normal, but our millennial starter kit was Red Bull, all-nighters, and showing up anyway. So we’re rewinding to the chaos era: college drinking games, broke-kid math, road trip rituals, prank calls, body glitter, burned eyeliner, and the kind of childhood freedom you only get when there aren’t Ring cameras on every porch. It’s funny, messy...

Send us Fan Mail Money feels like numbers until you watch a whole crowd panic at the same time. We go straight into that uncomfortable space where behavioral finance meets belief systems, asking why “timing” keeps showing up as the hidden lever behind market moves. I lay out my woo-woo girl math: cycles plus patterns plus human behavior, scaled up to millions of people, becomes the market. Whether...

Send us Fan Mail All 50 states on the map at the same time, each lighting up with a different kind of danger. A polar vortex here, a heat dome there, an atmospheric river ripping through another region, and tornado conditions building in the middle of it all. When extreme weather starts stacking like that, it doesn’t just feel “bad” it feels unreal, like the country is living through climate chang...

Send us Fan Mail Friday the 13th hits different when the internet is feeding you symbols, “proof,” and pattern after pattern. I’m Melissa, and on All My Spookies I follow that itch to connect the dots, from seeing 13 everywhere to asking why some stories about fame and death refuse to die. We go deep on celebrity replacement theory, Illuminati symbolism, and the idea of the entertainment industry...

Send us Fan Mail What if the clock strikes 2:30 AM twice and truth splits with it? We kick off with daylight saving time’s strange logic, how “fall back” creates duplicate hours, and why that matters for alibis, timestamps, and the way we trust time itself. From there we slide into the human edge of mystery: a woman found six decades after vanishing who chose to stay hidden, and a long-missing dau...

Send us Fan Mail Horror that chills, true crime that stings, and a watchlist worth losing sleep over. We dive into a stack of titles that actually earned our time, starting with the eerie pull of NOS4A2 and the surprise gem School Spirits, where the afterlife turns into a sharp, character-led mystery. From there we move through A True Haunting’s careful slow burn and the bold world-building of Wel...

Send us Fan Mail Shadows visit the edges of sleep, and somehow they all look the same. We open on the global map of sleep paralysis—night hags, jinn, and the infamous Hat Man—and sort what fear circuitry can explain from what shared stories refuse to surrender. I bring first-hand encounters and listener accounts into the light, then test them against what we know about REM atonia, amygdala alarms,...

Send us Fan Mail What if the grind you’ve been praising is just survival mode wearing a shiny badge? We open up about how motherhood shattered a hustle-first identity, slowed life to a human pace, and made room for presence, financial creativity, and clearer priorities. That same stillness sharpened our ear for truth in a noisy spiritual internet, where intrusive thoughts often get sold as downloa...

Send us Fan Mail A mirror that moves before you do is creepy. A mirror that smiles first is worse. I open up about four true experiences I’ve rarely shared: the Bloomfield basement lined with twenty tiny rooms and floor-to-ceiling mirrors, a soft-spoken janitor in a shuttered school who didn’t realize he’d stayed on, a Devil’s Night at Eloise that lured me down a sunlit hallway that wasn’t lit at...

Send us Fan Mail A quiet parlor, a fallen doll, and a knock that answered from behind a tiny attic door—our night at Bihl Manor in Fremont, Ohio, threads personal curiosity through a house layered with history. We set up in the former funeral parlor, walked the halls Daisy once called home, and watched patterns form: a music box that chimed when we laughed, an iPad that hunted focus on its own, an...

Send us Fan Mail The Midwest rarely screams. It waits. Flat horizons swallow sound, lakes turn to glass without warning, and a single light on a lonely road asks questions you don’t want to answer. We start by mapping those quiet rules—the ones locals follow without saying—then thread that sensibility into how we think about fear, healing, and the stories we tell when the world goes still. From th...

Send us Fan Mail You can feel when a frequency shifts. What started as a quiet archive of voices and places has become a living chant that repeats across miles and years, shaping how we listen, how we speak, and how the strange shows up in everyday life. For our 200th milestone, we open the door on what kept us going long after most shows fade, why observation beats attention, and how travel and i...

Send us Fan Mail Ever blink and find a figure closer than before? That’s where we start—inside a Ray Township house that feels wrong from the moment the door opens. A painter hears footsteps above an empty second floor, sees a woman in a floral dress advance with each blink, and later watches a shadow spin in a lit bedroom where no fan exists. A neighbor adds a thread about a German family, mispla...

Send us Fan Mail A pinball machine hums in the dark, and a triangle of friends begins to crack under the weight of charm, money, and whispered control. We share a true-to-core, dramatized story about Malik, a collector who stages not just rooms but relationships, Kaiser, the quiet shadow who keeps the loop running, and Eloise, the friend who learns to read flattery as a warning sign. What starts a...

Send us Fan Mail When fear stops shouting and starts humming, life gets strangely quiet. We unpack how constant alarms from news cycles and social feeds train the nervous system to adapt, why that adaptation looks like numbness, and how to rebuild attention without feeding panic. Our north star is simple: awareness returns agency, fear mongering steals it. So we draw a hard line—no catastrophe pre...

Send us Fan Mail The air felt different before I had words for it. Time slipped, the year turned, and my dreams began to land with the weight of lived experience. I’m sharing why sleep suddenly feels like stepping into a parallel life—and how postpartum cracked open a deeper intuition that now flags a room’s energy before I even arrive. We trace a path from community plans—investigating libraries,...
