House of Weird

This week we head back to Strasbourg, 1518, where something genuinely unexplainable happened: people started dancing… and didn’t stop. No music. No festival. No obvious cause. Just one woman stepping into the street and dancing uncontrollably — and then dozens more joining her. Then hundreds. For days. For weeks. People collapsing from exhaustion, dehydration, and in some cases, dying mid-dance. I...

This week we go deep into one of the most famous and unsettling conspiracy theories of all time: Paul McCartney is dead — and has been since 1966. According to the theory, at the height of Beatlemania, Paul McCartney died in a car crash after leaving a recording session. The band — and those around them — made a decision that would shape music history forever: they replaced him. A double. Surgical...

This week we investigate The Philadelphia Experiment, one of the most infamous WWII conspiracy theories involving the USS Eldridge, alleged electromagnetic invisibility testing, teleportation claims, and stories of sailors fused into steel during a secret U.S. Navy experiment. The legend says that in October 1943, the U.S. military attempted a radar invisibility experiment at the Philadelphia Nava...

After a brief detour into whatever nonsense we were talking about last episode, we’re back with one of the most genuinely unsettling neurological conditions on record: Alien Hand Syndrome — a real, documented disorder where a person’s hand appears to act independently of their conscious intent.   We dig into what Alien Hand Syndrome actually is, how it’s most commonly associated with split-brain s...

Is the world being slowly prepared for a fake alien invasion?   In this episode of House of Weird, we dig into Project Blue Beam — one of the strangest, longest-running conspiracy theories in modern paranormal culture. First emerging in the 1990s, the theory claims that global powers are laying the groundwork for a staged extraterrestrial event designed to reshape religion, politics, and public ob...

This week we’re heading to Northumberland for one of the strangest cases in British paranormal history: The Hexham Heads — two tiny stone carvings dug up in a backyard that somehow triggered poltergeist activity, psychic fallout, and a werewolf-shaped visitor who wandered into people’s bedrooms like he owned the place.   We break down the full timeline: the boys finding the heads in their garden,...

This week on House of Weird, we’re diving into one of the creepiest corners of paranormal lore: astral home invasions — the phenomenon where people claim something enters their home, bedroom, or even their body… without ever opening a door.   We break down what an “astral intruder” supposedly is, why these attacks tend to happen at night, and why so many cases involve the same chilling details: th...

This week on House of Weird, we plunge headfirst into one of the strangest UFO religions on Earth: the Raëlian Movement — the group that believes humanity was genetically engineered by extraterrestrials called the Elohim, that Jesus was cloned in a lab, and that the aliens want us to build them a luxury Elohim Embassy so they can come back.   We get into Raël’s original UFO encounter, his tour of...

This week on House of Weird, the lads tackle a chaotic mix of mysteries, legends, and general nonsense. We kick off with the Great Emu War (Australia’s most embarrassing military defeat), before diving into The Vertical Plane, reincarnation stories that refuse to stay buried, the mysterious man from Taured, uncanny time slips, and the eternally cursed Dybbuk Box. Simon once again demonstrates his...

He called himself The Great Beast 666, claimed to summon demons in the desert, and offered to psychically fight Hitler for the British government. It’s House of Weird’s deep dive into the life and chaos of Aleister Crowley — the poet, magician, pervert, and self-declared prophet who may or may not have started modern occultism by accident.   This week, Andrew and Simon explore the bizarre career o...

This week we flap our way into one of America’s creepiest urban legends: the Mothman of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Was it a giant bird, a government experiment gone wrong, or a harbinger of doom? Between glowing red eyes, collapsed bridges, and small-town hysteria, this one’s got it all.   We cover the original 1966 sightings, the chaos that followed, and how Mothman went from local terror to...

For more than 200 years, treasure hunters have been digging into a small patch of ground on Oak Island, Nova Scotia, chasing the promise of buried riches. What started with a depression in the earth beneath an oak tree has spiralled into generations of obsession: pirate loot, Templar relics, Shakespeare’s manuscripts, or maybe just a very elaborate sinkhole. In this episode we dig (pun intended) i...

We’re back poking around in Australia’s weirder history — this time diving into one of the country’s biggest mass UFO sightings. In April 1966, over 200 students, teachers, and locals watched a saucer-shaped craft land in a paddock near Westall High School… before the military turned up and made the evidence — and a lot of the witnesses — go very quiet.   We’ll cover the frantic chase into The Gra...

We’re grimacing our way back into the weird this week with a lesser-known Scottish freak: the Gurning Man of Glasgow.   Described as a bald, grinning figure who shows up in bedrooms, back lanes, and the occasional low-budget AI fever dream, this creepy entity plagued Glasgow in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Is he a ghost? A cryptid? A hallucination brought on by too much Irn-Bru and late-night Buc...

This week on House of Weird, we explore the viral urban legend known as The Elevator Game—a creepy ritual that supposedly transports you to another dimension via a specific sequence of button presses. All you need is a 10-storey building, an empty lift, and a questionable sense of curiosity. We dig into strange accounts from South Korea, vanishing TikTokers, and the ominous figure of the mysteriou...

This week on House of Weird, we’re heading straight into Utah’s most cursed real estate listing: Skinwalker Ranch. It’s got everything — UFOs, poltergeists, cattle mutilations, giant bulletproof wolves, portals, and enough government-funded weirdness to make your head spin.   We dig into some of the most infamous encounters from the ranch, including glowing orange portals, invisible monsters, and...

We’re back with another barely-researched, definitely-derailed episode of House of Weird—the funny paranormal podcast that dares to ask: what if you saw a coyote on two legs screaming in your mum’s voice? Yeah. That. This week, we dive into the Navajo legend of the Skinwalker—a terrifying entity said to be a witch who can shapeshift into animals and mimic human voices. They’re creepy, fast, and of...

House of Weird returns with a fresh dose of paranormal dread, and this week we’re answering a knock at the door—and immediately regretting it. In this episode, we dive into the unsettling phenomenon of the Black-Eyed Kids—childlike entities with pitch-black eyes who show up asking to be let in… usually late at night, always somewhere remote, and never for anything good. We explore the origins of t...

House of Weird is back, and this time, we might have genuinely made a huge mistake. In this episode, we summon—uh, we mean discuss—The Hat Man: the sleep paralysis shadow figure who apparently got sick of lurking in nightmares and decided to go global. We share real encounters, terrible theories, and spend far too long wondering if you can actually fistfight a ghost in a hat. (Spoiler: you cannot....

We’re back! After a long hiatus, House of Weird has returned to your ears—whether you asked for it or not. In this episode of our funny paranormal podcast, we explore a ghost sighting at a South Australian pub and a creepy Reddit story featuring a sleep paralysis ghost and a haunting that follows a poor soul from house to house. Is it a groundbreaking tale of terror? No. Is it technically an episo...

House of Weird Oh god, that sure was an effort to edit. So much racism, homophobia and general hate in that one from Simon.

House of Weird Yo! We're back after a longer than expected holiday break. Pumped and primed for the new year! Andrew brings a news story that depicts ACTUAL footage of a moving haunted doll. See the link to make up your own mind. Simon recounts an ACTUAL listener submission about a haunted ex girlfriend (her house at least) and Wilhelms choice is an ACTUAL banger about castle ghosts. This episode...

House of Weird Leonard! This week, Simon regales us with a news story that isn't paranormal in the slightest. Its got nothing to do with ghosts, or cryptids or aliens or water divining or tarot or mind reading or anything. It is a bit gross though. The paranormal experience is from far left field and involves a weird goat, which is cool because I picked it. Ironically, since recording, Simon has c...

House of Weird Hospital Ghost and More Ouija This week, we tell a cautionary tale about an activity that no one should ever do under any circumstances..... again. Theres a news story with a great video that 100% proves the existence of ghosts.... until it doesn't.
