Everything is exactly as originally planned in this final episode of March! And what exactly IS planned? Bugs . From expert testimonial on an insect-adjacent and highly ponderable optical phenomenon (not to mention a book that Jake spent two actual dollars on), to a roundup of the creepiest of crawlies, this ep’s got it all! Specifically if those are the only things that there are. Check your terg...

The boys are back, with another response to a nonsense prompt! “Calendars” as a topic may have proved more of a challenge to pull off than expected, but don’t think for one instant that you won’t learn everything there is to know about Greek clocks and Corona, CA before this episode is over! Don’t even DARE. EPISODE LINKS Support Ukraine: https://www.npr.org/2022/02/25/1082992947/ukraine-support-h...

An unprecedented SECOND consecutive week of very-nearly-SEO-friendly episode titles finds the boys examining… nouns, I guess? Jake heads to the mountains of Tibet to uncover the mystery of the Dropa stones! Do they contain the secret history of a hitherto unknown people? Or did some white guy see a Liangzhu bi and then decide to get “creative”? Wyatt follows this with news of both outer space and...

An impromptu prompt leads to a rare example of an episode whose title actually reflects its content! Buckle in for tales of fairies and their snacks, perhaps too much history/science/folklore, and also a very important rat. It’s food time on this week’s Superduperstitious!

What’s that sound? I mean, other than the whole “podcast” thing? Oh ho, it’s yet another episode ABOUT sounds! Jake ventures into the Arkansas/Missouri woods in search of the Ozark Howler. Is it a monster? Is it animals? Yes! Wyatt then revisits New York for some Upstate acoustic oddities that are almost certainly better than a pair of cans on a string. ALMOST CERTAINLY. Grab a whole bottle of win...

The saga continues, as your intrepid hosts continue not to venture outside of the American northeast! Wyatt begins with the land of his alma mater, New York, to examine the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and the legends that made that legend so legendary. Jake then heads very slightly north to Vermont for some swine-themed terror. What was (or IS) the Pigman of Northfield, and can it be an urban legend...

Could these animals talk? Or was each one just another dumb ol’ Clever Hans ? In any case, rest assured that both Alex the parrot and Koko the gorilla were every bit as cute as you might have thought. But not Clever Hans. Man, f*** that guy.

It’s Hallow-friggin-ween again, the time of year when dear friends and podcast cohosts gather around way too late at night, make several beeswax candles from scratch, try to read by said candles’ light, and generally just get real tired on mic. You know, the universal tradition! EPISODE LINKS All-purpose show links: https://superduperstitious.com/links Four Phantoms email: fourphantomsbeer@gmail.c...

Fantastical exploits of the 19th century lead the boys on a slog through what can be best described as “ultraviolet prose”. And an unintentional amount of bat people! Wyatt tackles the sluggish flotsam of a fully unabridged article from The Wilson World in 1895 to get to the bottom of a weird skeleton situation. Then Jake forsakes the shackles of his sublunary life for some extremely heavily abrid...

All good things must come to an end, but also August Around the World has to as well. In any case, it’s Kenya time! Their long TREK finally at an end, the boys celebrate by checking out some cool Kenyan creatures and a lake that will kill you. Wyatt leads the way with the Nandi bear. It is neither Nandi, nor is it a bear – discuss. Then after an overdue Phantom update that definitely wasn’t just a...

The back half of August Around the World brings the show to Ecuador, where the animals are plentiful and the term “big boned” has a whole new meaning! Jake pays a visit to some archeological sites of varying credibility to find lost golden libraries and curious skeletons. You don’t have to be 42 feet tall to laser a cave out of a mountain, but it helps . Then Wyatt walks through the possibilities...

August continues to go around the world or whatever, all thanks to a purely arbitrary programming decision two years ago! It’s Russia o’clock mofos, so you KNOW the boys are bringing their A-game by way of dragons and radio stations. Wyatt pays a visit to Lake Brosno, where a monster the size of a sand mountain (the SI unit for dragon volume) has been swallowing everyone and everything that dares...

It’s this year’s first installment of August Around the World, and that means both alien and ghostly Thailand tales! Jake kicks this globetrotting month off with a pretty lukewarm ghost encounter following a visit to a Buddhist shrine, but he rounds this out with a thankfully more colorful story. And that color? YELLOW. Talkin’ ’bout a weird little yellow thingy floating around and weirding out so...

This week’s episode features luminous ghost children and a bunch of visual content presented in an audio medium. We’re good at this! Jake explores the night vision horribleness of modern day baby monitors and the many ghosts they capture on camera, but first, Wyatt examines what is so far the phenomenon most likely to get this show cancelled. Take your clothes off, start glowing, and enjoy! EPISOD...

What’s that sound? It’s either a signal of the End Times, metal stuff, a weird fish, various hoaxes, a microwave weapon, something completely psychological – or it’s the latest episode of Superduperstitious! This week, learn all about the 2010s phenomenon of sky trumpets and their probably not-so-apocalyptic origin, and yet again revisit Havana syndrome, which was at first maybe some kind of sonic...

YES you heard right: the much beloved recurring segment you all have been hankering for and definitely haven’t totally forgotten about is BACK. In Part 2 of this lots-o-parts series, the boys head to the states where they were born in search of spooks! For Wyatt, this means an extremely haunted mansion in Pennsylvania that was not known for its still-attached heads. Did it really scare folks for d...

It’s once again time for the boys to take a break from trying! This week, Wyatt and Jake take some big swings at explaining YOUR spooky experiences. That’s right: it’s another listener story episode! By simply sending an email to contact@superduperstitious.com, you, too, can finally learn the answers to all of your life’s creepiest mysteries. Whether that answer is clowns, trains, clowns driving t...
