THE SHOW
One Strange Thing is a true paranormal podcast uncovering real supernatural stories buried in America’s historic newspaper archives. Each episode investigates documented ghost sightings, haunted houses, UFO encounters, alien visitations, Bigfoot and cryptid reports, witchcraft panics, folklore, urban legends, mysterious disappearances, cursed objects, and bizarre unexplained events that once made national headlines.
Unlike fictional horror podcasts, One Strange Thing focuses on strange but true mysteries rooted in real history. Through atmospheric storytelling, thoughtful research, and a balance of intrigue and skepticism, we explore the eerie space where folklore meets fact.
Perfect for fans of paranormal investigation, haunted history, unsolved mysteries, true crime, and the occult, this family-friendly paranormal podcast delivers spooky, surprising stories that prove the truth is often stranger than fiction.
