    Did Gandhi Prove This Little Girl Was Reincarnated?

    In the 1930s, a 4-year-old girl named Shanti Devi claimed to have already lived a life 90 miles away with her husband and family. She even remembered her address! Soon, all of India was enthralled with her story. It even reached Mahatma Gandhi, who set up a 15-person commission to investigate. What followed was one of the most convincing cases of reincarnation in modern history.

    Did Three Boys Slip Back Through Time into Medieval England?

    Did Three Boys Slip Back Through Time into Medieval England?

    In October 1957, three 15-year-old cadets experienced a possible "time slip" while on a map reading exercise near the village of Cursey in Suffolk, England. They entered the village to find it seemingly transported back in time, with no modern features and a butcher shop displaying green, moldy oxen carcasses. Was this time slip connected to the Black Death? 

    Also this week, a listener shares their story about a white dogman traipsing around in a cemetery like it owns the place.

    The Alien Bases of Antarctica

    The Alien Bases of Antarctica

    With temperatures as low as -128.6°F, 200 mph winds, and ice sheets up to 3 miles thick, Antarctica is truly one of the most extreme and little known about places on Earth. But does it actually hold the ruins of an ancient civilization under its ice? What about an alien base station that might be tens of thousands of years old? This week we explore Google Earth and the stories of former military soldiers who say there is much, much more to Antarctica than just ice…

Best new find in a while!

As the podscape continues to grow with endless properties featuring celebrities watching something, or just hanging out and phoning it in with other celebrities, it feels like non-tent is everywhere. Pods like “Wanna Hear Something Weird” land like manna from heaven by embodying everything about why the medium still inspires hope for finding and enjoying shows worth cherishing. Laura and Tom do a fantastic job of deep diving the ins-and-outs of truly fascinating stories, approaching them with genuine interest, a good sense of humour, and a chemistry that feels as natural as sitting at a table with your well-read friends listening to them get into nitty-gritty on some neeto stuff. They parse the details of the weird tales with a great balance of all these things. I’m still thinking on the ep featuring the Stroudsburg Rain Man, and conjuring the images a month later. Fun and informative. What more could you ask for?

Best of luck to its hosts. It deserves an audience.
