    Talking With the Dead

    IN THIS EPISODEWhat if the Ouija board was just an early form of AI? What if a cassette tape held a secret no one was supposed to hear? And what if two true believers built a machine they called a telephone to the dead — and it actually worked? Or did it? This episode begins where most conversations end: What happens when we die? It's a question host Christopher Wynn has been circling lately — one that led him down a rabbit hole connecting youthful experiments with the unknown, a crackling 1984 radio broadcast and the strange, controversial invention known as the Spiricom. Guest Richard Hatem knows something about chasing the unexplained. The screenwriter and TV producer behind The Mothman Prophecies (Richard Gere, Laura Linney) has built a career at the edge of the strange. But this is the story of how the strange chased him first.

    Atlas Obscura shares strange stories from around the world

    In a 'Strange' collaboration with Atlas Obscura, the online magazine about the world's hidden wonders, Atlas’ David Plotz, Joshua Foer, Dylan Thuras and Ella Morton share weird, true tales from across the globe. You’ll hear about the Japanese monks who mummified themselves while still alive; and the deep, booby-trapped pit on Nova Scotia’s Oak Island that may hold secret treasure. You’ll learn how the crew behind the hit ‘70s TV show 'The Six Million Dollar Man' discovered a corpse in Long Beach, California, with a bizarre past; and about an ‘island of the dead’ south of Venice where an allegedly haunted mental hospital still stands. We’ll tell you how you can sleep in the Massachusetts house where Lizzie Borden may have swung her hatchet or get up close to the real 'Amityville Horror' in New York. And, yes, you’ll even hear about the psychoanalyst in Maine who believed orgasmic energy could control the weather. Learn more about 'Strange' at strangepod.com. Find more weird stories from around the world at atlasobscura.com, including information on Atlas' debut book.
