Curious Cat

After my father's death, I had some strange stuff happen that nudged me to learn about the supernatural. What I've been finding out is life is way more complicated, strange, and wonderful than I'd ever dreamed. The best part? Science is starting to catch up. I focus on the place where science and supernatural collide. What does it mean to be a soul in a meat suit? All episodes are made and offered in love. *All Curious Cat content is owned and operated by Storm Mystery Press LLC

    Spontaneous Human Combustion & The Curious Queue

    Send us a textThis entire episode comes with a trigger warning. It is not for the faint of heart. Be warned. For those that are still with me, have you ever heard of spontaneous human combustion? I'd argue one of the most mysterious ways to die, if true, then why does this phenomenon stop and start over the course of a century and a half and then...just...disappear? Let's get into it. Spontaneous Human Combustion 101Let's begin at the beginning. Spontaneous human combustion (SH...

    Pyramids in the United States? PLUS The Curious Queue

    Send us a textHave you watched any of the Missing 411 movies? Former police officer, David Paulides, is the guy behind them. He has been collecting records for countless strange missing persons cases across the United States for years, then compiling the ones that have the same fact patterns into books and movies. I've learned much from Paulides, and the disappearances, from staying safe outdoors to always telling someone where you are going, and where you expect to return, as well as place n...

    Theory of Ghosts

    Send us a textDo you believe in ghosts? Have you ever seen one? Known someone who has? Would you like to? I'll have tips at the end of this episode that might increase your odds of seeing a ghost.The telling of a ghost story around a campfire or a candlelit room wakes a primal strand of our DNA. It transforms a power outage into a lifelong memory, and might lead us to snuggle closer to our partner.As the leaves quiver in the wind, and nightfall bleeds into daytime hours, the timing is r...

    The Magic of In-Between & Curious Queue #7

    Send us a textWhen pondering, debating, writing or planning our focus tends fall to the extremes; this or that, which means we ignore the stuff in-between. It probably traces back to some survival mechanism our ancestors developed to determine what foods were safe to eat, what passages were too risky to travel, where we might be safe to sleep at night, and what hours of the day to do which behaviors. But like the ego, which we've discussed in past episodes, maybe it's time for a human up...

    Legends of Little People from across the Globe & Curious Queue #6

    Send us a textI've pestered my husband to write a book on the legends, myths and rumors of small people around the world for decades. Every culture on the planet holds dear stories of a group of small people that have unrivaled engineering skills that work during the night and live underground or in caves to stay safe from larger humans. These legendary people, If treated with reverence and respect, are known to give away treasures, or point the way to veins of gold, or build vital infrastruc...

    Does Japan Have a Cult Problem? And The Curious Queue #5

    Send us a textEpisode Intro:Did you queue up this episode and wonder, why the heck the emphasis on cults? Well, I'll tell you. With the run up to the November election in full swing - saddled between the RNC and DNC national conventions, I thought it was a great moment in history to check our collective guts. To remind us to question everything. And to question what we are being force fed. In fact, if a message or news story comes into your feed or life over and over and over, for fun's sake,...
