One Strange Thing: Paranormal & True-Weird Mysteries One Strange Thing

In Southwestern Connecticut, in a little village tucked into Monroe, there’s a legend of a local witch named Hannah Cranna—a woman who killed her husband and got away with it. But that’s just the start of trouble caused by an elderly woman who ran circles around her neighbors.

Colonel Jonathan Buck was a force to be reckoned with in the colonial, and early American, eras of Maine. How much of a force? Well, he’s got a town named after him. But he also might’ve been cursed to have a besmirched gravesite — and cursed by a woman he wrongly executed for witchcraft, at that. But, honestly? TBD.

Back in 1966, dozens of UFO sightings swept the Ann Arbor, Michigan area—and then crept through the Midwest, into New England, and beyond. And the scores of people who reported sightings—including an entire college dormitory—weren’t ready to accept the official explanation for what they experienced.

Philadelphia’s General Wayne Inn has been privy to more than its share of great moments in American history; George Washington had private quarters there, after all. So the inn with a compelling case to be the oldest in America is, naturally, said to be haunted… but it might be by more than just a beleaguered Revolutionary War soldier.

Coming to you deep from Florida’s swamps and, well, wherever else it wants to be, is the Sunshine State’s favorite cryptid, the skunk ape: an extra smelly bigfoot who grew popular in the 1970s but, perhaps, has been around a lot longer than that.

We’ve told a blob story before – but the story that unfolded in Oakville, Washington in the mid-90s deserves its own telling. These blobs rained down from the sky and caused pretty severe impacts on the ground… and you guessed it: the jury’s still out on what, exactly, splatted down on Oakville.
