From Executive Producer Patrick Hinds and the Obsessed Network comes a new podcast about all the things that make us wonder. Each week, we’ll tell you a true story that will fascinate and terrify you: a family who receive letters from a “Watcher” after moving into their new house, a hotel that’s seen so much death that it has to be cursed, UFO encounters, hauntings, Bigfoot sightings, and so much more. Written and hosted by Tony Award-winning actor and celebrated writer Daisy Eagan, “Strange and Unexplained” is a journey into the uncomfortable and the unknowable that will leave you both laughing and sleeping with the lights on.

Someone Else's Memory
What is memory? The Oxford English Dictionary defines memory as the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information. Or something remembered from the past; a recollection. But the OED doesn’t weigh in on the factual accuracy of those recollections, nor does it mention how or where memories are stored. Our current understanding is that they form and are stored in our brains. Our brains after all are the motherboards of our bodies, but what if memories could also live somewhere else within us?

The Lincoln Ghost Train
Grief is a powerful thing. It's extremely personal and can make us act in ways unforeseen. So what happens when an entire nation experiences a loss, as they did in 1865 when President Lincoln was assassinated? The powers that were at the time decided to give the people an outlet for their grief with a small tour of part of the country featuring their dead president. It would be known as the Lincoln Ghost Train, which would serve as a public display of grief and all of it's strange and unexplained forms.

The Fox Sisters: Part 2
In the mid 1800s, Maggie and Kate Fox convinced the world that they could communicate with the dead. And, for a fee, they'd communicate with your dead through a séance. The sisters became so famous for their private, as well as public, readings, that an entire new religion--Spiritualism--was ushered in to make sense (and profits) of it all. It was all going so well. The were rich and world famous. What could possibly go wrong?

The Fox Sisters: Part 1
The human urge to believe in something bigger than ourselves, to search for answers from above or beyond can go awry. And throughout history, it has. One such example took two girls and their followers on a whirlwind journey that would leave a mark and make for a fantastic story.

Customer Reviews
Not the worst but not my favorite.
Subjects are interesting for sure, but Daisy tends to really try to offer alternative ideas on the strange an unexplained seemingly as a huge skeptic.
Which is a good thing to do, but something about the way she delivers her viewpoints can come across as though she believes her view is correct and there isn’t any alternative.
Could just be her witty banner that I may be misinterpreting at times.
Well…
I love the topics. I like Daisy’s voice and cadence. BUT… I don’t understand her need to insert her politics into the podcast, especially based on the subjects of each episode. It doesn’t matter if I agree or disagree, they are irrelevant to the show. I would rate higher otherwise.
Could be better
I like the premise. But some things are so overdone.
Also, she’s insanely anti-Christian so I had to stop. I get having opinions and that’s fine. But if you want me to respect your skepticism, respect my faith.
