    Greenland's Monsters & Chasing North American Cryptids with Jason Offutt

    In this episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers is joined by author Jason Offutt to explore the strange creatures hiding in North American folklore and eyewitness reports. Offutt is the author of Chasing North American Monsters: A Guide to Over 250 Creatures from Greenland to Guatemala. The conversation takes a timely turn toward Greenland, a place suddenly dominating global headlines, but also home to chilling monster legends shaped by extreme landscapes, isolation, and centuries of oral tradition. The discussion also looks at Offutt’s early fascination with monsters, which began with tracking Bigfoot stories through old newspaper archives, and leads into a deeply unsettling personal experience involving a full bodied apparition. Along the way, Aaron and Jason unpack how cryptids are documented, why certain regions generate more monster stories than others, and how folklore adapts in the modern media age. If creatures are reported independently across generations, regions, and cultures, when does folklore stop being dismissed and start becoming evidence? _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

    You Two Scare Me Podcast at The Haunted Saint Hotel in Key West

    In this episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers is back on the road. He visited Key West, Florida, and through a spooky fun and random coincidence, ended up connecting with local Ernest Hemingway House tour guide Amy Bebbington, who then introduced him to Andy Zyvith and Feliz Andrews of the You Two Scare Me podcast. Not one to miss out on the chance to chat about the paranormal, they sat for a chat at The Saint Hotel in Key West. The Saint was gracious enough to host everyone for the live recording in the supposedly haunted Room 106. In their chat, they discuss banshees from Bebbington’s Irish family, haunted Pittsburgh and a ghost that steals puzzle pieces, a Hat Man interaction and ghostly brothers, and of course, more about the ghosts of The Saint, and Haunted Key West. And of course, we chat about Robert The Doll and the books by David L. Sloan. Note: This was recorded way back in August 2025, and the file got lost along the way. Also, as this was an unplanned interview, excuse my rambling, lack of proper preparation, and a few stumbles. But it’s a great conversation. — Aaron. More about You Two Scare Me:Andi Zyvith and Feliz Andrews have been friends for over a decade, and have been wanting to start a spooky podcast together for just as long. They are two working moms who love to hang out, tell scary stories, and laugh their faces off. What better outlet is there for that than a podcast with your bestie? _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

    Mark Twain's Ghost? The Talking Dead from Séances & Spiritualism

    In this episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers sits down with author and paranormal historian Marc Hartzman to explore the eerie, fascinating world of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century spirit communication. Hartzman’s latest book, The Talking Dead: A Collection of Messages from Beyond the Veil, 1850s to 1920s, invites readers to eavesdrop on the afterlife through an extraordinary anthology of séance transcripts and spirit writings from the height of the Spiritualist movement.

    Kate Siegel Talks Down the Chimney and Holiday of Horrors

    Actor and filmmaker Kate Siegel (The Haunting of Hill House, Hush, Midnight Mass) joins Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers to discuss her darkly twisted short "Down the Chimney," part of Executive Producers David Dastmalchian and The Boulet Brothers' The Boulet Brothers’ Holiday of Horrors anthology, now streaming on Shudder and AMC+.

And how she did it to get revenge on her sister! In their conversation, they chat about the creepy side of the holidays, childhood vulnerability, and the creepy side of Elf on the Shelf. She also talks about writing and directing horror in a compact format, collaborating with The Boulet Brothers and David Dastmalchian, and what she hopes husband Mike Flanagan got her for Christmas. And don't miss the other interviews for Holiday of Horrors as part of the Talking Strange show, including chats with David Dastmalchian, The Boulet Brothers, and Akela Cooper (M3GAN, Malignant). _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

The conversation also explores Cooper’s collaboration with The Boulet Brothers and David Dastmalchian, the challenge of telling a deeply personal, terrifying story in a short format, and how holiday traditions can amplify dread instead of comfort.

    David Dastmalchian Gets Festive and Fearsome in 'Holiday of Horrors'

    Actor, writer, and monster kid David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil, Dust Bunny) joins Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers to dive deep into The Boulet Brothers’ Holiday of Horrors, the chilling four-part anthology now streaming on Shudder and AMC+. Dastmalchian discusses his close friendship and creative partnership with The Boulet Brothers, how they collaborated both on-screen and behind the scenes, and why the holidays are his favorite time of year to unleash fear. He also breaks down working with Kate Siegel (The Haunting of Hill House) and Akela Cooper (M3GAN) about their holiday shorts, and delves into his directed story "Yeti or Not" — a snowy nightmare written with Jennifer Polania and Leah Kilpatrick, who also designed the terrifying Yeti creature. From Christmas horror traditions to monster design, collaboration, and finding joy in seasonal darkness, David and Aaton pulls back the curtain on how Holiday of Horrors came together, and why festive fear hits differently. _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.
