Introducing the Jordan Harbinger Show

This week, we dive deep into one of the internet's most intriguing conspiracy theories: the Black Eye Club. We explore the curious pattern of celebrities, politicians, and influential figures appearing in public with prominent black eyes - particularly on the left side - and the theories surrounding what this might mean. From George W. Bush and Jay Leno to Adam Sandler and Elon Musk, we examine the extensive list of public figures who've been photographed with these mysterious injuries, along with their often unusual explanations ranging from bicycle accidents to microphone mishaps. We also discuss the potential symbolic roots of this phenomenon through ancient mythology, exploring connections to Odin's sacrifice of his eye for wisdom in Norse tales and the Eye of Horus from Egyptian lore. Finally, we look at various theories about what these black eyes might represent - from initiation rituals into elite secret societies and humiliation punishments to more sinister explanations involving adrenochrome harvesting and even alien parasites entering through the eye.

The Smurl Family Haunting This week, we dive deep into one of the most documented cases of demonic oppression in modern history - the Smurl haunting. We explore how a working-class Catholic family's dream of stability turned into a 14-year nightmare when they moved into a duplex in West Pittston, Pennsylvania in 1973. What started as subtle oddities like an impossible-to-clean carpet stain and a mysteriously exploding television quickly escalated into violent physical attacks, levitation, and encounters with shadowy figures that would test the family's faith to its breaking point. We discuss the role of the infamous Ed and Lorraine Warren, who documented weeks of paranormal activity, including physical assaults, sexual encounters with demonic entities, and the presence of multiple spirits alongside a powerful demon.

Our next Terrified Together is with Kassie, the awesome host of the Tell Me Your Ghost Story Podcast. Our first story comes from Mackie in Lubbock, Texas, who experienced a terrifying encounter that drained her and her boyfriend's energy for an entire week. What started as unexplained fatigue and loss of motivation escalated into a haunting night where they both witnessed a seven-foot shadow figure prowling outside their bedroom window, followed by mysterious tapping sounds that sent them scrambling to check every lock in the house. The second tale takes us to rural Ohio, where 13-year-old Calla and her friend Maddie decided to experiment with the Red Book game - a paranormal ritual involving a red hardcover book (they used a dictionary) and candles. What began as innocent curiosity quickly turned sinister when the spirits they contacted through the book refused to let them leave the game. The aftermath brought sleep paralysis, mysterious scratches, encounters with shadow figures, and the terrifying appearance of the "old hag" - experiences that followed both girls to their separate homes until they performed cleansing rituals to break free from whatever had attached itself to them.

Our first story comes from Baker in West Texas, who shares an incredible tale from 1985 about his newborn son's strange sleeping patterns and unexplained nocturnal visitors. What started as puzzling midnight crying episodes soon revealed something far more extraordinary when family members began witnessing shadowy figures hovering over the baby's crib, and blankets mysteriously appearing to keep the infant warm during cold desert nights. We then explore three unsettling encounters submitted by Dell from California's Sierra Nevada mountains, spanning from childhood to motherhood. Her experiences range from a terrifying figure spotted during a lightsaber battle when she was nine years old, to a disturbing bedroom intrusion involving a four-foot creature with glowing yellow eyes approaching her newborn daughter. The final encounter involves phantom voices of her children calling out in the night from outside their remote home - but when Dell checks, both kids are safely asleep in their beds. ⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.

The North Canol Road Alien Abduction This week, we journey to the remote wilderness of Yukon, Canada, to explore the North Canal Road alien abduction case from 1987. We follow Kevin, a seasoned outdoorsman who set out on what should have been a routine three-day moose hunting expedition on his motorcycle. What started as a simple trip through the desolate terrain quickly transformed into something far more extraordinary when Kevin encountered a mysterious cigar-shaped craft and two insectoid beings he described as "grasshopper people." What makes this case particularly compelling is Kevin's 13-year silence and the physical evidence he discovered afterward - including unexplained scoop-like marks on his palms and memories that slowly resurfaced over time. We explore the psychological impact of his experience, from the initial sighting to the missing hours and fragmented memories of what occurred during his alleged abduction. ⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.

We are thrilled to tell you about The Jordan Harbinger Show. The show has some amazing guests and Jordan Harbinger has a gift for taking complex ideas and making them accessible. We truly hope you all enjoy it too!

This week, we dive into the dark hallways and shadowy corners of America's most haunted schools just as students head back to class. We explore two particularly eerie Schools: Pocatello High School in Idaho, where urban legends tell of a tragic suicide pact from the 1940s-50s that left one girl hanging from the top lockers (which were subsequently removed), and a ghostly wet child who supposedly drowned in the school's former pool. The campus is also known for phantom piano music echoing through an empty auditorium and unsettling sounds from the theater's changing rooms. Then we discuss the much more historically documented El Paso High School in Texas, built in 1916 over underground tunnels that once served as a morgue during the Spanish flu epidemic. With alleged deaths on campus, sealed-off rooms discovered years later, and even a mysterious figure appearing in a 1985 school photograph, this institution has a deeply troubling past. We also share two compelling anonymous stories from Reddit - one involving a Catholic preschool next to an 1800s cemetery where staff regularly encounter a spirit they call "Mary," and another from an Ohio behavioral school with such intense paranormal activity that it's now being demolished.
