Hello dear listeners and welcome back for more of the odd content you crave! This week, I bring you something I've never tackled before: Bigfoot. In the early 1970s, in a remote deer-hunting camp deep in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, Ron Morehead and Al Berry captured a series of bizarre vocalizations that became known as the Sierra Sounds. And these sounds are like nothing you've heard before...or maybe you have?

Hello dear listeners and welcome back for season 12 (yeah, this pod has been around a minute) of The ODDentity Podcast. I hope this episode finds you well and I thank you for your continued support.    This episode contains a club that's actually not a club at all, another asylum filled with ill-served patients, and radioactive oatmeal.   Featuring: The Brutal, Bizarre, and Boozy podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/brutal-bizarre-and-boozy-podcast/id1642538109   Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Plutonium_Files https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fernald-quaker-oats/ https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2024/07/that-time-quaker-oats-fed-orphans-radioactive-oatmeal-for-reasons/ https://www.nytimes.com/1998/01/01/us/settlement-reached-in-suit-over-radioactive-oatmeal-experiment.html  

This week, I sit down with the Wicked Wiccan Sisters and discuss haunted places and paranormal psychology. I think you'll really like this one, particularly if you've experienced paranormal happenings yourself or have had a visitation from someone who has passed on.  Huge thanks to WWS for sitting down with me. This is the last episode of the season. The podcast will now go dark for a few weeks while I organize and do some research. Stay tuned and, as always, Stay Spooky!

Hello dear listeners and welcome back to another episode of The ODDentity Podcast, a proud member of the PodMoth Media Network, your foray into the weird, wonky, and sometimes downright spooky. This week I re-introduce you to the humble chainsaw, a tool that is more than capable of felling an oak tree but in its early form, could be just as effective during childbirth.

Hello dear listeners and thanks again for tuning in. This week I present to you a haunting tale by Bernard Capes entitled “The Thing in the Forest,” published in 1915. At this point in the season, I’ll be taking a little break to focus my attention on my other passion project, my literary journal. The slush pile is quite deep, per usual, so I’ll be returning after the summer issue drops on July 1. At that point, only two episodes remain for the season. A researched episode and my end of season interview. Stay Spooky and I’ll be back soon. 😊   Digitized Copy “The Thing in the Forest”: https://dn790001.ca.archive.org/0/items/fabulists00capeiala/fabulists00capeiala.pdf   Featured Podcast: Moustachioed Podcastio https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-moustachioed-podcastio/id1516217740   Other PodMoth Network Shows: https://podmoth.network/   Some Background music provided by: https://stocktune.com/free-music/whispers-in-the-void-24438-35445 https://stocktune.com/free-music/whispers-in-the-void-24438-35445
