Laurah’s out sick; please enjoy a re-release of one of our favorite episodes.  A Washington man named Jason Padgett loved partying, muscle cars, and getting buff at the local gym, and would have been content to live his life singing karaoke and chasing girls--until a fateful attack changed his worldview. . . quite literally. When he woke up the next day after receiving serious blows to the head, Jason realized that he could see things that others couldn’t. And he didn’t know what to make of them.  Sources on our website: https://www.onestrangethingpodcast.com/ Join us on Patreon for early release and ad-free episodes, exclusive stories, and bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/OneStrangeThing Find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/OSTPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onestrangethingpod/  and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/One-Strange-Thing-114307627035607 Written and Hosted Laurah Norton Researched by Laurah Norton and Bryan Worters Produced and Engineered by Maura Currie  Sources on our website: https://www.onestrangethingpodcast.com/ Join us on Patreon for early release and ad-free episodes, exclusive stories, and bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/OneStrangeThing You can also subscribe to premium episodes on Apple Premium and Supercast!

A release of our 2022 episode featuring the Lizardman: A rural South Carolina town is struck by cryptid fever in the form of a seven-foot-tall lizard with a taste for cars. . . specifically, for chewing on them.

Perhaps it’s not the best-known cryptid, but the Michigan Dogman has crept across the Midwest’s imagination—and embedded itself in the region’s nightmares—largely thanks to a single event in 1987.

No, strangers, it was something even more powerful: a voice drifting out, over the radio waves.  Special Thanks: Alvin WIlliams of Affirmative Murder for his vocal talents!  Pre-order Laurah’s book, LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Go to HelloFresh.com/onestrangething50 and use code onestrangething50 for 50% off, plus your first box ships free This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

The Gulf Breeze UFO Sightings are among the most infamous in US extraterrestrial canon; Floridian Ed Walters claimed that for six months ranging from late 1987 through the spring of 1988, he experienced a number of close encounters with aliens and their space crafts: ones that he allegedly captured on film. MUFON investigators, skeptics, scientists, and even the X-Files’ Agent Fox Mulder have weighed in on Ed’s story: now, we invite you to consider whether the Gulf Breeze Sightings were one of the most remarkable instances of alien contact in history, or simply an elaborate hoax.  Pre-order Laurah’s book, LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Butcherbox: Get free Chicken Nuggets for a Year and 10 percent off your first box when you sign up today.

Introducing our podcast, The Fall Line, which focuses on cold cases that have not received enough attention—a clip from our recent three-part series on the case of Chairo Garibay. On December 11th, 2005, 20-year-old Chairo disappeared; she’d planned on attending church with her family in Olivehurst, California, but she never showed. She was reported missing to the Yuba County Sheriff, and both her family and law enforcement began a search that extended through Christmas. It would be five weeks before Chairo was found. Though there would eventually be a 50,000-dollar reward authorized in Chairo’s case, no one has been arrested for her murder.  Pre order Laurah’s book LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Listen wherever you get podcasts.  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-murder-of-chairo-garibay-ferreyra-part-1-i-know/id1244959034?i=1000593665540 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/40Sez4ld5ttmQmXYVlUPVr?si=mror2bfoRLaflSDaUaQHdA Written, researched, and hosted by Laurah Norton, with research assistance from Bryan Worters, Kyana Burgess, and Michaela Morrill/Interviews by Brooke Hargrove/Produced, scored, and engineered by Maura Currie/Translation by Guadalupe Lopez/Content advisors are Brandy C.

In the 1940s, two Midwest families faced the same bizarre circumstance: unexplained fires that seemed to spring up from nowhere, burning all over their homes—with no clear source. Was it, as many in the small town of Odon, Indiana suspected, the work of a “fire poltergeist,” or some other supernatural force? Or could it be one of the many theories Air Force investigators floated at the second location, in Macomb Illinois?  Pre order Laurah’s book LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/  Try June's Journey!

This is a special brief episode to introduce you to a podcast that we recently discovered, called What Was That Like. It’s quite different from any other show you listen to. Each episode is a conversation with a regular person who has been through some type of extremely unusual situation, such as being shot in a mass shooting, surviving a plane crash, getting bitten by a rattlesnake, or getting a deal on Shark Tank (those are a few of the past episodes). The guest comes on the show and tells the story of what happened, first hand. For many of the episodes, in addition to the person involved telling the details, you’ll also hear the 911 calls and police radio communication that happened during that situation. With 100 past episodes, you’ll be bingeing this show for a while. Some of the episode titles: Ramon’s wife hired a hit man to kill him Marina was stalked Kasey married a wrong number Westin survived a boat propeller Henry was attacked by an alligator Dave won big on Wheel of Fortune James was crushed by a tree Liz discovered a suicide In the trailer today, you’ll hear a few clips from past shows to give you an idea of what to expect. If you like bizarre, true stories, told first hand by the person who experienced it, we think you’ll like this show. You can find What Was That Like on any podcast app, including Spotify, or at the website – WhatWasThatLike.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A big Halloween party at an apartment complex in Redmond, Washington. Themed rooms and costumed partygoers. But by the end of the party, one of the hosts is dead. The police look to the partiers as the prime suspects: was it the guy in the devil mask, the bank robber, the construction worker? As investigators comb through forensic evidence, witness testimony, DNA, and even consult with a psychic, they zero in on one suspect in particular. But for what reason? Host and reporter Matthew Shaer (Over My Dead Body) returns to the scene of the crime, speaks with everyone about a night that still haunts them years later. It’s a series about race and policing, mislaid justice, cutting-edge science, and the kinds of weighty choices that cops and prosecutors make every day -- choices that, once made, are difficult to reverse.
