This week, I sit down with the Wicked Wiccan Sisters and discuss haunted places and paranormal psychology.

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 i...

Hello dear listeners, and welcome back to another episode of The ODDentity Podcast on the PodMoth Media Network, your foray into the weird, wonky, and sometimes downright spooky. This week, I offer a tale that weaves together spiritualism, Harry Houdini, and a detective named Rose Mackenberg. As you may remember from a past episode, Houdini wasn’t a fan of spiritualists.
