The Dogman
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. Was it an attack? A sighting? A mysterious footprint? No, strangers, it was something even more powerful: a voice drifting out, over the radio waves.One Strange Thing: True Paranormal Mysteries explores the archives of the unexplained, blending rigorous historical research with a wry, skeptical wit to investigate true supernatural stories and baffling mysteries that made headlines.Dive into our Episode Mystery Archive — a curated, topic-organized source for documented hauntings, UFO sightings, cryptids, folklore, and bizarre true mysteries.

The Toy
A mannequin with human hair became a doll, and lifelong companion and/or scapegoat, for an eccentric Floridian artist.

The Gulf Breeze
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.One Strange Thing: True Paranormal Mysteries explores the archives of the unexplained, blending rigorous historical research with a wry, skeptical wit to investigate true supernatural stories and baffling mysteries that made headlines.Dive into our Episode Mystery Archive — a curated, topic-organized source for documented hauntings, UFO sightings, cryptids, folklore, and bizarre true mysteries.

The Firestarters
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?One Strange Thing: True Paranormal Mysteries explores the archives of the unexplained, blending rigorous historical research with a wry, skeptical wit to investigate true supernatural stories and baffling mysteries that made headlines.Dive into our Episode Mystery Archive — a curated, topic-organized source for documented hauntings, UFO sightings, cryptids, folklore, and bizarre true mysteries.
