A Study Of Strange - Show Notes

Before the infamous Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts,  the majority of witch accusations and executions in North America took place in Connecticut. But, the Connecticut Witch Trials were once forgotten by history, and some details, records, and accounts are still largely unknown. Can the terrifyingly absurd witch trials teach us anything about humanity? On this episode of the podcast, we're joined by brother and sister, Sean and Sinead Persaud of Shipwrecked Comedy, who grew up near Salem, absorbing a lot of the witchy history of New England.  Shipwrecked Comedy:  https://www.shipwreckedcomedy.com/ Visit our sponsor: https://www.audibletrial.com/strange Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/astudyofstrange Theme Music by Matt Glass https://www.glassbrain.com/ Instagram: @astudyofstrange Website: www.astudyofstrange.com Hosted by Michael May Email stories, comments, or ideas to astudyofstrange@gmail.com ©2022 Convergent Content, LLC -------------- Links: https://www.abebooks.com/Witc

In 1901, one of Canada’s most wealthy and powerful families found themselves players in a real murder mystery. Ada Redpath and her son, Jocelyn Clifford Redpath, were found shot to death in their home. The murder weapon (or weapons) were found near the bodies, and it was concluded to be a murder-suicde. Why then is this a mystery? Police never investigated, the bodies were hastily buried, and the Redpath family never spoke of that night. It’s a story filled with secrets and, maybe, lies.  With special guest, filmmaker Jesse Ikeman.

Devil's Fire of Canneto Di Caronia Beginning in December of 2003, strange and unexplained fires began occurring in the seaside town of Canneto Di Caronia, Sicily, Italy. The fires caused damage to many homes and businesses and the residents had to evacuate by the next summer. What's strange is that the cause of the fires has never been determined even after scientists and government organizations studied the quiet town. Filmmaker Laura Moss joins the podcast to discuss the strange mystery of Canneto. Theories include UFOs, secret weapons testing, and, of course, the Devil.  Catch Laura's feature film BIRTH/REBIRTH after its premier at Sundance 2023 at a theater near you followed by its streaming on Shudder.

 In the mid-1930s, RAF officer Sir Victor Goddard experienced what might be the most famous case of a "time slip." By the end of his life, Goddard was a decorated and respected military veteran (of two world wars), writer, speaker, and firm believer in the paranormal. Though Goddard is full of mysterious stories and theories, his time slip experience remains the most perplexing. On this episode of A Study of Strange we explore Goddard's bizarre flight that lead to a momentary look into the future.    Listen to the episode unedited on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/astudyofstrange Theme Music by Matt Glass  https://www.glassbrain.com/ Instagram: @astudyofstrange Website:  www.astudyofstrange.com Hosted by  Michael May Email stories, comments, or ideas to astudyofstrange@gmail.com!  ©2022 Convergent Content, LLC ----- Links:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRkoGacytAU https://www.amazon.com/Flight-Towards-Reality-Victor-Goddard/dp/0855000457 https://www.youtu
