S8 Ep. 3: The Phantom Rickshaw (Part 1)

Hello dear listeners and welcome back to another episode of The ODDentity Podcast on the PodMoth Media Network, your bi-weekly foray into the weird, wonky, and sometimes downright spooky.
If you’ll permit me, I’d like to take a moment to thank you all for your messages of condolence and your unwavering support over the last few weeks. It was truly appreciated and made me realize even more how much my listeners and my podcast community mean to me.
This week, I present you with a Victorian ghost story. Part 1 of it, at least. It’s a little longer, so the next episode will feature the tale’s conclusion. Some of these stories are so wonderful and yet they don’t nearly get the readers and appreciation that they deserve. The Victorians were keen on ghost stories. We have that in common. So, settle in next to the fire, pull the blankets up to your chin, and try to ignore the shadows lingering at the edge of the firelight. I’m sure they’re all conjured by your imagination.

S8 Ep. 2: Travelers

As you all know by now, I receive a lot of listener submitted tales of the weird and paranormal. It’s getting to a point that I’m having to have one show per season that focuses on these stories alone as my email is ready to burst. This time around, I thought I’d pull out some submissions that focus on travel (short trips and longer ones) and hotels/motels. Traveling and staying in an unfamiliar place can be stressful and you never know what sort of things you might encounter.

S8 Ep. 1: Bellaire House Hauntings

Hello dear listeners and welcome back to season 8!
This week, I bring you a special episode about Bellaire House and the book Paranormal Confessions by Kristin Lee. The stories surrounding this property are many and some of them are truly disturbing. For the purposes of this episode, I won’t go into too much detail about the paranormal happenings, simply because the book was only released this year and if you want to know all the details, you should pick up a copy. It’s a great read especially since we’re heading into spooky season.
And now…on with the show!

S7 Ep. 6: INTERVIEW: Jonathan Johnson of WV Paranormal

Hello dear listeners and welcome back to the final episode of the season. You are listening to The ODDentity Podcast on the PodMoth MediaNetwork, your foray into the weird, wonky, and sometimes downright spooky. As is custom, this episode features an interview. Thisweek I welcome Jonathan Johnson of West Virginia Paranormal. West Virginia Paranormal Investigations was founded in 2007 by cousins Jonathan Johnson and Richard Riley as a way to further understand the world of ghosts, hauntings, and the paranormal. I had a great chatJonathan and his group have uncovered some pretty amazing stuff. We talk about the team's investigations of some famous (or rather infamous)haunted places along with a discussion of some lesser-known locations and Jonathan talks about how he got into paranormal investigationsin the first place. If you've ever wanted to know more about how paranormal investigations actually work, you're in for a treat. 
 
A huge thank you to Jonathan and the crew at West Virginia Paranormal. Cheers to many more investigations and stay safe out there! That's it for this week and this season, dear listeners. The ODDentity Podcast will take its usual summer hiatus but will return in thefall with more tales of the creepy, weird, and paranormal.
Until then. Stay Spooky.

Off Week Weird #5: Walled Up

Hello dear listeners and welcome back to another Off Week Weird, brought to you by The ODDentity Podcast on the PodMoth Media Network, your foray into the weird, wonky, and sometimes downright spooky. This week, I revisit the topic of immurement, another topic that was covered way back when I had a cohost and really deserves to be recorded in the new format. So, find a comfy arch and flatten yourself against the wall while I brick you in. Don’t worry. I’ll bring some pancakes to slide through the food slot a little later.

S7 Ep. 5: Chilling at Chillingham

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 episode contains subject matter that may be unsuitable for some listeners. Discretion is advised.
There's a lot to read here, so the TL/DR version is:
Buy a shirt: bonfire.com/oddmaste
Episode 6 might be delayed. If it is, it will drop in July as I've got a lit rag to publish in June. I'll keep you posted. :)
I'm re-recording some of the cohosted content from the podcast's past so it better reflects the new format.
Not the TL/DR version:
As you know, this podcast has been around since 2017 and has gone through a couple of cohosts. In an effort to make sure the content from cohosted episodes gets some play (I removed the cohosted episodes as they were low audio quality and don’t represent what the podcast is today) I’ve gone back through the archives to ferret out some of the research that really shouldn’t fall to the wayside. There are hours upon hours of research sitting in the old Haunt Heads binder and I want to make sure it sees the light of day. To that end, I’ll be recording some of these as solo episodes so they’ll match the current format and sound quality. Way back when there weren’t too many ear holes tuned in and I’m hoping that hearing these tales in the new format will bring you weird and wonderful joy.
Before we get started, I just wanted to let you know that a new shirt is available on the Bonfire site. I think it’s one of my favorites so far. The shirt reads, “ODDmaste /noun/ the oddness in me honors the oddness in you.” Do I do yoga? No. Have I ever done yoga? No. But if you’re into yoga or not and you're certifiably odd like me, you’ll agree that this shirt is a must-have for any oddball. Makes a great gift for that loveable weirdo in your life. Visit bonfire.com/oddmaste to purchase!
On to a little podcast housekeeping. This is episode 5 which means there are only two episodes left before the end of the season. I have someone lined up for our episode 6 interview, but if the timing doesn’t work out just right, that episode might have to get bumped for a few weeks. There’s also another Off Week Weird coming your way next week, so keep your eyes peeled for that. Bumping episode 6 back might mean the end of the season won’t come until July 5th. I also run a literary journal and will need the month of June to get the spring/summer issue in order.
Last but not least, at the end of this episode there will be an advert for a pod on the PodMoth Network as well as an ad for the Fireside Phantoms Podcast. Take a moment to give those great pods a listen and subscribe if you haven’t already.
