Mini Weird 19: So you be bangin’ huh?
In this week’s mini episode, Haley and Harmony start off with the Mini-Weird episode exclusive Headline-A-Thon, with topics ranging from a highway mozzarella mishap to inflatable crocodiles protesting a wedding. Then, Haley shares the survivor story of a lifeguard who was impaled by a beach umbrella, and Harmony shares the eerie story of a hiker who watched his son fall from a 120-foot cliff.

19: Listener Stories!
It’s time to read some very weird listener stories! A phantom horse haunts England’s cliffs. A dead grandma calls from her grave. A stained‑glass vase explodes with no warning. A house’s intercom squawks by itself. A DOT crew has a front row seat to a crime scene unfolding. And a silent, slate‑gray triangle UAP hovers over the Adirondacks. This episode of the podcast goes from goosebumps to jaw‑drops in minutes.
Thank you to all our wonderful listeners for writing in! <3
