Odd County Files

About Odd County Files

Odd County Files is a documentary-style mystery podcast about strange local stories, coastal folklore, forgotten industrial history, small-town rituals, and unusual facts from the American West Coast and beyond. Each episode follows one real place, one odd record, or one unsettling local memory, with a focus on modern stories from the 1990s to recent years. Calm, atmospheric, and curious: a quiet archive of places where history, rumor, geography, and human behavior meet.
