Strange Places is a study of odd occurrences, paranormal and supernatural events that have happened in history, as well as the modern day. Hosted by Billie Dean Shoemate III of the No Disclosure Podcast, Strange Places is an exploration into the surreal.
In the late 1800s, French physician and researcher Hippolyte Baraduc began experimenting with photography in an attempt to capture invisible forces surrounding the human body. His strange images appeared to show clouds, bursts of light, and mysterious forms that he believed represented thought, emotion, vital energy, and even the human soul. After the death of his wife in 1907, Baraduc became particularly interested in photographing what he believed might be evidence of her presence beyond death. His photographs remain some of the strangest and most unsettling images from the early days of paranormal photography.

S6E240 - Leap Castle
In this episode, we venture into County Offaly, Ireland, to explore the chilling history and lingering shadows of Leap Castle. From the bloody feuds of the O’Carroll clan and hidden dungeon discoveries to reports of terrifying apparitions like "The Elemental," we uncover what visitors and owners have witnessed across the centuries. We weigh the claims of paranormal investigators against the arguments of skeptics seeking natural explanations for these unsettling encounters. Tune in as we dissect the evidence and decide whether Ireland's most infamous fortress is truly haunted or if something else is at play.
