Welcome to Weirdsdale, Weirdsters! We're Melissa and Stefanie, sisters speculating on the strange, mysterious, creepy and just plain weird. True crime, paranormal, psychology... whatever we deem weird this week!
Happy (not) National Arizona Day! Oops, it actually was last week, but I had to tell you this story! Near Tombstone, Arizona, the final boom town of the US mine rush, there lies the ruins of a structure that holds the morbid title of "America's Bloodiest Cabin". Where approximately 22 men lost their lives over the course of just 30 years. Frederick Brunckow, a silver mining entrepreneur, built the adobe shack in 1858 when he found silver near the San Pedro River. After just two years of operation, the mining came to a screeching halt when three men were found slain in and near the cabin. More than one owner of the cabin lost their lives in brutally traumatic ways, in addition to several more men falling victim to old west gun violence. Graves were said to just appear on the property as men disappeared. According to newspapers in the 1880's, spirits began appearing on the property and even working in the abandoned mine, and they weren't quiet about it!

Octopi and Boggy Guy: Cryptids of Oklahoma
Happy National Oklahoma Day! This week, Melissa tells the legends of two of Oklahoma's most elusive and mysterious cryptids. Are they merely legends or is there real evidence to prove their existence?! The Oklahoma Octopus is said to reside deep within three of Oklahoma's lakes, namely Tenkiller Lake and grasp at unsuspecting swimmers with its mega tentacles. Aren't you excited for summer water sports? In addition to the horse-sized Octopus, Oklahoma is the home of the Boggy Bottom Monster, said to be similar to the famous Bigfoot. Boggy Bottom lives near the Clear Boggy Creek and has been seen by many witnesses who claim it to be covered in reddish-brown hair, with an ape-like face and super long arms and legs. He seems to love to interact with residents and even has a playful side?!
This week's episode features a trailer for Total Conundrum Podcast. If you dig the twisted, admire the outlandish, are enamored by the unusual, you're in the right place. True crime, the supernatural, the unexplained, now you're speaking our language. If you agree, join us, as we dive into the darker side (you know, because it's more fun over here).

Shortie Episode #8: Haunted Fort Douglas
It's Weirdster weekend! Happy National Utah Day! You know that means Melissa has a haunted story for you coming from the Beehive state! Apparently, Salt Lake City has many haunted spots which really makes you wonder, what's going on there?! The place we're diving into today is, a very old and now very paranormally active military fort, Fort Douglas. The first volunteer troops came to Fort Douglas in 1862 to keep an eye on those troublesome Mormons that were threatening to the government. The conditions were horrendous, food rations were small, infighting was common, and sadly, suicide rates were high. The Fort Douglas soldiers entered many bloody battles and participated in every major war since then. Now, Fort Douglas serves as a military museum on the property of the University of Utah and visitors come for more than a lesson. They come for the ghosts! Particularly the famous and most active spirit, Clem, who makes himself known with loud footsteps and is seen as an apparition wearing a blue post-Civil War uniform. Children spirits play on the grounds and the Fort Douglas Cemetery is always active with voices and moving shadow figures.
