Some places out in the world seem to have consistent claims of unusual and unexplained phenomena. Is supernatural activity drawn to these places? Or are humans overinflating the activity within these areas? Today we dissect some of the most well-known paranormal hotspots and discuss whether or not we think it's a hoax or we believe the folks.

Out in the Graveyard
This week we wander through the gates of the graveyard to take a look at how a tiny piece of moss uncovered a graveyard scandal in Illinois. In a not-so-shocking turn of events, people are mighty greedy. We also discuss how civil war cemeteries might contain some pretty serious toxins due to outdated embalming practices and why you might want to test your well water if you live next to one.
If you have any topic suggestions or personal weird stories, please DM us on Instagram or BlueSky or email us at whataboutweirdpod@gmail.com
