Inbox of Oddities: Holiday Hauntings, Freak Flags & Fiery Volcanoes In this festive Inbox of Oddities, Kat and JG unwrap a sleigh-load of eerie encounters, laugh-out-loud listener mishaps, and heartwarming Freak Fam moments just in time for the holidays. From a funeral home organ that plays itself long after burial (yes, really) to a mysterious roadside prophet who triggers a time-slip radio broadcast in the desert, this episode is packed with true stories that are as strange as they are unforgettable. Listeners share everything from a ghost calmly straightening sheet music hours after her service, to hot-coffee courtroom déjà vu, to the world’s most enthusiastic quilter recommending alien-language movies. We’ve also got community favorites: what your Spotify Wrapped reveals about your listening obsession, how kids describe the hosts’ voices (“nice on my ears”), and how one Freak Fam member accidentally taught her child to shout “butthole water” in a grocery store. You’ll hear about chicken prosthetic arms gifted for the holidays, a listener’s pivotal tip that made its way to the RCMP, and touching tributes to beloved pets who helped their humans through hard times. Plus: live-volcano videos from Hawaii, a cave that stores Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, and tales of freak flags waving proudly at 11:11. Whether it’s paranormal activity, bizarre coincidences, unlikely emotional support from podcasts, or stories that push Kat to cry and JG to consider wearing a cardigan and pipe on Christmas Eve, this episode celebrates everything weird, wonderful, heartfelt, and Freak-Fam-approved. This Box contains the following ingredients: True paranormal stories, funeral-home ghost encounters, eerie organ music, bizarre coincidences, listener-submitted mysteries, UFO-friendly anecdotes, holiday oddities, emotional pet tributes, viral Spotify Wrapped stats, and heartwarming Freak Fam messages. Perfect for fans of strange phenomena, supernatural stories, weird history, spooky listener emails, and comedy-meets-creepy storytelling. Learn more about your ad choices.
