IN THIS EPISODE: As you know, I\\u2019m not just a podcaster but also a professional voice artist. One of the many things I do is narrating audio books. But up until recently I had no idea who some of my competition was for narrations. It turns out the voice behind many best-selling audiobooks is actually a serial killer. (Murderous Narration) *** Reports of werewolves are worldwide throughout history \\u2013 from the English moors to the western United States you can find sightings of dogmen, werewolves, and the like. But Louisiana has one of the most interesting entries into Lycanthropy \\u2013 at least it has an interesting name and history. It\\u2019s called the Rougarou. (Rougarou) *** X-ray photos are fascinating, but they are only for the eyes \\u2013 not the ears, right? Well don\\u2019t be too sure about that. People in the Soviet Union found a very unique way to use X-rays in order to smuggle in their favorite tunes from West! (Bone Music) *** He roams the earth, and has done so for the past 2,000 years.. doomed never to die until the end of the world. His crime? Taunting Jesus at the Crucifixion. Is this simply an urban legend, or could there be some truth behind what has come to be known as \\u201cThe Curse of the Wandering Jew?\\u201d (The Curse of the Wandering Jew) *** In 1922, Charles Osbourne was in an accident involving a hog\\u2026 but that\\u2019s not the strange part. It\\u2019s the after-effects of that accident which caused him to continue to hiccup non-stop for almost seven decades! (My Hog Gave Me The Hiccups For 68 Years) *** In the 1980s workers in an English peat bog unearthed a body. And then another\\u2026 and then yet another, and another\\u2026 all apparent victims of violence. (The Bog Bodies of Lindow) *** But first\\u2026 An Oklahoma man strangles his fishing buddy to death\\u2026 and then blames it on Bigfoot! We begin with that story! (Bigfoot Killed My Fishing Buddy)
