In the quiet woods of York County, Pennsylvania, superstition festered into fear… and fear turned fatal.
In 1928, three men entered a farmhouse with rope, kerosene, and the belief that the man inside—Nelson Rehmeyer—was a witch who had cursed their lives. What followed was one of the most bizarre and brutal murders in American history, forever staining a patch of land now known as Hex Hollow.
Join Lee, Jen, and Josh as they uncover a chilling story of folk magic, religious mysticism, and a book some believed could heal—or destroy. From the twisted spells of The Long Lost Friend to the lingering whispers in Rehmeyer’s house, this episode blends history, horror, and high strangeness into one unforgettable tale.
Because sometimes… it’s not the unknown that haunts us.It’s what we believe in.

Some places are strange.This one is something else entirely.
Nestled in the Utah desert lies a stretch of land so soaked in high strangeness, it’s become ground zero for the paranormal. Lights in the sky. Shapeshifters in the dark. Cattle mutilations so precise they defy logic—and predators that seem to come from another dimension.
In Part One of our ongoing investigation, we explore the ancient Indigenous lore that gave this place its name… and the bone-chilling experiences of the Gorman family, who tried to make the ranch their home—and barely made it out. From giant wolves that wouldn’t die to portals opening midair, their accounts helped cement Skinwalker Ranch as the paranormal hotspot of the modern age.
This is not a story that ends here.It’s only the beginning.
We’ll be back. But for now… welcome to Skinwalker Ranch.Don’t wander too far from the light.

In the winter of 1980, something unexplainable lit up the night sky over Rendlesham Forest — and it wasn’t just seen by civilians. U.S. Air Force personnel stationed at RAF Bentwaters witnessed bizarre lights, strange metallic objects, and a chilling series of events that would be called "Britain’s Roswell."
Tonight, Lee, Jen, Josh, and special guest Evan dive deep into the Rendlesham Forest Incident — breaking down the timeline, exploring the eyewitness reports, and uncovering the theories (from secret military experiments to full-on extraterrestrial contact).
🔦 What really happened in those shadowed woods?🔦 Why did official reports vanish and memories get...strange?🔦 And why does this case still leave even skeptics scratching their heads?
Grab your flashlight and join us in the mist — because something landed in that forest... and it’s a story you won't forget.

👽 In 1994, on a dusty playground in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, sixty schoolchildren witnessed something that would change their lives forever.
They said it wasn’t just a light in the sky.It wasn’t just a flying craft.It was beings—with large eyes and a message for humanity.
Thirty years later, their stories haven’t changed… but the world still isn’t sure what to believe.
Join us as we dig into one of the most compelling mass UFO sightings of all time. From eyewitness testimony and media manipulation to the eerie warnings said to be transmitted telepathically, this is not your average alien encounter.

In 1996, the small Brazilian town of Varginha was rocked by what some call Brazil’s Roswell. Eyewitnesses claimed to have seen a strange cigar-shaped craft fall from the sky, followed by encounters with terrifying, red-eyed creatures. Military vehicles swarmed the area. Bodies were taken. Stories were buried.
But what if this incident wasn’t just an isolated crash? What if it was the second shot in a hidden war that started five years earlier?
In this episode of Secret Society of Strangers, we unravel a timeline that begins with a mysterious moment captured by NASA in 1991 aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery—a flash, a zig-zagging object, and what many believe was a top-secret railgun test caught on camera… aimed at something not of this world.
Was Varginha ground zero for extraterrestrial retaliation? Did Brazil become collateral damage in a conflict humanity isn’t supposed to know about?
Was it just a crash? Or was it retaliation?
This isn’t just another UFO story—this might be the cover-up of an interstellar war already underway. Buckle up, strangers.

In 1961, a New Hampshire couple took a detour that would make history—and launch the modern UFO abduction phenomenon. When Betty and Barney Hill returned from a road trip, they brought with them hours of missing time, strange physical evidence, and a story that would shake the foundations of what we think we know about extraterrestrial encounters.
In this episode, we peel back the layers of memory, hypnosis, and high strangeness to explore what really happened on that dark, winding road. Were the Hills just victims of a shared delusion—or the first humans to be taken aboard an alien craft?

This week, Jen takes us deep into 17th-century England for a disturbing journey through paranoia, power, and persecution. Meet Matthew Hopkins, the self-appointed Witchfinder General, who turned the chaos of the English Civil War into a personal witch-hunting enterprise. Sanctioned by Cromwell’s Puritans, Hopkins traveled the countryside with his henchmen, extracting confessions through torture and raking in a tidy profit for every “witch” he condemned. It’s a grim tale of fear exploited, justice perverted, and history’s dark appetite for scapegoats. Grab your salt circle—this one’s a rough ride.

Welcome back, strangers, to another mind-bending journey on "The Secret Society of Strangers." This week, we're slipping through the seams of time itself with tales that defy explanation and challenge our understanding of reality. Join us as we explore three astonishing cases of time slips, where ordinary individuals step into the past—or is it the future?—without ever leaving the present.
First, soar through the skies with Sir Victor Goddard, an RAF pilot who encounters a future that shouldn't exist yet. Next, wander the streets of Kyiv with Sergey Ponomarenko, a man out of time, clutching a camera that captures more than just memories. Finally, unravel the mysterious three-decade disappearance of Vasile Gorgos, a Romanian farmer who returns as if no time had passed at all.
Are these stories of temporal anomalies mere figments of imagination, or are there cracks in the chronological world we believe to be solid? Tune in to ponder the impossible, laugh at the inexplicable, and perhaps feel a shiver as we ask: what if time isn't as linear as it seems?
Subscribe, share, and keep questioning the mysteries of the universe with us. Time may slip, but our search for answers never wavers.

Before flying saucers, before Tic-Tac UFOs, before government task forces scrambling to explain strange things in the sky—there were the mysterious airships of 1896 and 1897. Reports flooded newspapers across the U.S.: massive, otherworldly crafts, some equipped with bright searchlights, others manned by bizarre humanoids. Were they experimental aircraft, mass hysteria, or something else entirely?
In this episode, we dive into one of history’s earliest recorded UFO flaps and compare it to modern-day UAP sightings and the recent drone phenomena. Are we witnessing the same pattern of strange technology appearing just ahead of its time? And why do these mysterious aerial objects always seem to match the limits of human imagination? Join us as we explore one of history’s greatest unsolved skybound mysteries—because some things never change, they just get new names.

In this gripping episode of "The Secret Society of Strangers," we dive deep into one of history's darkest chapters: the Black Death. We explore the catastrophic impact of the plague that ravaged Europe, wiping out nearly a third of its population in the 14th century. With vivid descriptions and chilling accounts, we paint a picture of a world turned upside down by fear and death.
But our journey doesn't end there. Fast forward to the 17th century, where we meet Samuel Pepys, an English diarist whose writings provide an invaluable window into the life during and after another devastating outbreak—the Great Plague of London. Pepys’s detailed diaries offer a personal and often raw portrayal of the societal upheavals, personal trials, and daily struggles during one of London's most terrifying periods.
Join Lee, Josh, and Jen as they unravel how these two catastrophic events shaped human history and personal lives. From eerie similarities in public responses to intriguing differences in handling the crises, this episode connects the past to the present, reminding us of the enduring human spirit amidst calamity.

What if I told you a man claims to channel an extraterrestrial being named Bashar from a parallel dimension—and that his teachings just might hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe? Sounds crazy, right? But what if it’s not?
In this episode of The Secret Society of Strangers, we dive into the mind-bending story of Darryl Anka, a Hollywood special effects artist turned interdimensional ambassador. Through his decades-long journey of channeling Bashar, we explore concepts like infinite realities, the nature of consciousness, and what it really means to live your "highest vibration."
At first, it might seem outlandish, even laughable, but by the end, you just might find yourself questioning the fabric of your own reality. Is Darryl Anka a delusional storyteller—or could he actually be the real deal? Buckle up, Strangers, because this episode might just expand your mind...or blow it entirely.
Reality is stranger than you think, and this week, we’re here to prove it.
