Cult Of Odd

They say our minds are a powerful thing. That we can collectively share experiences through our subconscious. They also say if you die in your dreams, you die in the waking world. These reason and more are what make fictional characters like Freddy Krueger and other "dream demons" so terrifying. The possibility of someone else controlling your dreams?Tonight we're gonna talk about a couple of moments in time where the populace was afraid to go to sleep...

In this episode, we delve into the unsettling and heartbreaking case of Chris Watts.  We recount the horrific events surrounding Watts, who infamously took the lives of his pregnant wife, Shanann, and their two young daughters, Bella and Celeste.  By skillfully analyzing video and audio recordings, and providing commentary, we aim to provide a comprehensive and haunting narrative that prompts reflection on the complexities of family dynamics and the profound impact of such heinous acts on the community. This episode serves as a compelling exploration into the darkest corners of the human psyche, offering a thought-provoking and emotionally charged examination of the Chris Watts case from our perspective.

Happy New Year everyone! Hopefully, you are all coming into 2024 in good health and with a bright outlook on the coming year. We wish you all the best going forward and hope to have you around for what we think will be an interesting year of topics and interaction with our community. We truly appreciate all of the love we've been receiving lately. we all know the Internet is a wild damn place! It can be your best friend, worst enemy or both at the same time. It can make you laugh, cry, make you feel connected or make you feel insecure. This episode is on a level that I hope makes you laugh or at least crack a smile. This is about how one man made us laugh at the absurdity that can be found in the conspiracy theory world and how we need to take a step back and have a good chuckle at life sometimes. And here we go!Yep, that's right, people! Birds aren't real! The fuck is wrong with you? Huh? You actually think all of these avian objects constantly passing over us daily are actual living creatures? Get out of here with that! Everyone knows that birds are government drones used to spy on the public. It's all a surveillance operation. All birds in the U.S. were exterminated between 1959 and 1971. They have since been replaced by drones to keep tabs on United States citizens. Why do you think you always see birds on power lines? That's how they recharge! Why are they always shitting on your car? That's not shit! It's a tracking device! And if you really want to get into the nitty gritty of it, does anyone want to guess why John F. Kennedy was assassinated?  Birds Aren’t Real? How a Conspiracy Takes Flight | Peter McIndoe | TED Winning Merch Design All Things Cult Of Odd

We talk about some of what to expect in the coming year from Cult Of Odd. We're bringing two new offerings, one is a true crime show called Cult Of Odd: Case Closed. My wife will be the brains behind the show and she'll be presenting cases to me. Those episodes will air on the weeks that Cult Of Odd isn't. Then coming to our patreon, we have a show called Cult Of Odd: Dead Of Night coming that will be a mix of our old Tell Me A Story and the old Nickelodeon show Are You Afraid Of The Dark? ^ of us will gather and tell each other scary stories that we dig up. Each episode one person will be chosen to read a scary tale and we'll talk a little bit about after. We also have a new shirt design available for a limited timehttps://www.bonfire.com/come-as-you-are-be-whore-your-are/We've also updated our website for easier finding us on your favorite platforms & socialshttps://www.thecultofodd.com/

Nobody knows exactly what happened to Elisa Lam, all that is known is pieced together from security footage and the findings of her autopsy. Somewhere between the M.E. report and the little to tidy of an explanation given by police and hotel staff...lays the truth of what happened to this poor woman. Elisa Lam was found dead inside the roof-top water tank of the infamous Cecil Hotel. The last known sighting of her comes via video surveillance foots from the hotel's elevator.Did Elisa Lam have a psychotic episode due to going off her meds, did the ghosts of previous residents play a role in her unfortunate death or was the something more sinister albeit human in play that night at The Cecil Hotel? Join us as we take a look at the case and speculate along the way.

In our final episode we explore then involvement of billion Robert Bigelow and his team of highly respected scientists and their time on Skinwalker Ranch. What does a real-estate mogul hove to do with a 512 acre ranch in rural Utah? He ain't putting up condos that's for sure.Join as we wrap-up our time spent with The Shermans all of the unexplained phenomena that took place at Skinwalker Ranch.

Supernatural, cursed, intertwined or something different all together? As a recap for our episode about Skinwalker Ranch in part 1: The newest owners of the property ( The Sherman's) had encountered what could only be described as a direwolf. A hulking wolf-like creature that was impervious to pain. It attacked a recently purchased calf before they were able to deter the strange animal with physical attacks as well as multiple firearms being used on it. This would only signal the beginning of the strange occurrences that would plague them during their short residence on the property. Part 2 dives even deeper into the strange occurrences at The Sherman Ranch. We hope you enjoy and share with others. Part 3 coming soon.

Name dropping the Sherman Ranch might not mean anything to the average person, those of us in the paranormal/creepy shit arenas know it all too well...although by a much different and spine shivering name. It is commonly known as Skinwalker Ranch. This episode marks the beginning of our 2 part series on the legend, lore and reality of that ranch.  We introduce the concepts, folklore and players involved with the report of unusual activity. SW Ranch is a hotbed of activity for cryptids, UFOs, otherworldly creatures and indigenous folklore that's steeped in shamanism and witchcraft. So settle in and turn the lights down. Make sure you check the closets and under the bed. These creatures we're about to talk about are not to be taken lightly. There are those that believe simply saying their name aloud welcomes evil and bad omens upon you. 

ALIENS ARE REAL.....So fucking what is what the world said. That's right, the U.S. Government held a hearing on U.A.P.s and disclosed that we are not alone and that they have been visiting us for a long while. Are they extraterrestrials? Unsure, but what they are is non human intelligences. That term could mean anything from interdimensional beings to E.T.s to creatures from within the depth of our own planet. The interesting thing about this hearing wasn't so much what was, but what wasn't said and how it wasn't said.So what does this all mean? Jack shit to most Americans, as we struggle to keep our roofs over our heads and to feed our families...the idea of Aliens being real just doesn't phase us. My question is, what are we being distracted from now? There are others that are concerned that this is the ramp up to Project Blue Beam being utilized. What is Blue Beam? Well we talk about it a little bit in this episode.We all are trying something new. Instead of giving you the fun size version...you're getting the entire episode. We hope this'll mean more viewers and subscribers to our twitch channel and youtube channel respectively. We hope you enjoy the full episode and leave feedback about whether you prefer the full length or the fun size episodes.Series MerchDesign 1Design 2

Here come the Men In Black...and Odd is gonna ramble. Welcome to Part 3 of our Yes Virginia, There Is Swamp Gas series about UFOs and the phenomena surrounding them. In this entry we cover those elusive and frightening purveyors of hostility and fear towards eye witnesses...The Men In Black. Sure Hollywood gave us a saccharine and and pop culture friendly depiction of these nefarious besuited individuals. We cover a bit of their history and speculate as to where they truly originate from. Plus Odd has few thoughts on society as a whole and how trusting what you hear/see/read has become a minefield of buzzwords and misleading propaganda....and ponders if it's all just one big Psy Op.Full episode here patreon.com/cultofodd.

Welcome to Part 2 of our series about the 1966 UFO Craze. SWAMP GAS! For a quick refresher see just below this. Thanks for 400+ Downloads on Part 1. In 1966, there were a series of sightings of bright lights in the sky over Michigan. The sightings were reported by hundreds of people over several days. This led to Congressman Gerald Ford requesting a Congressional hearing on the matter. The hearings ultimately found no evidence of extraterrestrial activity, but they did highlight the need for further investigation. The existence of alien life remains a topic of fascination and debate, with some scientists advocating for the possibility of life beyond Earth, while others remain skeptical. Regardless, the search for extraterrestrial life continues to captivate the minds of people around the world.Check out Old Mill Coffee https://www.oldemillcoffee.comFind us on Twitch https://twitich.tv/cultofoddJoin our Patreon https://twitch.tv/cultofodd

Recently I had been scouring the web looking for interesting things to dive into. I ran across the the UFO Craze of 1966 here in Michigan. As we dove in, we realized this was going to be need multiple parts to do it justice. So that's what we are doing. This is the beginning of our series. In it we kinda set everything up and explain a few important parts to the history of UFOs here in America. We introduce you to J. Allen Hynek, a name that will assuredly surface through out the series. We hope you enjoy this series. and if there is anything you'd like us to cover, let us know in the comments. We're also attempting to set up an interview or two with a couple Ufologists. Which will of course be available to our patrons. *Regarding the rant, despite that fact that those people lost their lives. I still stand firm on my stance. When you willingly ignore multiple lack of safety reports. You lose my sympathy, because you chose to put yours and other's lives on the line for purely selfish reasons. Big thank you to Matt Roberts for his help researching Hynek and with this series as a whole. HUGE SHOUT TO OUR PATRONS Justin Burnside, Bryce J. Roger, Les Zaldor and our Holy Mother!

I now have to double check my mixer and ensure it's not friend (send help)Bare with me as I try to fix whatever the issue was. I do apologize for the quality here.
