Description
After my father's death, I had some strange stuff happen that nudged me to learn about the supernatural. What I've been finding out is life is way more complicated, strange, and wonderful than I'd ever dreamed. The best part? Science is starting to catch up. I focus on the place where science and supernatural collide. What does it mean to be a soul in a meat suit? All episodes are made and offered in love. *All Curious Cat content is owned and operated by Storm Mystery Press LLC

Send us a text Happy Halloween! Landing on a Friday, if you have kids in school, their day probably included some tricks and treats, I hope, and maybe an emergency run to school to drop off an extra dozen orange cupcakes. I have such nice memories of helping the kids' classes have a fun party, often heading up an art project, or making a quiet corner for kids that aren't into the party thing with a basket of Halloween books and Legos. I got curious about the true origins of Halloween. And how...
Send us a text Last week we set out on the Pacific Crest Trail, trekking up California, reaching Mount Shasta, where a little boy and a grandmother had a strange experience. I shared the Eternal Trail tribute written by a grieving father, and you learned about the best PCT resource out there, Halfway Anywhere. This week, we pick up the trail in Oregon, home to some of the best and worst the PCT has to offer. There are mysteries on this stretch of water-logged forest. But up first? The story o...
Send us a text There's a trail that runs from the Mexico-U.S. border north through California, Oregon and Washington, ending at the Canadian border. A grueling test of grit and endurance, it's no surprise those that attempt some or parts of the Pacific Crest Trail are changed. Long after blisters heal over, hammies stop aching, shins come back to normal, the stories of the trail linger in the minds of hikers. Is it the hours alone? Or the silence? Or the senses that become sharper watching fo...
Send us a text Northern California, this stretch sand, rocks, logging roads, wineries, tiny towns and pulsing centers of culture are one of my happy places. Often when I travel here to visit family, I fly into Santa Rosa, a quaint airport that feels like a time capsule, with touches of Peanuts' cartoonist, Charles Schultz everywhere. Fog-nipped mornings, the sound of a distant train, a winding stretch of trees, shoulders of highway that drop off a rocky incline, this is a place best enj...
Send us a text Last week we ventured along the East Coast, specifically Florida's famed Space Coast to share the story of a civil rights couple who was killed by the KKK. We went a few miles inland to rewrite our old school programming about ancient civilizations thanks to scientific analysis of soft tissue matter, bones, bottle gourds and fabrics preserved for from 7-9,000 years ago, and this week? Well, the east coast can't have all the spotlight, can it? I'm looking closely at some of the ...
Send us a text A few months back while I was researching strange history in and around the Orlando area, I found a YouTube video that stuck with me. A young man that likes to explore abandoned places went to a house in an upscale neighborhood of Orlando to see what had happened to a house whose owners were gone, the wife murdered and her husband in prison for life. Something about their dog crates in the driveway and the gutted interior has haunted me ever since. It's a story straight off of ...
Send us a text This week we are going from the East Coast. And next week to the west, because as I researched incidents of high strangeness on Florida's space coast, I found a geolocation full of weirdness in California's space pocket, and yes, I DID make that nickname up. The location in California is north of Santa Barbara, west of La Purisma Mission and near a famous spot for split pea soup. But, enough about NEXT week! This week, our journey takes us the east coast of Florida, best known ...
Send us a text This episode began after an actor that was rumored for decades to be dead, actually died. I thought it was a lighthearted way to touch death and feel more alive than ever, a sort of auditory momento mori, but after outlining the stories, it can also serve as a cautionary tale. Leave instructions, pinned to your shirt front or tucked into your wallet by your ID, to have a coroner check for your pulse, then check again and again. Ask that your family grin and bears it if th...
Send us a text Why is Florida a magnet for alien encounters? Is it because Florida is sandwiched between two huge bodies of water? Or it's space activity on the east coast? Or the dynamic nature of the state with visitors, residents and tourists drawn to this slim patch of land from across the globe? This episode shares the data, reports from locals, and then takes a broader look at the impact seeing something supernatural can have on a person. Let's get into it. (And hang on after the ...
Send us a text Once smashed into the west side of Africa, Florida has bits of its ancient history buried nine miles beneath its sands. With a hurricane birth canal that parallels the path slave ships took long ago, what other traces of Africa still exist in Florida land, sea and lore? Let's get into it. p.s. Not mentioned in the episode (because I found this out later) but the iconic African Baobab tree resides in Florida, too. Just couldn't help but share that fact. Show Source - What ...
Send us a text Florida trees knit their root system into sub-sea-level sands across the state. Dripping with Spanish moss, or what Australians call, 'Grandpa's Beard' that tricks the eye in the moonlight, making it seem the trees are emitting a smoky aura. It takes little imagination to recognize Gandolph, Dumbledore, Merlin, Green Man or Mother Earth while dwelling among Florida's trees. I've gathered together stories of trees you must know. Some have become crossroads where hope lies ...
Send us a text If they can flood the aisles of stores with school supplies on July 5th, then I can boldly venture onto Halloween in August. This week I share some creepy, sneaky, haunting tales I've found dripping off the spanish moss across the state of Florida. Put on your pjs, dim the lights and nestle into the pillows. When your eyes adjust to the darkness, hit <Play> and enjoy. Oh, and my favorite story? It's about a ghost at Walt Disney World. Guess what attraction this charming g...
Send us a text Last week, I shared some strange urban legends with you about Florida. I left off sharing two things, first, Florida has more than its share of cryptids! And second, my daughter that got me curious about the spooky side of this state, told me an urban legend you've got to hear. Let's get into it! Florida Cryptids If you were to attend some supernatural trivia night at the local pub, then I've no doubt if asked what the most famous Florida cryptid was, you'd know the answe...

Send us a text Last week we began our trek across the bridge to the celestial! We remembered our connection to the stars, and their connection to our very DNA. From a deep dive into birth charts to the ways the stars have pressed into the soul of Night Sky Tourist, there's no doubt about the influence of the Sun and Moon and stars have on us! How about legends of werewolves? Humans changing into half-dog, half-human beasts during a full moon. Do our moods change based on lun...
Send us a text We are in the dog days of summer. It's a season of campouts, when a tent pitched in a backyard offers cool relief from sunny days. Those magical nights are a bridge to the celestial realm. From stories written in the stars to the placement of the Sun, Moon and planets at the moment of our birth, to the impact Moon phases and Sun spots have on our human bodies? The bridge to the celestial realm awaits. Let's step onto it. The Celestial Bridge When I think of the brid...
Send us a text This week we are daring to trek on the bridge to Hell. Maybe you think as a collective we are fully in Hell mode as of late. Is Earth the Hell realm as some believe? Or is the only Hell concocted in our minds? What do near death experiencers have to say about Hell? What religions besides Christianity preach about Hell? Is the message the same or different? And most important for those little sizzlers out there like myself, how do we avoid Hell altogether? Let's get into it. Hel...
Send us a text With this video game we call reality getting wild lately, I thought it was a good moment in time to dance on the bridge to Heaven. If near-death-experiencers are right in their accounts, Heaven is our true home, all of us. It is rife with colors, music, and unconditional love. We need a bit of that chicken soup for the soul right now, don't we? Let's channel our inner Led Zepplin and climb the stairway or bridge to Heaven. Heaven 101 Heaven. Nirvana. Eden. Paradise. Ciel...
Send us a text When I say the word 'imagination' what comes to mind first? What age were you when you last used your imagination? I mean used it and then bragged about your skills to someone else? Were you a kid in school? I think of SpongeBob, shaping his hands into a rainbow saying slowly, "Imagination!" What if I told you it's not just the stuff of childhood? In fact, it may be a superpower. It is definitely a bridge between an idea and reality. Let's get into it. Imagination 101 Mi...
Send us a text A few weeks back I showcased a retro episode, my first conversation with Derek Condit from Mystical Wares. In it, he spoke of his personal experiences with Sasquatch, one happened on a hiking trail with his daughter. I hope you caught that, his telling and later his theory about cryptids, including Sasquatch. I've been hearing it repeated more lately, but Derek was the first person I heard say this, that cryptids are interdimensional. What's that mean? They jump between dimensi...
