50 States of Weird

Eastern State Penitentiary

Before modern prisons, there was an experiment. At Eastern State Penitentiary, inmates were kept in total isolation… no contact, no sound, no escape from their own minds. What started as reform turned into something much darker. In this episode, we break down the history, the psychological toll, and why many believe something still lingers inside those cell blocks.

Mt. Shasta

In this episode, we explore the history, the sightings, and the theories behind one of the most mysterious locations in the United States.

The Mothman

People didn’t just see something in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966— they kept seeing it. Different nights. Different locations. Same description every time. The Mothman story isn’t about one encounter. It’s about what happens when sightings don’t stop… and then suddenly do.

The Jersey Devil (Pilot)

There’s a massive forest in New Jersey that shouldn’t exist. For over 250 years, people have been seeing something in it—wings, hooves, and a scream that doesn’t sound right. In this episode, we break down the Jersey Devil… from its origin in the 1700s to the week in 1909 when sightings exploded and entire towns started shutting down.
