Believing the Bizarre: Paranormal Conspiracies & Myths

• Haunted Schools: Part 1

  This week, we dive into the dark hallways and shadowy corners of America's most haunted schools just as students head back to class. We explore two particularly eerie Schools: Pocatello High School in Idaho, where urban legends tell of a tragic suicide pact from the 1940s-50s that left one girl hanging from the top lockers (which were subsequently removed), and a ghostly wet child who supposedly drowned in the school's former pool. The campus is also known for phantom piano music echoing through an empty auditorium and unsettling sounds from the theater's changing rooms. Then we discuss the much more historically documented El Paso High School in Texas, built in 1916 over underground tunnels that once served as a morgue during the Spanish flu epidemic. With alleged deaths on campus, sealed-off rooms discovered years later, and even a mysterious figure appearing in a 1985 school photograph, this institution has a deeply troubling past. We also share two compelling anonymous stories from Reddit - one involving a Catholic preschool next to an 1800s cemetery where staff regularly encounter a spirit they call "Mary," and another from an Ohio behavioral school with such intense paranormal activity that it's now being demolished.

• The Haunted Pool Mannequin

  The Haunted Pool Mannequin This week, we dive into two chilling listener submissions that will make you think twice about your next swim or house purchase. Get 60% off the Magic Mind offer with our link https://magicmind.com/bizarremf or code BIZARRE60 upon checkout. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Our first story comes from Baker in Nebraska, who experienced some truly terrifying encounters while working as a lifeguard at what can only be described as a haunted pool facility. From feeling constantly watched while cleaning locker rooms to hearing mysterious conversations and footsteps when alone, Baker's experiences escalated dramatically after the staff started treating their CPR training mannequin, Fred, like a real person. Our second story takes us on a decades-long journey with Tara and her family, spanning from 2001 to 2024 across multiple homes in Texas. What began as a dream house purchase - complete with two acres and a backyard creek - quickly turned into a nightmare when neighbors warned them that "no one stays together in this house." We explore the escalating paranormal activity that seemed to center around Tara's mother, from shadow figures and putrid smells to physical attacks and one of the most unsettling doppelganger encounters we've ever heard. ⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.

• Terrified Together with Drinking the Koolaid

  We're thrilled to share our second official "Terrified Together," , where we welcomed Amanda and Cassidy from Drinking the Koolaid for some creepy listener submission stories. Our first tale comes from Reagan, who experienced something truly unsettling during a seventh-grade school trip to the notoriously haunted Savannah, Georgia. What started as an innocent exploration of a small cemetery near their log cabin accommodations took a dark turn. Our second story transported us to rural Texas in 2020, where Sabrina's routine drive home from babysitting her nephew became anything but ordinary. Strange lights pursued her car at impossible speeds, followed by a mysterious loss of time and unexplained physical symptoms. We wrapped up with Ben's lifelong encounters in Montana, beginning with childhood visits from what he called "The Stomp Dance girls" and escalating to shadow figures and mysterious dancing lights in his bedroom.
