Strange Realm - Ep. 121 - July 20th, 2025

On this episode, we bring you a haunting and hallucinogenic episode as we look at the weirdest and wildest news we could find, including recent tragic news that a paranormal investigator has died while on tour with the notorious doll Annabelle, as well as sensational claims made about Jesus by a modern-day Templar, a study that shows psylocibin has anti-aging effects, and we take a deeper look into the Louisiana monster known as the Rougarou. All of this and then, after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Beware of the Woods," by Tony Urban.
