50 States of Weird Wed, 10 Jun 2026 11:49:15 -0400 http://www.50statesofweird.com en-us © 2026 50 States of Weird yes Support this Podcast a76d6762-f82d-5e42-aebe-5fda111303f7 Jimmy Parks episodic false 50 States of Weird is a storytelling podcast that takes you across America—one state at a time—into its strangest legends, unexplained events, and local folklore.


From cursed forests and ghost towns… to cryptids, disappearances, and real-life mysteries… every episode dives into a story that people still can’t fully explain.


Some are historical.

Some are terrifying.
Some are just… off.


But all of them have one thing in common:


Too many people experienced something… for there to be nothing.

A series of sightings.
And something moving through the night that no one could explain.

In 1903, the town of Van Meter reported encounters with a creature unlike anything they had ever seen—glowing horn, odd movement, and a presence that didn’t behave like any known animal.

What started as isolated sightings quickly turned into something bigger… and far harder to understand.

For decades, scientists, billionaires, and even the U.S. government have tried to understand what’s happening here… and failed.

Because whatever is out there doesn’t stay, doesn’t repeat, and doesn’t want to be understood.

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.

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.
