About this listen

Are cemeteries really the end of the story… or just the beginning? In this unsettling episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro wander into places where the boundary between the living and the dead feels dangerously thin. From Kansas’ infamous Stull Cemetery—rumored to conceal a sealed staircase to somewhere no one should go—to Massachusetts’ eerie Spider Gate, where paths seem to pull you inward, this episode explores real locations tied to chilling legends of portals, watchers, and something waiting just beyond the veil. Along the way, you’ll hear accounts of ghostly figures, missing time, red eyes in the dark, and the unsettling idea that some gates don’t just keep things out… they may be holding something in. Is it folklore? Psychology? Or something far stranger? Then, things take a sharp turn into the bizarre history of hair restoration—from cow licks and pigeon poop to ancient Egyptian remedies that will make you question everything you thought you knew about baldness. Plus, Kat shares a fascinating (and slightly terrifying) look at Caribbean Moko Jumbies—towering stilt walkers rooted in West African spiritual traditions, believed to protect communities from unseen forces… whether your nervous system agrees or not. Dark, strange, funny, and just a little unsettling—this episode reminds us that some places aren’t just remembered… they remember back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
