Episode Details

In the 1940s, two Midwest families faced the same bizarre circumstance: unexplained fires that seemed to spring up from nowhere, burning all over their homes—with no clear source. Was it, as many in the small town of Odon, Indiana suspected, the work of a "fire poltergeist," or some other supernatural force? Or could it be one of the many theories Air Force investigators floated at the second location, in Macomb Illinois?

One Strange Thing: True Paranormal Mysteries explores the archives of the unexplained, blending rigorous historical research with a wry, skeptical wit to investigate true supernatural stories and baffling mysteries that made headlines.
