The Cult of Weird Twitter account has nearly 11k followers and has been sharing creepy and gruesome stories since 2011, but where you can find an even larger treasure trove of oddities is the Cult of Weird website. This site focuses on all things bizarre, spooky and strange, sharing stories that fall into various categories such as Aliens and UFOs, Weird Art, Cabinet of Curiosities, True Crime, Cryptozoology, From the Grave, Occult, Paranormal, Freak Show, Travel and Weird Book Club.

Visitors to the site can even purchase items to help give their homes the spooky and strange vibe they’re looking for. The site notes that it’s updated frequently with fascinating items of vintage weirdness like medical oddities, skulls, taxidermy, preserved insects, wet specimens, vintage funeral ephemera, Ouija boards and other occult objects. The first item that’s currently on sale at the shop is a “Victorian Child’s Viewing Coffin”. If I didn’t know what it was, I would think it’s just a beautiful piece of woodwork!

    Also, those priviliged, rich "un-alivers" with their gardens. Not everyone is rich enough for a garden, some of us have don't even have a garden to bury our un-alived victims in, do they ever think of that?

    To learn more about how Cult of Weird began in the first place, we reached out to the site's creator, Charlie Hintz. We wanted to know where Charlie's fascination for these bizarre topics came from and what inspired him to turn that into Cult of Weird. "I live in Wisconsin, where there is one legend or another around every corner," he shared. "Ghosts, monsters, UFOs. I was raised on these stories. As a child, I lived on a lake in the Kettle Moraine State Forest area near a grouping of Native American burial mounds. My neighbors were divers, and one day they found a skeleton in the lake. Another neighbor would apparently hear phantom drum sounds in the night."

    "In the 80s, hikers and horseback riders encountered naked people and the remains of animal sacrifices in the Kettle Moraine," Charlie told Bored Panda. "Apparently, there was a known cult conducting rituals in the woods. In 1988, the first season of Unsolved Mysteries featured the story of a haunted house I drove past frequently (and still do) because I have family in the area. My aunt knows that family."

    No, this outbreak was much, much worse insofar as it killed 3 times as many people as died in the 1914 - 18 war (also a little known fact is that it also killed as many as 40 % of all men under the age of 30 in Australia and New Zealand). No vaccines back then either.

    Well, pets can get certain diseases like Covid as well, there were fears at the time that pets could get/spread the Spanish flu too. I am curious about why the people in the photo did this: were they scared the cat would get ill, were they scared the cat would infect them, or were they just having some fun?

    Charlie went on to share even more examples of the strange occurrences that have happened in Wisconsin. "There’s Goatman and the Beast of Bray Road. Three Wisconsin towns claim to be the 'UFO Capital of the World', and each one has had their share of unexplained occurrences," he noted. "In one town, a retired police officer allegedly died of a mysterious illness just months after being struck by a blast of light from a UFO. In another, a local tavern owner kept a binder full of photos of UFOs photographed from the top of a nearby hill he believed concealed a pyramid."

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "Wisconsin resident August Derleth, who published the first collections of H.P. Lovecraft’s work, believed there were 'Cthulhu power zones' of ancient cosmic energy in Wisconsin," Charlie explained. "It’s been written that occultists conducted rituals on the shores of certain Wisconsin lakes in an attempt to awaken the eldritch 'Deep Ones' from their depths."

    "So many roads of the strange and unusual lead to Wisconsin," Charlie told Bored Panda. "I eventually became interested in why that was. I launched Cult of Weird in 2010 because it seemed like a good excuse to research the history, legends and folklore that spawned them."

    We then asked Charlie what he likes to feature on Cult of Weird and how he decides what to share. "I try to cover the whole range of Fortean subject matter - anything mysterious or difficult to explain, especially if it has cultural or historical connotations," he shared. "I love history, particularly when you can find modern connections to disturbing things that really happened in the past, and I’m a sucker for a good story."

    The birth of reconstructive surgery followed shortly. While the masks allowed the men to function in society, they were still masks. I personally would much rather have my face back than to have to hide behind a mask if I want to leave the house without people screaming in horror when they see the real me—-including the gaping hole in my face by a battlefield surgeon.

    And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight.8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” – Revelation 4:2-8

    "I like to explore legends that have grown around certain places, objects, or ideas, and what the historical basis for them might be," Charlie says. "Those stories are even more compelling when there are multiple witnesses or experiences, especially over long periods of time. Even better is when you hear from a skeptic, and they say, 'I didn’t want to be one of those people, but...'"

    "A lot of 'high strangeness' type of phenomena, however, like synchronicity, portals, stories of Indrid Cold or extraterrestrial ghost sasquatch…those often seem to me to be pareidolia at best and I tend to avoid them unless it relates to something more tangible."

    It gets even better: It comes to your door, singing in rhyme, and the person opening the door has to sing back with excuses why it can't come in. They have to keep singing back and forth, until one of them gives up. If the one person answering the door gives up, the horse skeleton goes into your house and drinks all your beer. (Or so I've read, I have unfortunately never witnessed this tradition myself yet.) I have a suspicion that a lot of beer was involved in creating this tradition too.

    The musical battling is called "PWNCO" .... Once inside, the entertainment continued with the Mari Lwyd running around neighing and snapping its jaws, creating havoc, frightening children (and perhaps even adults) while the Leader pretended to try to restrain it.

    "I definitely get some unusual experiences submitted by readers, and really they’re some of my favorites," Charlie noted. "But a lot of what I feature on Cult of Weird comes from random conversations I’ve had where someone mentions something strange, and I have to backtrack and say, 'Wait, what did you just say?' Or I find obscure details in old books that demand more attention, and ultimately lead to strange stories I hadn’t previously heard of."

    "I was wandering around a cemetery a few years back, photographing graves associated with various legends there, when someone approached me and said, 'You want to see the oldest grave here?' Naturally, I said yes, and followed them up a hill to a family plot from the 1850s," Charlie shared. "The engraved words on the stones (Born into Spirit-Life) lead to me uncovering the story of Nathaniel Tallmadge, third governor of the Wisconsin Territory, who once lived on that land and believed spirits taught his daughter how to play the piano."

    If this were a precaution against accidental live burial... why lock the tomb at all? This is a prevention against grave robbing. Leaving the key with the corpse would be a "just in case" measure.

    Sadly, you are 100% correct. While the fear of being buried alive was indeed real, the reality was that it was exceedingly rare. Most people in the 19th century could not afford a coffin, let alone a tomb with a lock and key. These keyed tombs we're for the very wealthy, and often the bodies were embalmed prior to burial. So they were dead AF. They key was more symbolism than anything.

    That's the part that gets me- often stuff on a sinkhole disappears, never to be seen again. But where does it actually GO? It has to end up somewhere, is it just that the holes are too deep to make retrieval possible or practical? Also, what does that do to your property value? You can't rebuild your house there, or can you?

    We were also curious what Charlie's favorite topics to cover are. "Modern civilization has a lot of skeletons in its closet, both literally and figuratively. I love the dark corners of history and archeology the most," he shared. "Also, I have a soft spot for ridiculous offbeat news stories. I still share them frequently on Cult of Weird. I read an article in the early 2000s about a fisherman who caught a talking fish. After he pulled it from the water, it issued a dire warning that the end of the world was near, and then he ate it. I don’t care what the reality of that story was - that article changed my life."

    But just because Charlie runs Cult of Weird does not mean he expects everyone to understand and believe in some of the topics they cover. "I’m a skeptic, too. I have human remains and vintage Ouija boards in my house, and I’ve never experienced anything remotely paranormal," he shared. "These objects may have traumatized a visitor or two, but there aren’t any spirits or demons wandering around my house moving stuff and flipping light switches."

    "People will sometimes go to great lengths to convince you of a thing they’ve made up for whatever reason," Charlie told Bored Panda. "But some stories are compelling and difficult to brush off so easily. You may not believe in ghosts, but when you make an effort to believe people, I think you start to see that there are more realities and perceptions than your own."

    I worked as a florist for 15 years and something similar happened. A really lovely guy came in and organised flowers for a funeral, picked out exactly what he wanted, paid and then said someone will call with the exact date when they know. A week later the police contact the shop to tell us that the man was planning his own funeral and that he had killed his self. I was only 18 when this happened & it freaked me out for a long time.

    Slightly off topic here, but reminds me of an elderly couple I knew in their 90's (been married 70+ years) who died in the same hospital on the same day, unbeknownst to each other. They each had their own coffin but were buried in one huge grave side by side. Strangely, just about the most romantic thing I ever saw!

    "I’ve never seen a flying saucer, but I had a conversation with my grandmother a few years ago about several sightings she’d had over Lake Michigan throughout her years that still perplexed her. It’s hard to discount that," Charlie says.

    "We have many beliefs and superstitions today that originated hundreds or thousands of years ago when we didn’t have science to make sense of things. Yet there are still things - prophetic dreams, for example - that myself and others close to me have experienced, that scientific explanations just don’t seem to satisfy," he noted.

    "My point is, I don’t think Bigfoot is out there throwing rocks at people in the woods, but I’m not going to assume I know what’s going on."

    My dad accidentally built a fireplace with a headstone, because he sometimes helps his church's groundskeeper clean up the cemetery. Over the years, stuff had gotten piled up in one corner of the cemetery, and he offered to help them haul it off. They put it all in the back of one of his fields, and later, he was looking for various stones for the fireplace. It wasn't until after it was built that someone noticed that a couple of the stones, which he had cut, spelled 'George' with very faint letters. He was able to figure out what must have happened afterwards. So, unfortunately, there is probably an unmarked grave somewhere in that cemetery, but at least George will always be remembered.

    So, was the idea that the police aren't gonna care anyway, or were they really dumb criminals? There is something cool about having epitaphs imprinted on your bread (apart from the hygiene aspect and creepiness). I don't know, it's kinda poetic. Like, every day around breakfast time, lots of people will be reminded that some woman named Margaret was a beloved mom who will always be missed.

    What do they even want the council to do? Put up signs that say 'abductions not allowed'? Declare war on aliens? Actually, that sounds like it would be a pretty cool movie, some local British council declaring war on aliens, and then there's a full blown war with aliens in some cute British little town, while the rest of the world is completely unaware of everything. With Simon Pegg maybe?

    Because of firearms restrictions, not even the local police have guns. There are three hunting rifles and one tazer in the district. Improvised weapons are needed. The local lawn care company forms a squad armed with strimmers and hedge trimmers. The Woman's Institute make molotov cocktails in jam jars. The Girls Lacrosse team launch them from lacrosse sticks. The allotment gardeners are armed with hoes, and one of them has converted a weed-sprayer into a flame thrower. The cricket club are armed with bats and three buckets full of cricket balls. Their best bowler can bean one alien on the head every 6 seconds.

    That was peeing on a third rail, and they found that you would have to be within two inches of the rail for it to electrocute you. That's unlikely if you're standing up, but maybe an electric fence is a bit different here, as you could well be right next to it.

    If I'm not mistaken this is an example of trepannation, which seems to have been invented independently in various parts of the world in ancient times. However, it is not brain surgery. The skull is opened in order to release pressure and remove pooling blood, but no parts of the brain are removed.

    Adam Jeff

    I suppose to be accurate we should say that we don't know if parts of the brain were removed, as it wouldn't show in the archaeological record. But trepanning as carried out in medieval times (for which we have records) did not touch the brain.

    People in ancient history used trepanation to remove blood clots, tumors or treat skull fractures and brain inflammation. Apparently they also used it to treat migraines, epilepsy and mental illnesses. Not sure about success rate though.

    Here’s a story in the medieval times a father told his son to hide his allowance from robbers. The boy put it in his mouth and when the father got home he took him to a doctor they drilled in his wind pipe and got it out. There were coins in a bag. I think the robbers did not get the money. The boy also survived.

    I remember hearing of one case where it happened in front of a witness. The woman was not smoking or drinking. She was sitting on a sofa with no flames around. She did have some sort of illness, however, and they believe that her body somehow managed to produce just the right combination of chemicals that they self-ignited. The witness tried to put her out, but they said fire was shooting out of her mouth like was all down inside of her. I saw the interview of the witness on a documentary years ago. The only thing I can find on it now is Case #1 on the link below, and unfortunately it doesn't mention the names. https://www.google.com/amp/s/gizmodo.com/10-cases-of-spontaneous-human-combustion-5855700/amp

    I find this fascinating! Notice how we haven't had the phenomenon occur in recent history at all? In each case, the room around them was unburnt. Nothing else showed any signs of burning, only the person. I think it was a foot left in that one case. No one has definitively discovered the source! All angles were looked into.... Very interesting.... I wish I knew how to spontaneously combust someone else, that must be quite a skill to have.

    The explanation for most cases - that people died or became unconscious and then got set on fire (by a cigarette say, or a fire in the room) and then their body fat acted like candle wax and their clothes like a wick - is considerably more disturbing IMHO.

    It's called a christmas tree but it was purposely designed to look like an a**l plug. It was made for a temporary exhibition. It made a lot of people laugh and was mostly well received. But some tight assed people demanded that it be taken down, one a*****e attacked the artist and the sculpture was eventually destroyed at night by some morons.

    I haven't thought of that for many decades, but back in the early 70s my gran crocheted necklaces with a pouch for camphor to ward off meningitis. I even remember mine was red with a baby pink trim. We were all vaccinated of course so goodness knows what she was thinking.

    So they buried all 8 of their dead infants in the same spot for 20 years? I know the infant mortality rate from that time was very high, but this seems excessive. Was she a serial baby killer? Did they have genetic issues? I would imagine sids or shaken baby syndrome must have been impossible to prove back then..... So baby's died all the time, how many were helped to be unalived? That seems so dark...

    As a stylist, the amount of time and materials that go into something like this would cost a LOT of money. Booking a stylist for at least an entire day can costs them potentially thousands if dollars is being taken into consideration as well as the amount of money to purchase the extra hair. Then factor in color matching said hair to clients own natural hair could take several attempts to perfect. Then attaching and creating the silhouette with that amount of height would be a trial and error process all it's own. Dang. If I walked into work and this was on my books I'd take an immediate FMLA for anxiety to avoid it. 💯

    The gold isn't his possession, though - it's a sacrifice of the people who provide it post-mortem as a sign of reverence/respect. Buddha images are often crafted out of precious materials or covered in them; there are even Buddha images made of solid gold: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Buddha_(statue)

    Well f*ck... I'm a little disappointed. No one remembered that if you put a bunch of dogs together they'll create a pack, and then behave as a pack, which includes hunting as a pack, and pack pecking orders? Dottie knew what was up when those dogs rushed out, and she sent them all a clear message. Sucks - but there it is.

    I completely agree with you on all points except that it was a single dog that ran out towards them, but dottie probably felt that she had to protect her family and she may have sensed the intent of the corgi very quickly. The type of dog that dottie was is not usually aggressive but is protective of their family.

    The nipping (not the actual biting incidents) is because they're bred to herd cattle and they nip at the heels of cattle to get them to go where they want to. As with other herding dogs they will tend to try and herd the humans in their family.

    Corgies are vicious little dogs! When we were little, my sister was 3, I was 7. The neighbors had a corgi. Was a very friendly dog. One day my sister was petting it, she was sitting on her knees. The little demon for no reason attacked my sister and ripped her face up. Needed a lot of stitches. This was 30+ years ago. She's fine now with minimal scars, but Holy cow! That was terrifying!

    Corgis were traditionally working dogs for herding cattle. They have an instinctive tendency to nip at ankles, and most also have the instinct to chase pretty much anything that moves.

    I'm curious whether it helped a bit or whether it was complete nonsense, but it's difficult to find info. The only thing I could find is how supposedly worked: "The apparatus, operated by electricity, is attached to the patients head, and the nose is strapped to tiny heat conducting plates which fit like spectacles. A high frequency current is applied for a few minutes and this heat penetrates to the tissues of the mucous membranes of the nose. The congestion is immediately relieved and the germs causing the cold are killed by the current which, however, does not injure the tissues. "
