This is the first of a series of podcasts where we look at strange anomalies of all sorts - ufo sightings, stange clouds, poltergeist-like phenomena, rains of stones, rains of fish, frogs, snakes, salamanders, blood, tissue, bones, rotting flesh, and more.
We also discuss the amazing metallurgy of a 2,500 year old sword found in a tomb in China, and the legends of "flexible glass" invented by an ancient Roman.
Enjoy!

Episode #107: Dabbler's Den
Chris gives us the rundown of the work of Antonio Zamorra and others who have done work on the Carolina bays and what they think may have caused this enormous field of geomorphic features in the landscape of the eastern seaboard of the United States. He also gives a great(and terrifying) minute-by-minute description of the catastrophic event that resulted in the Bays, and what it would have looked like from the ground.
