Inbox Of Oddities #59

REM Sleep, Clock Curses, and Alien Heat Lightning Vote Box of Oddities For People's Choice Award Here! Live Show Info And Tickets Here! In this listener-powered episode of The Box of Oddities, JG and Kat crack open the inbox and out pour... auditory hallucinations, ghost clocks, spontaneous astral projection, and the shocking truth about “heat lightning.” (Spoiler: it’s probably aliens.) First, a listener shares how her dreams are so vivid and reality-bending due to Narcolepsy that she’s genuinely not sure which world is real—relatable, terrifying, and yes, somehow still funny. Then, a cursed wall clock starts ticking every time someone dies. No batteries. No mercy. Just 12 minutes of tick-tock you're next. Meanwhile, someone else swears that a strange sky phenomenon isn’t just distant thunder—it’s the government covering up UFO joyrides. (Can’t argue with that logic.) You’ll also hear about a haunted hallway birth involving Richard Simmons, dolphin-whale linguistics, astral projection lessons, and what happens when massage therapists listen to BoO during bodywork sessions (spoiler: they cry, and so do you). Whether it’s clock-based death omens or the weirdly uplifting side of functional neurological disorders, this Inbox delivers what your brain craves: weird, real, and unreal tales from the wonderfully odd corners of the BoO family. Listen now... or risk becoming the sixth tick of the clock. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
