About This Podcast
Strange things happen. Sometimes they leave records.
State of the Unknown examines strange events that disrupted real lives.
From documented hauntings and unexplained encounters to cases that forced police, clergy, doctors, or investigators to respond, each episode focuses on what actually happened — who was involved, what was reported, and what changed afterward.
These are not campfire stories. They are incidents with names, dates, locations, and consequences.
Some have clear explanations. Others do not.
But all of them left a mark.
If you’re drawn to strange events told straight, without exaggeration, without theatrics, this is your show.
New episodes every week.
