Summary

This week on Inbox of Oddities, Kat and Jethro open the mailbag to stories that blur the line between coincidence, consciousness, and the truly unexplainable. From an apartment building where the elevator refuses to stop on one occupied floor, to a deeply moving firsthand account of near-death experience, angelic visitation, and spiritual awakening, these listener submissions linger long after the episode ends. You’ll also hear eerie workplace anomalies that feel like time slips, mysterious recurring figures appearing in years of photographs, intimate moments of human-animal connection, and reflections on how trauma, survival, and compassion can reshape a life. Along the way, Kat and Jethro explore ideas of interconnected consciousness, the illusion of separation, and what it might mean to glimpse the larger web we’re all part of. Equal parts unsettling, heartfelt, and quietly profound, this Inbox of Oddities episode delivers true listener stories of glitches in reality, unexplained encounters, and moments that forever change how we see the world—and ourselves.

And you've been collecting rocks from different places for years with the idea in mind that one day you'll get a rock tumbler. One day. Yeah. And you know what it'd be cool if you got some kind of a little engraving tool and you could write on the bottom of the rock
