Summary

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, things get weird—fast. First, JG explores the chilling legend and even chillier reality of Wendigo psychosis—a rare (and horrifyingly real) condition where individuals become obsessed with consuming human flesh. Spoiler: It’s not a new fad diet. Then, Kat balances the darkness with heartwarming stories of random acts of kindness that didn’t just make someone’s day—they triggered astonishing ripple effects across lives, time zones, and possibly dimensions. It’s cannibalism meets compassion, because why not? Tune in for a mind-bending blend of the macabre, mysterious, and meaningful, delivered with the trademark curiosity and humor you expect from The Box of Oddities. Whether you're into dark folklore, psychological anomalies, or unexpected tearjerkers, this episode has your weird little heart covered. Learn more about your ad choices.
