Summary

Classical music composers throughout time have envied Beethoven's output — and the fact that his ninth symphony, with "Ode To Joy," was such a juggernaut. But there's an old superstition about composing ninth and tenth symphonies in Beethoven's wake… and there've been enough deaths involved that the prospect of a curse is worth considering. One Strange Thing: True Paranormal Mysteries explores the archives of the unexplained, blending rigorous historical research with a wry, skeptical wit to investigate true supernatural stories and baffling mysteries that made headlines.

0:00.0	I'm Lauren Norton, and this is one strange thing,
0:08.0	the show where we search the nation's news archives for stories that can't quite be explained. Strangers, we must admit, we love a good curse.
0:30.7	Not being cursed, because obviously we don't have time for that, and neither does anyone
0:35.8	else.
0:36.8	But tales of curses.

0:51.0	Honestly, it's a fascinating concept.
0:53.8	Then there are the links that people go in order to banish
0:57.2	a curse, and that the consequences of not doing so can be dire. The genre is a big, delicious
1:05.0	can of dramatic worms, with enough variation to keep things truly interesting. It's no wonder that we've covered all manner of cursed objects, from dolls to cabinets.

1:33.6	It's because we're not discussing a concrete object,
1:36.7	but rather cursed music,
1:39.2	and it's not even one song in particular.
