About this episode

The episode covers bizarre news stories including wildlife in Chernobyl, missing scientists, and a man who transformed his body into a Marvel encyclopedia.

Bizarre News April 2026 | Paranormal Podcast April's Bizarre News had us covering everything from the unexpected wildlife sanctuary blooming inside Chernobyl's exclusion zone, to a deeply unsettling federal investigation into 11 scientists with security clearances tied to aerospace, nuclear, and defense programs who've died or vanished under mysterious circumstances since 2022. We also got into a guy in England who spent 350 hours and over $13,000 turning his body into a living Marvel encyclopedia — 63 characters and counting — and wrapped things up with Grammy-winning country star Kacey Musgraves going viral after claiming she watched three glowing orbs do things no known aircraft can do for 45 minutes straight on a flight from Texas to Nashville. Wild month, wild stories, and we changed Tyler's tire before recording so you know the commitment is real. 🛸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon. 🛸 ⁠⁠Have a paranormal encounter or story you'd like told on the podcast? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Submit it here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🛸 Subscribe to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🛸…
