The Goblin-Possessed Kitchen That Drove a City MAD

About this episode

The episode explores the bizarre case of a stove that began to talk in 1934 Zaragoza, leading to widespread chaos and questioning the paranormal.

From smart speakers to AI-powered TVs — in 2026 we are used to inanimate objects talking to us. But in the early 20th century if you told someone your stove cracked a joke?

The subsequent chaos would consume the entire city causing full blown ‘goblin fever’. But was ANY of it really paranormal?
