In a country with 50 separate territories with unique cultural backgrounds, laws, and social practices, it's unsurprising that citizens of each state in the US find pride in the unique histories of their home residency. Still, while we may boast about our own states and believe that we have a good idea of what goes on in others based on stereotypes and generalized ideas of regions throughout the US, there are a lot of surprising facts about the Midwest, the South, the Northeast, and the West Coast that are unbelievably bizarre but true.

The Middle Ages spanned from roughly 500 to 1500 CE. For much of that time, the people of England lived under a feudal system in which both the laws, and the penalties for breaking them, were significantly more bizarre than the ones we are familiar with today.

Personal hygiene in the 1700s was heavily maintained through a complicated balance of practicality, religious belief, and social position. Men and women living in colonial America washed their bodies and clothes with varying degrees of regularity, often falling victim to disease and disorder as a result.


Despite the differing attributes of the original colonies, colonial hygiene in the earliest cities and rural settlements in America always left a lot to be desired, with odors, dirt, and waste being inescapable parts of daily life. Middle- and upper-class people tried to avoid or mask common nuisances like insects, usually to no avail, while lower classes simply struggled to survive.

Everyone knows that traveling into space raises a lot of difficult issues, for example: How do you feed a human in zero gravity? Crumbs can damage equipment, liquids float away, and every meal has to survive launch while providing enough nutrition to keep astronauts alive millions of miles from Earth.

In this episode of Weird History Food, we explore the strange, surprising history of space food, from freeze-dried meals to the science behind eating in orbit. Discover how NASA solved one of the most unexpected problems of human spaceflight, and why feeding astronauts remains a challenge more than 75 years after the dawn of the Space Age.

Long before he was hanged in 1896 for murdering his business partner, Herman Webster Mudgett, better known as Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, had built a reputation for fraud, deception, and violence. He also built an infamous "Murder Castle" in Chicago, a labyrinthine building allegedly designed to lure and kill travelers attending the 1893 World's Fair. Historians have confirmed at least nine victims, but many believe the true death toll may have been far, far higher.

On this episode of Weird History Presents: Graveyard Shift we separate the historical record from the sensational rumors surrounding H. H. Holmes, exploring the crimes, scams, and enduring mysteries that turned him into one of history's most notorious figures.

Do you believe the legends about H.H. Holmes and his"Murder Castle"? Let us know in the comments!

What if there was an artifact so powerful it could give you eternal life or unlimited wealth? If you could only pick one what would you choose? Infinite life or infinite wealth? Well, what if I told you there's an ancient object that’s said to be able to do just that? An artifact said to be 36,000 years old, originating from the lost city of Atlantis called the Emerald Tablets.

The story of the Emerald Tablets is incredible and it involves the secrets of the universe, alchemy and eternal life, secret societies, the lost city of Atlantis, the pyramids of Egypt, a secret truth and a hidden lie, a lie that you might’ve heard that’s being spread today.

Does all this sound hard to believe? Well what if I also told you that some of the most intelligent people in history, like Isaac Newton, Roger Bacon, and Carl Jung were obsessed with something called “The Emerald Tablet” and believed it held the key to an ancient secret?

The Emerald tablets are said to be 36,000 years old and written by Thoth. Who is Thoth? Thoth, is the Egyptian ibis-headed god, credited with the creation of writing, magic, and wisdom and the keeper of divine records. But does that mean that the emerald tablets were written by a god?
Well, as we dig deeper, we find that some believe Thoth was an individual that actually existed known as Thoth the Atlantean, a sage and ruler who was from the lost city of Atlantis.
