Campfire weirdness with teeth.
Where The Weird Ones Are is a paranormal hangout with a split personality: guest conversations about hauntings, portals, cryptids, conspiracies, and strange investigations, plus scripted Friday Night Frights stories. It feels handmade and intimate, shifting from messy banter to locked-door fear fast.

Where The Weird Ones Are treats the paranormal less like a clean case file and more like a lived-in conversation. It has structure, but it rarely feels sterile. Guest episodes often arrive through long, chaotic openings before settling into stories of hauntings, spirit work, strange investigations, portals, realms, cryptids, and conspiracy-laced curiosity. The pace can be brisk and scattered. That looseness gives the show its identity. It sounds like a place where people are allowed to tell the weird thing plainly, then laugh, second-guess themselves, and keep going anyway. Nicole Chivatonni’s Mazier Homestead story captures that mode well, with an Estes Session, a shadowy figure compared to a horror-film nun, and a room that becomes too heavy to stay in. Other recent guest titles point toward portals, paranormal teams, and creature-lore territory. Then Friday Night Frights shifts the show into scripted horror. These stories like everyday settings that already feel half-haunted. A Blockbuster parking lot becomes a gateway to black-eyed children at the door. An old hospital wing carries the cruelty of people being locked away and forgotten. A casual hike turns sour once the woods go too quiet. A watcher outside the window becomes frightening because it is still, patient, and studying. The writing favors blunt fear over ornate language. Doors, knocks, porches, bad light, ringing phones, and empty trails do a lot of the work. That makes the horror feel familiar before it turns unsafe. The show also has a protective, intimate streak, with mental-health language and belonging woven into the wider weirdness. It is warm without sanding off the edge. It is spooky without pretending to be above the fun of a good scare. For PlayNext users, Where The Weird Ones Are is a good fit when polished paranormal media feels too distant and campfire weirdness sounds more alive.
Made for: For listeners who like paranormal interviews, haunted-place stories, conspiracy-adjacent weirdness, and short horror fiction with a handmade feel. It especially suits people who prefer casual, emotionally open shows over slick studio polish.
What sets it apart: The show’s split format sets it apart: rambling guest-led paranormal conversations sit beside Friday Night Frights, where ordinary places become tight little horror traps. Its charm is the combination of warmth, rough edges, and sudden dread.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A November 1997 Blockbuster run turns into a nasty, patient knock at the door.
This Friday Night Frights entry keeps its grip by staying small and local. It drops into November 1997 with cold air, fluorescent lights, VHS rental cases, and that almost empty Blockbuster lot, then follows the Mercer pair home with barely any room to breathe.

This paranormal podcast stays close to Bigfoot, UFOs, ghosts, cryptids, grief, fear, and the stories people carry. It works best when the conversation slows down and lets plain curiosity do the heavy lifting.
