Episode 197: Bizarre Horror Stories

Season 5, Episode 197,   Dec 03, 09:45 PM

Bizarre things scare us because they defy our understanding of the world, challenging the boundaries of logic and reason. When something appears grotesque, out of place, or inexplicably strange, it triggers a primal fear rooted in our survival instincts… an unease born from the unknown and the unpredictable. This fear taps into our imagination, forcing us to confront possibilities that are unsettling precisely because they feel both alien and eerily possible. The bizarre leaves us questioning reality, and it’s that uncertainty that grips us the most.
