Episode 269: Bizarre Horror Stories

What terrifies us about the bizarre is not just the strangeness itself, but the way it warps reality into something unrecognizable. When the familiar bends into shapes we cannot explain, an object that shouldn’t move, a sound with no source, a figure that doesn’t belong, our minds struggle to make sense of it, leaving us stranded in uncertainty. The bizarre unsettles us because it suggests that the rules we rely on, the quiet logic of the world, can be broken at any moment… and if that’s true, then nothing is truly safe.
