Sisters-in-law scientists debunk supernatural claims with humor and evidence.
Why we picked this
We picked Spooky Science Sisters because it applies actual scientific scrutiny to folklore without draining the fun out of either. Two scientists (and sisters-in-law) walk through cryptid sightings, paranormal claims, and unusual natural phenomena, tracking down primary reports and flagging where the details contradict. The show’s posture is skeptical but game: they mock the gaps in a story and then investigate the environmental factors that might explain it. The result is a feed where critical thinking and genuine enthusiasm share equal space.
We're two scientists and sisters (in-law) bringing you a podcast about the science behind all things strange and unusual, from the natural to the supernatural! So, put on your critical thinking caps and join us every other week for some creepy conversation and lots of laughter.
