    The Handprint of the Holy Soul
    Apr 17 2026
    Brittany Barbieri explores The Handprint of the Holy Soul, a supernatural case from 1859 Italy. After the nun Sister Teresa Justa died suddenly, she reportedly appeared to a fellow sister, leaving a scorched handprint on a convent door as proof of her existence in purgatory. Brittany connects this story to similar historical accounts, including those associated with Rome’s Museum of the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Drawing from her Catholic upbringing and passion for the supernatural, she encourages listeners to remain open-minded about the afterlife and the possibility that the dead may communicate through physical signs.

    Apr 3 2026
    In this episode of Get Weird, host Brittany Barbieri explores the fascinating true story of the Blue People of Kentucky—a family lineage known for blue-tinted skin caused by a rare genetic condition called methemoglobinemia. She traces the origins back to French orphan Martin Fugate, who settled in isolated Appalachian Kentucky in the 1800s, where the condition persisted for generations due to the community’s isolation. Brittany breaks down the science behind the condition, debunks common myths, and encourages listeners to seek reliable sources. Emphasizing curiosity and open-mindedness, she reminds us that many mysterious phenomena have logical scientific explanations waiting to be discovered.
