A strange new purpose for a historic site.

We’re back with an Odd News story featuring quirky history, underground secrets, and a bit of comic book villainy. Plus, for our Platinum Anniversary, we have a classic comedy clip from the vault. If you love unbelievable stories and comedy gold, you’ve come to the right place.
