    Live Show Tickets! Father’s Day Bonus: The Relentless Father – The André Bamberski Story When 14-year-old Kalinka Bamberski died under mysterious circumstances in 1982 while visiting her mother and German stepfather, authorities dismissed her death as unfortunate, but natural. One person refused to believe that. Her father, André Bamberski, embarked on a 30-year odyssey of obsession, investigation, and international scandal in pursuit of the man he believed responsible: Dr. Dieter Krombach. This Father’s Day, we explore a chilling and extraordinary tale of paternal love pushed to its limits. It's a story of loss, obsession, and one man’s unwavering resolve to force justice across borders—by any means necessary. It’s not just a crime story. It’s a story about what happens when a father simply won't stop. 🕵️‍♂️ Revenge. Kidnapping. A very suspicious vitamin injection. This is The Box of Oddities. 🎙️ Listen now and hug your dad. #TrueCrimePodcast #FathersDaySpecial #BoxOfOddities #KalinkaBamberski #JusticeForKalinka #AndréBamberski #ColdCase #DarkHistory #WeirdButTrue f you would like to advertise on The Box of Oddities, contact advertising@airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    Get your tickets for The Live Show here! Beneath the stone floors of a London church, a chilling discovery sent Victorian society into a frenzy—and now you get to peek inside this hidden vault. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro unearth the grotesque 1849 mystery hidden under the Church of Holy Trinity in the Minories. Was it a forgotten crypt, or something far more disturbing? Then, buzz into the bizarre with the vulture bee: nature’s most metal insect. It doesn’t just collect nectar—it makes meat honey. Well, sort of... from rotting flesh. Sweet and savory have never sounded more unholy. Expect unexpected twists, grim curiosity, and insect behavior that might ruin lunch. It’s history, science, and the delightfully morbid all in one box. #BoxOfOddities #WeirdHistory #MeatHoney #DarkHumor #TrueWeird Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Then, things get… bluer. We explore the chilling folklore behind haint blue, the southern porch paint that allegedly sends ghosts packing faster than you can say “sweet tea séance.” Is consciousness more than brain chemistry?
