This week we share stories from different parts of the globe. Not just stories, but stories that we found…..well, just a little bizarre. From the beaches of Canada and Washington, to a beach in Australia, then to the horrific aftermath and the effects of the 2011 Tsunami that hit Japan, and to end the episode we’ll look into a tribe in Indonesia where the Ma’nene ritual is practiced every 3 years. What is that? Translated it is “the Ceremony of Cleaning Corpses”. Listen to find out more about these four bizarrely fascinating stories.

16 sneakers with feet still inside of them have been found washed up on the shore line of the Salish Sea. https://britishcolumbia.com/salish-sea-marine-trail-connects-vancouver-island-to-bc-mainland/

The aftermath of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan was devastating. With so much death affecting this area is it any wonder there are so many reports from people having seen spirits of the dead? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aftermath_of_the_2011_T%C5%8Dhoku_earthquake_and_tsunami

For a tribe in Indonesia, it is tradition to dig up dead family members, clean them , change their clothes, spend the day with them, then lay them to rest again. Here a family poses with the bodies of their deceased loved ones during this Ma’nene ritual. Sijori Images/Barcroft Images/Getty Images https://allthatsinteresting.com/toraja-death-ritual#21
