Frozen Solid, Feathered Giants, and Final Words

In this episode of Freak Family Favorites, we ask the following question: What happens when a person literally freezes solid and somehow lives to tell the tale? Meet Jean Hilliard, the woman who defied science after spending six hours in subzero temperatures—completely frozen. Then, we waddle into the world of the kākāpō, the 9-pound, nocturnal, flightless parrot that’s just as bizarre as it sounds (and somehow weirder). Finally, we explore some of the most haunting and downright unsettling last words ever spoken on a deathbed. From chilling final confessions to cryptic utterances that leave more questions than answers, you won’t believe what some people say before they go. Prepare for mystery, absurdity, and just the right amount of dark humor—it’s another delightfully weird ride with The Box of Oddities! #WeirdHistory #TrueStories #ParrotFacts #FrozenMiracle #FinalWords #Podcast If you would like to advertise on The Box of Oddities, contact advertising@airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
