About the episode

Tickets to our Live Shows Here! Get ready for a joyride into the bizarre! In this episode of The Box of Oddities, we swerve down an East Texas road haunted by the ghost of… a monkey? Yep. Legend has it, this eerie stretch of asphalt is home to phantom primates and unexplained screeches in the night. Then we unbutton the strange and surprisingly political history of pants—yes, pants. From ancient legwear scandals to Victorian trouser taboos, you’ll never look at a waistband the same way again. Packed with ghost stories, roadside absurdity, and pants-related rebellion, this episode is your one-stop shop for the spooky and sartorially strange. Click play if you've ever feared a ghost monkey or questioned your slacks. ⁠Tickets to our Live Shows Here! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
