Can belief leave a mark on the body?

In this episode of The Bizarre AF, we explore stigmata—the mysterious wounds said to mirror Christ’s crucifixion. From the divine visions of St. Francis of Assisi to the controversy around Padre Pio, we dive into the Catholic Church’s stance, the canonization process, and what Roman crucifixions really looked like.

We also explore modern psychology: how trauma and deep empathy can physically manifest through conditions like conversion disorder and mirror-touch synesthesia.

Is stigmata a miracle… or the body’s way of telling a sacred story?

This one’s for Virginia Giuffre — a woman who stood up against monsters, ripped the mask off the rich and powerful, and fought like hell for survivors everywhere. She built SOAR (Speak Out, Act, Reclaim) to give others a way out — and a way through.

Virginia’s voice shook the worl. She was so brave in a world stacked against her but her life came to an end much too soon in bizarrely strange circumstances and events surrounding her death. She deserved more time. We honor her fight, her fire, and the impact she still has. Rest in power, Virginia.
