Strange Spirits is a 1979 album by the Skatt Brothers.

Casablanca supported this release with a single release in the U.S. of "Dancin' for the Man" backed with "Walk the Night." A video was also created by Polygram Records (Australia) for "Life at the Outpost" which was deemed a total misrepresentation of the Skatt Bros, as it contained none of the band members, but actors performing choreography. Nonetheless, the song was released as a single in other markets, notably in Australia where it was backed with "Midnight Companion", and reached gold record status. The KISS connections continue on this album, apart from the obvious Sean Delaney one: a KISS pinball machine features on the album's rear cover photograph.
