From the publisher
Hysteria 51 is your offbeat weekly podcast destination for all things weird and wonderful! We navigate the cosmic highways of UFOs, the alien-infested landscapes, and the enigmatic frontiers of the paranormal. With your hosts, Brent Hand and David Flora, alongside our cantankerous tin man, Conspiracy Bot (with a not-so-subtle desire to rule the world, doubling as our chief inquisitor into the unknown), we delve into unique mysteries, the inexplicable, and the downright unusual. Each week, we explore a fresh topic, making one thing crystal clear... the truth is out there, but you won’t find it here.

EKevin Crispin from the Behind Beautiful Things Podcast fills in for Brent this week, and the universe rewards him with two gloriously broken news stories. First up, a bizarre and unsettling case involving prescription meds and behavior so reckless it sounds made up. Then it’s off to the Bahamas, where sharks have apparently been sampling the full human experience: cocaine, caffeine, and painkillers. Modern life is poison, the ocean is on drugs, and somehow this is still a comedy podcast!Links & Resources📌Medical Gamble📌Shark PartyFollow Kevin and Behind Beautiful Thingshttps://www.sadtimespodcast.com/Email us your favorite WEIRD news stories:[email protected] the ShowGet exclusive content & perks as well as an ad and sponsor free experience at https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 from just $1ShopBe the Best Dressed at your Cult Meeting!https://www.teepublic.com/stores/hysteria51?ref_id=9022See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

S20 Ep 484Dead Classroom, Live Cryptid: OU Remains and the Cannock Chase Pigman | 484
EBrent’s out this week, so we’ve summoned Kevin Crispin (Behind Beautiful Things Podcast) to the mic like a substitute teacher who immediately rolls in a TV cart labeled “EXTREMELY CURSED VHS.” And thanks to listener scouts James Polk and Lex Lake, we’ve got two fresh servings of “what in the absolute haunted ham sandwich” weird news.First stop: the University of Oklahoma, where a construction project hits an unexpected speed bump… made of human remains. 😬 Officials say the bones appear to be century-old cadavers likely used for educational purposes back in the early 1900s, which is both historically fascinating and also a sentence that makes your skin try to uninstall itself. We dig into the eerie archaeology, the academic backstory, and the unsettling vibes of finding yesterday’s lesson plan under today’s foundation.Then we hop across the pond to Britain’s paranormal buffet line, Cannock Chase, where Bigfoot stories apparently weren’t enough, so the universe hit “add DLC” and dropped a terrifying seven-foot ‘Pigman’ into the woods. Picture a man-shaped problem with a pig head and the confidence of something that knows you can’t run without wheezing. We break down the alleged sightings, the “evidence,” the expert takes, and the important scientific question: if it’s seven feet tall, does it snort in iambic pentameter?It’s true crime-adjacent history, cryptid chaos, and listener-powered nonsense the way nature (and your algorithm) intended. Strap in, Hysteria Nation: this episode has bones, boars, and bad decisions.
