Hysteria 51

Three quarters of the United States’ public water supplies and supplies of at least 24 other countries are artificially fluoridated. Meaning, fluoride is added to the drinking water to pass it along to the population. Ostensibly this is being done to strengthen our teeth (you paid attention in health class, right?) BUT, there are some that believe there is a much more sinister plan behind the synthetic shenanigans. Is this simply a harmless additive that we should thank the government for, or is there something much more sinister behind the additive? Are they saving us dentist appointments or turning us into witless lemmings as to allow THEM to do as they please? We grab our water bottles and talk fluoridation this week. Plus, British Announcer guy pops in unannounced (not surprising), Conspiracy Bot isn’t happy to seem him (also not surprising), and the Brit has an unhealthy interest in Kyle (a bit more surprising). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t drink any liquids with unknown foreign substances in them (that we didn’t add) – Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVBooksThe Fluoride Deception | Christopher BrysonThe Case against Fluoride: How Hazardous Waste Ended Up in Our Drinking Water and the Bad Science and Powerful Politics That Keep It There | Paul Connett / James Beck / H.

The internet is full of mysteries. Most of them are driven by either a lack of information or a gigantic leap in logic. But then there’s some, some that can’t be explained away by ignorance. Some that can’t be ignored by logic. Case in point, the mystery of the Lake City Quiet Pills. What begins, at cursory glance, with the death of an aging veteran with a penchant for inappropriate photos of young women – quickly devolves into what could be a world-wide network of mercenaries and assassins. Was there a secret group of top level mercs-for-hire executing deadly missions all across the world – all being puppet mastered by a redditor named Religion of Peace? Or is this yet another case of the uninformed leading the ignorant into the mobius strip of phony internet hoaxes? That’s the Lake City Quiet Pills and it’s this week. Plus, the fellas talk the Oscars (not really, but unlike the Oscars – Rambo Last Blood makes an appearance here). Kyle seems a little off (well, more than usual). And Conspiracy Bot gets pretty graphic (you’ll see). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never used our website to assassinate ANYONE (but we can’t speak for the robot) – Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVVideosBarely Sociable - https://bit.ly/2Gs9ujkREDDIT MYSTERY: Lake City Quiet Pills - https://bit.ly/2GxZUv6Lake City Quiet Pills pt. 2 - SOLVED? - https://bit.ly/2O6Cn94Mahmoud Al Mabhouh's Assassination FULL 27 Min - https://bit.ly/37BZsIdWebsitesSOFREP - https://bit.ly/38EbDV8News Blender - https://bit.ly/2U5jGWQKnow Your Meme - https://bit.ly/38OyInUReligion of Pease Death Post - https://bit.ly/2GugAUeMahmoud al-Mabhouh - https://bit.ly/2RV7y89r/LakeCityQuietPills - https://bit.ly/2TZJeVvr/UnresolvedMysteries- https://bit.ly/2RVyEw6Reddit User Religion of Peace - https://bit.ly/2Uav7NfReddit User 2-6 - https://bit.ly/36F4suBReddit - LCQP Hidden Things - https://bit.ly/36COQrgCVLT Nation - https://bit.ly/2vmpUHxFark - https://bit.ly/2Gya8MiCircleID - https://bit.ly/2GwiVOQStories, Myths and Legends - https://w.tt/38JPtAPDirge Archive - https://bit.ly/36yb6CDLake City Army Ammunition Plant - https://bit.ly/36zqfDNWired – https://bit.ly/3142kel Intro MusicAnxiety – Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support the ShowGet exclusive content & perks as well as an ad and sponsor free experience at https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 from just $1Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago. He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow. Most people look at him with terror and with fear. But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear. He could preach the Bible like a preacher, full of ecstasy and fire. But he also was the kind of teacher women would desire.OK – that doesn’t have a ton to do with the actual Rasputin, but man it’s a fun 1978 Euro disco hit single by the Germany-based pop band Boney M. That’s where we start week 2 of our exploration of Rasputin. And while his eyes might not have actually been aflame, his supernatural reputation continues to precede him. Was he really a mystic healer? Did he actually eat enough cyanide to kill a small town without the slightest effect? How many bullets can you put into a “mad monk” before he goes down? We stay in Russia this week as we explore the death and legacy of everyone’s favorite miscreant – Ra-Ra-Rasputin. Plus, Conspiracy Bot admits a penchant for crocheting (we don’t know), Brent spends a little too much time researching…lil Rasputin (again, no idea), and John drops a Bonya and Kuzmich reference (we give up). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always get its hosts back, but when we do – we aren’t sure they were better than the replacements - Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVBooksRasputin: Faith, Power, and the Twilight of the Romanovs | Douglas SmithRasputin: A Short Life | Frances WelchThe Big Black Book of Government Conspiracies | Andrè RavenSkül VenåsVideosSimple History - https://youtu.be/JXdbseRz0lcCloud Biography - https://youtu.be/ev5dNfRncFoRasputin - https://imdb.to/2SAJ5qLRa Ra Rasputin - https://youtu.be/aiSdTQ9DW9gWebsitesGrigori Rasputin - https://bit.ly/2SDuB9wPierre Gilliard - https://bit.ly/30t3akPLA Times - https://lat.ms/2MTHOaPInternational Encyclopedia of WWI - https://bit.ly/2Q4kIQuTsar - https://bit.ly/2F9kfWRHistory - https://bit.ly/2ZDJ46PKhodynka Tragedy - https://bit.ly/2MF29AnAlpha History - https://bit.ly/39mq3dvTsar Nicholas II - https://bit.ly/2EZPdAZRa Ra Rasputin lyrics - https://bit.ly/2toua97TIME - https://bit.ly/367MykzThe Awl - https://bit.ly/37o7u7bWebsters Dictionary - https://bit.ly/2ZzgALpAlexander Palace - https://bit.ly/363FSmPLocal Life –https://bit.ly/2MFAH5CKhioniya Guseva –https://bit.ly/3aMhMAwSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Grigori Rasputin was one of the vilest, yet powerful villains in history. He was a giant both metaphorically and literally. He controlled magical powers of the dark arts, likely supplied by the devil. He was so powerful that after being poisoned, shot, stabbed, shot again, beaten, and thrown into a river – he was not yet dead.Or….Grigori Rasputin was a short, drunk womanizer that constantly stunk. Yet somehow, he wormed his way into the royal court of Nicholas the 2nd, the last Czar of Russia. Any “magic” or paranormal ability he showed was a mixture of good old-fashioned quackery and psycho somatic results – amplified by legend and time.Which is true? Could both be legitimate accounts of one of the most notorious names in Russian history. We grab our ruler and head to 19th Century Russia to find out this week. Plus, Brent mistakes early 20th century Russian literature for Star Trek (who hasn’t?), Conspiracy Bot compares childhood mortality rates in 19th Century Russia to a Meatloaf song (who hasn’t), and the fellas get sick on Aldebaran whiskey for national “Ditch Your New Year’s Resolutions Day” (again, who hasn’t?). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always talk late 19th century Russian historical figures, but when we do you better believe they have their own theme song - Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVBooksRasputin: Faith, Power, and the Twilight of the Romanovs | Douglas SmithRasputin: A Short Life | Frances WelchThe Big Black Book of Government Conspiracies | Andrè RavenSkül VenåsVideosSimple History - https://youtu.be/JXdbseRz0lcCloud Biography - https://youtu.be/ev5dNfRncFoRasputin - https://imdb.to/2SAJ5qLRa Ra Rasputin - https://youtu.be/aiSdTQ9DW9gWebsitesGrigori Rasputin - https://bit.ly/2SDuB9wPierre Gilliard - https://bit.ly/30t3akPLA Times - https://lat.ms/2MTHOaPInternational Encyclopedia of WWI - https://bit.ly/2Q4kIQuTsar - https://bit.ly/2F9kfWRHistory - https://bit.ly/2ZDJ46PKhodynka Tragedy - https://bit.ly/2MF29AnAlpha History - https://bit.ly/39mq3dvTsar Nicholas II - https://bit.ly/2EZPdAZRa Ra Rasputin lyrics - https://bit.ly/2toua97TIME - https://bit.ly/367MykzThe Awl - https://bit.ly/37o7u7bWebsters Dictionary - https://bit.ly/2ZzgALpAlexander Palace –https://bit.ly/363FSmPIntro MusicSerpentine Trek – Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So often on shows like this we talk about a cryptid that might not even have ever BEEN. Their mere existence; conjecture – their birth; legend. BUT, this case is a bit different. The Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger was a real, honest-to-goodness, Linnaean classified animal! No conjecture here. There are stuffed versions of these bad boys in museums across the world! But, what happened to them? Did this missing marsupial truly go extinct, or did they recede into the shadows to become the subject of folktale and lore fueled by real sightings? We grab our boxing gloves and go on a walkabout in search of Tassie this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot decides he’s going to get professorial (he fails), Alexa is getting jealous of Kyle (we don’t know why either), and the fellas debate the virtues of Wombats vs Tasmanian Devils (it’s a big day for marsupials). All of that and more on the podcast that has never successfully driven a species to extinction, but it won’t keep our robot from trying – Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant – Raymond Walden IVBooksThe Last Tasmanian Tiger: The History and Extinction of the Thylacine | Robert PaddleTasmanian Tiger: The Tragic Tale of How the World Lost Its Most Mysterious Predator | David OwenVideosThe Thylacine – https://bit.ly/39YS1N1Tasmanian Tiger Back From The Dead!? 5 Weird Animal Facts – https://bit.ly/36CMWYxRen’s Most Classic Insults! – https://bit.ly/2QEmng3BRT Video Final – https://youtu.be/K5LQd-0EqocWebsitesMerriam Webster – https://bit.ly/36J74brCryptid Wiki – https://bit.ly/307rDvICNN – https://cnn.it/3a0iF7UThe Guardian – https://bit.ly/2QFitDGAll That’s Interesting – https://bit.ly/2QHnjjSAll That’s Interesting – https://bit.ly/2Ne8lPXNat Geo – https://bit.ly/389wmQxWhere Light Meets Dark – https://bit.ly/35OnHRNGizmodo – https://bit.ly/35NnWg4Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“He slimed me”. This quote from the venerable parapsychologist Dr Peter Venkman was likely your introduction to the phenomenon known as ectoplasm. But Slimer and the Ghostbusters weren’t the first folks to encounter the goo. Ectoplasm has been reported and photographed for over a century. Is this paranormal plasma truly a physical manifestation of the spirit world or simply another hoax perpetuated by fools and phonies? We grab our Ecto Coolers and dive into a warm pool of Ectoplasm this week. Plus a member of the show makes their triumphant return (oh and John’s back too), bad jokes are made about being slimed (Brent is still here), and Conspiracy Bot screws up the very small amount of research he was supposed to do (stay gold, Ponyboy). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always have its hosts go on sabbatical, but when we do it’s for a good reason (cheese muffins) - Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVVideosGhostbusters - https://imdb.to/387AjWL , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng0olzfFzogEctoplasm / Paranormal Kativity - https://youtu.be/mImZEPnV_C0Haunting in Connecticut - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgYmK3cDFq8Smirnoff on Carson - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pEApsuaa1oWebsitesDictionary.com - https://bit.ly/2P8jBgZEctoplasm - https://bit.ly/33HMRjXGustav Geley - https://bit.ly/2YezjLVCharles Richet - https://bit.ly/2DEfuEeHow Stuff Works - https://bit.ly/2r1jPPfAmerican Hauntings - https://bit.ly/2ONwmyFThe Arthur Conan Doyle Encyclopedia - https://bit.ly/2LlGE6ZCabinet Magazine - https://bit.ly/2rQFJVnThoughtCo - https://bit.ly/2OM0zOASupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

CBot wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas.... But he is lazy.... So he decided to just re-upload our Krampus Episode to make your festivities even jollier. Enjoy!!It’s the most wonderful time of the year and you know what that means. Stockings, snowmen, hot chocolate, nativity scenes, gingerbread men, horned goat half demons that will drag children to hell. That’s right, to go right along with Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick, there’s a more sinister Christmas character lurking beneath the shadows. Krampus – the Christmas Demon! Santa might bring gifts for good little girls and boys – Krampus doesn’t. The hairy beast hits bad kids with sticks and sometimes even throws them in his sack to take back to hell. This week we fire up the Hysteria Sleigh and explore the legend. Plus, are non-Christmas Christmas movies actually Christmas movies (trust us, it’ll make sense)? Conspiracy Bot does his best Clark Griswold. And the fellas exchange Christmas gifts (just be glad they didn’t buy for you). So throw another yule log on the fire, grab a glass of eggnog and cozy up for one hell of a Christmas tradition as we celebrate the holidays the only way we know how on the podcast that doesn’t always do a holiday episode, but when it does…does it right – Hysteria 51.Find More Great PodcastsForthHand Media - http://forthhand.com/shows/Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s back into the world of cults this week as we take on Waco part Deux, the return of the Vernon Wayne Howell aka David Koresh,the septuagenarian buggering wannabe rock-star turned sinful messiah. We are focusing on the siege that ended in the death of 76 people, including several children. Was it mishandled? Who is to blame? What happened to the survivors?

How did a septuagenarian buggering wannabe rock-star suffering from dyslexia go from handyman to cult leader, culminating in the death of 80 people? We try to answer that very question this week (and not because Cbot is looking for tips). Plus, Kevin Crispin returns to the lower 4th, J.T.R. Brown makes his debut on H51 to help us wrap our heads around the mental health (or lack thereof) of cult leaders, and CBot regales us with his love for the year 1993.

Ever have a story you just can’t seem to wrap your head around? For me it’s TTSA, and Robert Bigelow. Luckily, I called in the Dr. for a 2nd opinion. This week Dr. Chris Cogswell returns to the lower 4th Dimension to talk Remote Viewing, Hal Puthoff, Scientology, Mentalists, TTSA, Robert Bigelow, Politics of Science, Jeffrey Epstein, NIDS, Harry Reid, Richard Doty, Skinwalker Ranch, Tom Delonge, and on and on… I got dizzy just typing that out!

Goforth calls in from ... umm... vacation... to give us an update on some awesome changes coming to the show for 2020. More research, more H51 adventures, and what the heck happened to KYLE?!?!?!

From the first contact in 1942, a series of diplomatic visits to discuss matters of mutual concern were planned. Under the treaty 23/04, these meetings would take place in secrecy, a limited number of special agents would escort visitors and they would only meet high ranking officers… or at least that is what a series of videos posted to YouTube in 2011 by ivan0135 tells us. The videos that introduced us to Skinny Bob, alien sensation! Was Ivan a man in the know drip feeding us disclosure? A KGB plant testing our gullibility? Or is it all a poorly done hoax and some thrown together CGI? We tackle that this week with the help of Rob Kristofferson from Our Strange Skies Podcast. Also, Cbot get’s his inspirational quotes from a surprising source (Celebrity rants), Goforth is still out (Bangkok has him now), and Brent ponders Remote viewing classes (fingers crossed he tales them).

Look, up in the sky… It’s a Bird… It’s a plane… It’s a 13,000-year-old alien probe sent to keep an eye on us! Those that believe the Black Knight Satellite is real say it is just that, and the story has all the best players- Nikola Tesla, Astronauts, Reptilians, Ancient Aztecs, the USSR, Jacques Vallée, even the Illuminati! Does it exist? Where did it come from? Did Conspiracy Bot wipe out Mars? Those are the questions we tackle this week with the help of Tach Van Sickle of A Very Brady Podcast.

Never judge a book by is cover, judge it by the bumps on its head! Or so Franz Joseph Gall would have had you believe when he developed Phrenology in the 1700’s. That’s right, it’s pseudoscience week this week as Kevin Crispin stops by to help us take a peek at Phrenology and how it was used for racism, sexism, classism, and all sorts of other crappy isms. Plus, Cbot claims he collects skulls (he might), Kevin loses sleep over a mole (those boarders do look irregular), and Brent claims men at work is the greatest movie of all time (it is).

The death of your child has to be one of the worst things a parent ever has to face. Now imagine everyone blames you, you go to prison for it, and the event becomes the butt of a world wide joke. FUN! Yeah, probably not, but that is what happened with the death of Azaria Chamberlain, the story that created the phrase “Dingo Ate My Baby”. This week Brent heads back down under to try and get to the bottom of this story with the help of Mr. David Flora of Blurry Photos (they probably fail), Cbot tries his hand at poetry (he definitely fails), and Vegemite makes an appearance (it fails David’s taste test).

This week Brent takes over host duties as John is on assignment in… Delaware… But have no fear, David Flora of Blurry Photos Podcast steps up and channels his inner Goforth. Plus CBot throws his hat into the hosting ring(don’t worry, we won’t let him), David talks about his Hypnotic Regressions sessions (He may or may not have been Joan of arc in a former life), and we sit down with the creators of the Documentary Extraordinary: The Seeding to talk Alien-Human Hybrids!! All that and more on the podcast that asks if someone is a human / alien hybrid – aren’t they technically a GMO? – Hysteria 51Extraordinary: The SeedingAbductions. Reproduction experiments. Memories of seeing children off-planet. The idea of humans participating in an alien hybrid program sounds absurd until you talk to people who have experienced it. Thousands of women and men around the world have had reproductive experiments carried out against their will. The most harrowing? Unexplained pregnancies that terminate without explanation. In many cases, the memories of what happened remain suppressed and fragmented, leaving experiencers confused, depressed and with a profound sense of loss. In others, the memories are visceral and emotionally disturbing. Thanks to increased public acceptance and regression therapy, more and more people are coming forward with stories of abductions and strange fertilization procedures that occur during their frightening experiences. Are aliens involved in a complex hybridization project where human females are used as vessels to carry hybrid fetuses and human males have their sperm harvested until they’re ready to be transferred “elsewhere?” And if so, to what end? “Extraordinary: The Seeding” is a riveting documentary that tells these stories through one-on-one interviews with abductees-brave individuals willing to share intensely personal and emotional stories with the rest of the world. Through analysis with global ufology experts, the film also explores hybridization, why it’s happening and what the impact on humanity is and will be. The information presented is intended to educate, entertain and encourage audiences to ask one simple question: What if this is all true?Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant – Raymond Walden IVVideosExtraordinary: The Seeding – https://imdb.to/2LPS2IOWebsitesJ3 Films – http://www.j3films.com/Doc Site – https://www.extraordinarytheseeding.com/Mayo Clinic – https://mayocl.in/2olrjuNUS National Library of Medicine – https://bit.ly/31TjFX1University of Virginia – https://at.virginia.edu/337oJYcLive Science – https://bit.ly/2uKug9LLive Science – https://bit.ly/2FFU2BXBlurry Photos – http://www.blurryphotos.orgQuiz Quiz Bang Bang – http://www.quizbangpod.comSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We’ve all been there – you’re on the job and something goes wonky with your welding gun. Next thing you know you’re telepathic and can not only read the thoughts of your co-workers, but also an evil race of robots living underground. You know, that old yarn. Well, it also happened to Richard Shaver and afterwards he sent his account of living with them to a magazine. When the magazine’s publisher received it, he did the logical thing: re-wrote it to be 3 times longer and published it. And if this sounds wild, that’s just the tip of the stalactite. This week we grab our ray guns and pick axes as we go in search of The Shaver Mystery. Plus, Conspiracy Bot thinks you can podcast through a ham radio (actually might improve this show), he also thinks he smells burnt toast (weird for a robot with a toaster for a head), and the fellas turn a fake language into a treatment for irregularity (I’d love to tell you this makes more sense when you listen, but I don’t want to lie).

We’re back in the cryptid cornucopia this week with Mongolian Death Worms. We know, we know….they sound cuddly, but we wouldn’t suggest snuggling up. These enormous worm-like creatures allegedly live in the Gobi desert and snack on locals for sport. They spit acid, shoot electricity, and will kill a man by a mere touch (yeah, we’re surprised it isn’t Australian too). But are Mongolian Death Worms the surreptitious stalkers from legend, or are they merely a campfire tale passed down through generations? We grab the spice, call Kevin Bacon, and escape the Great Pit of Carkoon this week as we investigate. Plus, Kyle seems to be MIA (at least its quieter), Conspiracy Bot predicts Brent’s demise (is it a prediction if you cause it?), and the fellas discuss the weird stuff they did with bugs as a kid (magnifying glasses anyone?). All of that and more on the podcast that wonders, if you cut a Mongolian Death Worm in half do you get two Mongolian Death Worms?

Elementary school is such a fun experience. How could you not love the art projects, lunchtime with your friends, recess, UFO sightings…. Well, that last one is specific to a small suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (also colloquially known as Westall). The Westall UFO Incident took place on April 6th, 1966, when over 200 students and faculty in the area reportedly observed multiple UFOs defying physics and toying with other, more terrestrial aircraft. This was followed by the appearance of a mysterious military type unit with designs on covering the whole thing up. What really happened in Westall? Who were the mysterious men telling locals to keep their mouths shut? Do windsocks react with swamp-gas? We head back to the Land Down Under this week and investigate. Plus, British Announcer Guy is back and has a bone to pick with Conspiracy Bot (this might not end well), the fellas try to calm things down with a negotiation of sorts (also not likely to end well), and even Kyle gets involved (definitely will not end well).

If the U.S. were to have a facility to exclusively study the deadliest animal pathogens in the world. Where do you think they would put it? Some remote outpost in the middle of nowhere? Thousands of feet underground? An island just off the coast of New York? If you took door number 3 you’re our winner…of foot and mouth disease! Plum Island, or the Plum Island Animal Disease Center is just off the coast of Long Island and studies some of the worst known animal diseases out there. But is that all they study? Is it really as safe as they say? Are there secret Nazi scientists are working on some of the most gruesome and devilish bio-weapons right under our noses? We slip into our bio-hazard suits and research it this week. Plus, the robots are on everyone’s last nerve (cheese muffins), a certain British announcer makes his way to the Lower Fourth (no, we still don’t really understand him), and Brent gives everyone a nautical lesson on WW2 era submarines (let’s just say you shouldn’t site him as a research source).

The majesty of the Great Pyramid of Giza is unrivaled. Its masterful design, its mind-boggling construction, the fact that’s its just an ancient, enormous water pump in the middle of the desert. Ummm, well, that’s the opinion of more than one expert and that of our guest this week – Steve Meyers. Steven has been studying the Great Pyramid for decades and contends its design is that of a functioning water pump to quench the thirst of the ancient Egyptians (or whoever) that built them. So, this week we grab our advanced degrees in hydraulic engineering and go in search of Giza. Plus, a reference to the Large Hadron Collider and its similarity to a certain calendar makes its way back to the show (it was Conspiracy Bot ), the fellas discuss their favorite “out of place artifact” (it’s not Conspiracy Bot), and both robots seem a little glitchier than normal (mostly just Conspiracy Bot).

Yetis are like Jello – there’s always room for more. This week we dive even deeper into the fury beasts. What do the locals think? Where can you find the scalp? What’s the difference between a Sherpa and a sherpa (there is one). And finally, once and for all, are they real and what are they? So, once again, we pack up our snow gear and head into the fray. Plus, Conspiracy Bot surprises everyone and does some work (something’s fishy with that). Kyle says he did his work, but didn’t (nothing fishy there). And we welcome back Erik Severinghaus to give a bit more color to the Himalayas (Pecker is back too and he’s always fishy).

Bigfoot seems to be getting all of the press these days, but what about his O.G. cousin from the far north? The Abominable Snowman or Yeti has appeared in legend, folklore, and adventurer’s stories for years...but what is it? Are we dealing with a, yet unidentified, specimen of ape or bear? Perhaps a hominid cousin we’re not yet aware of? A true snow monster? This week we strap on our crampons and go in search of Yeti. Plus, we learn the origin of C-BOT’S pet, Kyle’s, CPU (it involves a Tamagotchi). Pecker is somehow back in the lower 4th (it probably also involves a Tamagotchi). And we welcome in first timer, Erik Severinghaus, who claims Hysteria 51 is the sole reason he was able to summit Everest (oxygen deprivation is a helluva drug).

Things are getting strange in the lower 4th this week as we interview author Eric Bickernicks about his fictional (?) UFO romp, High Strangeness. Are there really spandex clad, cult members looking to “amalgamate” with aliens? Have UFOs landed in Cape Cod? Is there a better name for a law firm than Wakeman and Frasier? We ask the tough questions this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot learns the negative side of building your own robot (we know this well). Kyle makes his triumphant return and reads some reviews of the show (it doesn’t go well). Also, David Flora joins in on the fun (well…) AND Majungus hits us with another awesome song (Intergalactic Invasion).

What do you get when you combine a joke social media event with the zeitgeisty topic of UFOs? 3+ MILLION people interested in attending an impromptu party/raid of a government installation. We know, a lot to unpack here. Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us is a Facebook event created by a meme posting page on a lark – hoping to get a handful of followers. Instead it’s become an internet phenomenon covered by everyone from NBC to the New York Times to Hysteria 51 (likely the most important of the bunch). Is the joke event actually happening? If so, are there any aliens to see? If anyone tried to enter Area 51 what lethal and non-lethal methods would the military use to turn them around? What’s a Naruto run? We try to bring some clarity to the chaos this week (but likely just confuse the situation further). Plus, Conspiracy Bot builds a robot to help with his light work (yes, his name is Kyle). We learn that Bot Juice is somehow a hit (apparently it’s the “tang that will make you sang” that does it). And David Flora from the Blurry Photos podcast makes his return to the Lower 4th to add to the confusion. All of that and more on the podcast that won’t be raiding Area 51, we played that game enough in the 90s - Hysteria 51.

On an early June morning in 1908 an explosion leveled over 770 square miles of remote Siberian forest. Effects of the event were witnessed as far away as London. The blast was said to be over 1,000 times larger than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Yet, there were no known casualties (minus a whole lot of reindeer), leading some to believe there was an intelligence behind the blast. What kind of force could have unleashed a blast of that magnitude? Was it simply a huge meteor? Could extra terrestrials be responsible? Maybe Nikola Tesla finally got his “death ray” right? We grab a bottle of vodka and investigate the curious case of the Tunguska Event this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot has a new product for sale (yes this one will likely kill you too), Brent attempts to play meteorologist (he’ll stick to podcasting), and Joe Peck is back on the show against our better judgement (he’s not welcome back).

Most people are familiar with the horrors the Nazis visited upon their victims in WW2, but what most aren’t familiar with are some equally terrifying and grotesque experiments and testing on the part of the Japanese. At the heart of this was General Shirō Ishii and his Unit 731. Unit 731 was a covert biological and chemical warfare research unit of the Imperial Japanese Army that undertook lethal human experimentation. And we don’t just mean take 2 of these and call us in the morning…if you’re alive. We’re talking about the kind of stuff that would make the devil blush. Freezing human limbs…while still attached to their very live owners. Or even worse, vivisections...you know where they dissect someone…who is still alive! Yeah, it’s a real chuckle fest this week as we explore Unit 731. Plus, we learn there’s an ideology to Conspiracy Bot’s insanity (he says he’s a giver), John gives us a dissertation on war treaties (sometimes Gofo’s just gonna Gofo), and Joe Peck makes a return visit to the lower 4th (as if he ever really left).

You know the old saying, “nothing can ruin your day like spontaneously catching on fire”? We don’t either, but if it isn’t a quote it should be because…ouch. Reports of Spontaneous Human Combustion span history and continents. While situations and backstories change, many constants can be found between the cases. Is it possible that a rare set of circumstances could present itself where a human being would spontaneously catch afire? Could it be something more sinister like purposeful fires set via Pyrokinesis or something equally as morbid…big tobacco? We throw on our firefighter gear and go searching this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot is triggered and it’s because of your morning bagel (I guess everyone has their thing), the fellas talk Fire Marshall Bill (because how could they not), and Ryan Cassell makes his triumphant return to the Lower 4th (and is promptly schooled in the art of Jim Carrey – you’ll see). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never caught fire spontaneously, but we think we saw it happen once at a rave in college - Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVBooksABLAZE!

Ancient alien historians theorize this will be an extra out-there episode of Hysteria 51. This week we’re “live” (not really a thing in podcasts I guess) from AlienCon 2019 in Los Angeles. See, they call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels"; but I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow it as there are some nice folks there. Course I ain't never been to London, and I ain't never seen France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her undies, so the feller says. But I'll tell you what - after seeing Los Angeles…wait I’m getting of track here – back to this week’s show! Did someone say Pumapunku? Maybe not, but David Childress joins us. While we’re at it we catch up with Mike Bara and wind up talking Tesla. Then we top this delicious treat with a dollop of Dr Chris Cogswell as he explains how science can help us understand aliens (silly, we know). All of that and more on the podcast that, well, it's the podcast for its time and place. It fits right in there. And that's Hysteria 51.

Ever go a concert and hear an annoying ring or hum in your ears afterward? Now imagine you didn’t go to the concert, but still hear it. Where’s it coming from? Why is it worse inside my house? HOW CAN I STOP IT?!? This is the situation for 1000s of citizens across the globe that experience The Hum. It’s only in specific cities (Taos, Windsor, etc) and only certain citizens can hear it (generally 2-4%) of the population. What’s causing it? Why are some people more susceptible to than others? How do you actually pronounce Tinnitus? We put on our headphones and ask the tough questions this week about THE HUM. Plus, the fellas HUM the Crash Test Dummies for your listening pleasure (c’mon, you saw that coming), Assistant Ray becomes Producer Ray for the day (we’re unsure of the results), and we give you an update from AlienCon (spoiler – no Giorgio).

What do you do when you find a ship adrift at sea? The obvious answer is to make sure it doesn’t explode. Unfortunately the folks that came upon the S. S. Ourang Medan didn’t heed our clarion call from the future. Instead they hopped aboard and investigated this ghost ship. They came aboard to find the entirely to the crew dead. When the investigating captain finally decided to tie ‘er up and toe ‘er back…that’s then the suspect ghost ship decided to explode and sink. What was actually aboard? What does cyanide taste like? This week we throw on our life preservers and find out. Plus, Brent makes a ”Jon Boat” joke (we’re sorry), we decide red shirts likely do need to be the losers of the away team (call us Riker), and the fellas get some help from an unlikely place…Kevin Crispin!

Is your child a little unusual? Do they possess supernatural traits? How about super abilities? If you answered yes to some or all of these – chances are you have an indigo child! Indigo children, identified by their trademark indigo aura and at least one parent who identifies as “gypsy” (we might have made that part up), are potentially the next stage of human evolution. OR, the label could just be an attempt to ignore a much larger elephant in the room (I wonder what color aura elephants have). Either way we put on our indigo colored glasses and get to the bottom of it this week. Plus, we learn of Brent’s extreme disdain for the Indigo Girls, the fellas discuss what super power we would have given our 10 year-old selves, and we might just make it through an episode without singing (tune in to find out).

“Carol Anne! Stop spitting green pea soup, the call is coming from inside the house!” Wait, we might be conflating a few things there, but you get the idea…there are (allegedly) a LOT of potential hauntings out there. How is one to keep them all straight?!? Well, thanks to your friendly, neighborhood Hysteria 51 – you don’t have to…we’ll do the hard work for you (stop us when we start to sound like the Sham Wow guy). This week we explore the various types of ghouls, ghosts, spirits, and demons that are inhabiting your granny’s pantry (we won’t ask). Plus, we force Conspiracy Bot into a hard reboot (in the name of science), we learn C-Bot only catches fat cats (and no that isn’t a metaphor), and Goforth goes off about the movie Noah (we don’t know either).

Stanton Friedman was a nuclear physicist and professional UFOlogist. But he was more than that...he was involved in some of the largest stories and controversies in UFOlogy. We wouldn’t have the story of Roswell or the Majestic 12 without him. And while he certainly was controversial, no one can argue the indelible impact he had on UFOlogy and the world. This week we look at the life and impact of Stanton T Friedman. Plus, Conspiracy Bot finds a streak of kindness (it won’t last), the fellas go dark quick (no surprise there), we learn of GorGok the Protector of All Thing Magic (he lives in the mountains), and we’re all treated to a rousing rendition of Banditos (and no- Roger Clyne nor the Refreshments are on the show).

We are haunted by UFOs. They drift in and out of our culture in movies and on television, on billboards and in books. They are everywhere. However, for one small community, they are much more than the fodder of science fiction storytelling - they alter the entire fabric of reality. Enter The UFO People. Part narrative journey and part cultural study, The UFO People is a challenge to the UFO subculture and the broader public to recognize that UFOs, and the people who study them, challenge societal norms, institutions, and the many ideologies we assume to be true. This week we interview the author of The UFO People – MJ Banias. Plus, Conspiracy Bot finds a mentor in Napoleon, takes a trip to Fermilab, and makes John disappear (busy week). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never written a book about UFOs, but we’ve certainly had the book thrown at us – Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVBooksTHE UFO People: A Curious Culture| MJ BaniasVideosMJ Banias - https://bit.ly/2VrbHW2WebsitesMJ Banias - http://mjbanias.com/Terra Obscura - https://www.terraobscura.net/VICE - https://www.vice.com/en_us/contributor/mj-baniasSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ah, the majesty of Yellowstone National Park. Hot springs, gushing geysers, majestic wildlife, a supervolcano that could kill us all. That’s right, under all of the beauty and wonder is Yellowstone’s supervolcano that by some estimates is overdue to blow. What would happen if the volcano did pop? Mass extinctions? Check. Potentially the end of the U.S. as we know it? Check. A global famine accompanied by a decade long winter? Check. Could this actually be a planet killer – ending life as we know it on the planet? Maybe not the entire planet, but it could certainly change the course of humanity. So, will it go off soon? Is there anything we can do about it? And strangely enough, would there be a way to turn this whole thing into an advantage? We grab our helmets and go investigating this existential risk this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot roots for the volcano (no surprise there), John questions the scientific viability of a Chinese sci-fi movie (we don’t know why either), and the fellas explore what we could do with a mini black hole right here in the lower 4th (spoiler – they’d sell tickets).

Does every abduction involve a probing? Do all the folks that have close encounters build mashed potato mountains first? Are these things really so huge, they’re bigger than a Walmart? We ask the tough questions this week as we interview Experiencer expert and MUFON Archivist NK Kranda. Plus, Brent decides he wants a pet Yeti (no surprise there). We draw comparisons between Conspiracy Bot and Florida Man (there are many). And everyone is relieved to realize he’ll never go down there (too many bodies of water).

According to the Drake Equation there are approximately 40 bajillion habitable planets in our galaxy. Ok, the number is a little lower (and a little more specific than that), but the point remains the same...with all of these planets capable of sustaining life, why isn’t the galaxy just teeming with extra-terrestrials? Or, put more succinctly- where the heck are all the aliens? Enrico Fermi posed this question to some scientist friends at a lunch in 1950 and it’s been known as the “Fermi Paradox” ever since. We dive in this week but we don’t go exploring alone as we enlist of the help of Stuff You Should Know co-host, Josh Clark. Plus, Conspiracy Bot actually helps the show by recruiting Josh (surprising), by recruiting we actually mean kidnapping (less surprising), and yes he used poison (there it is).

Ever been to Taured this time of year? It’s fabulous!! No, you haven’t? In fact you haven’t heard of it? Well, neither had the rest of the world when in July of 1954 a man in a suit shows up at a Japanese airport claiming to not only hail from the (imminently non- existent country), but produces a legit passport. Did this man unknowingly slip into a parallel dimension? Did he time travel? Or is he and/or the story absolutely full of it? This week we report, you decide on The Man From Taured. Plus, the fellas learn why we should never let Conspiracy Bot travel to parallel dimensions (could be bad), speaking of - the guys talk about the potential return of Sliders (could be good), and Conspiracy Bot again learns he is powered by Dilithium Crystals (thankfully not true).

Imagine this: You and your crew are traversing the Atlantic aboard your merchant ship. You spot something up ahead and grab the spyglass. Is that another ship? You call to the ship announcing your presence…no response. Is there no one aboard? Where’s the crew? You board the ship and things are silent. It’s too quiet. Something isn’t sitting right about this situation. There’s a sewing machine with a baby’s dress being sewn…the hem is still mid-stitch. The log book’s last entry? 10 days ago. Where did the crew go? What would cause them to abandon ship so abruptly without any signs of duress? Did they leave the ship willingly? What happened to the Mary Celeste – we investigate this week. Plus, David Flora of Blurry Photos Podcast makes his triumphant return once again. Conspiracy Bot pivots his game plan for Bot Booze. Brent circles back around on how C-Bot is paying for it. And we all learn that poisonous, bad-tasting, and foul-smelling are table stakes for any product the robot creates.

Picture this - you’re working in a field and quite suddenly 2 children appear out of seemingly nowhere. These kids not only don’t speak a language you’ve ever heard, but they’re skin is...GREEN. This might sound like the beginning of an episode of Black Mirror, but it isn’t. It’s an alleged real-life incident from 12th century England. Who were these kids? Where did they come from? Is this the first written proof of multidimensional travel or the first written proof of a broccoli overdose? This week we jump back over the pond and look into the curious case of the Green Children from Woolpit. Plus, Conspiracy Bot gets subpoenaed for the first time (really, that's the first time?). Brent could be facing jail time for the first time (again, we're surprised). And Bot Booze could finally be coming to an end (finally!). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never met any green children, but that could be due to the restraining order (thanks C-Bot) - Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVBooksChildren from the Sky | Duncan LunanWhere Did the Green Children of Woolpit Come From? | C.C.

This week we hop BACK over the pond to merry ol’ England to tackle a most vile and sinister serial…slapper? Well – slapper, groper, fire belcher, carriage crasher, and more. This week we’re looking into the legend of Spring Heeled Jack. This mischievous prankster allegedly had metal claws, could leap over 10 ft. walls, breath blue fire, apparently loved to slap authority figures, and cause carriages to crash. But who was this British bouncer? Is this just a folk tale re-told over the years to explain away hundreds of different events, was there a person of extraordinary ability terrorizing the countryside, or were these just a series of glorified fraternity pranks? David Flora of the Blurry Photos podcast joins the fun to help us uncover the identity of Britain’s strangest urban legend. Plus, Conspiracy Bot tries to get rid of Flora (he’s protective of BRENT’S beer), the fellas all try their hands at a British accent and fail miserably (shocking), and a related ghost in Long Island sounds eerily similar to Keanu Reeves (whoa). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never terrified women by blowing fire into their face, we do it the old fashioned way, by letting them see our work ethic and bank account – Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant – Raymond Walden IVBooksThe Legend of Spring-Heeled Jack | Karl BellThe Mystery of Spring-Heeled Jack: From Victorian Legend to Steampunk Hero | John MatthewsVideosThe Mystery Of Spring Heeled Jack – https://bit.ly/2Wpxk4ZCryptids and Monsters: The Spring-Heeled Jack – https://bit.ly/2FyRO4HWebsitesWikipedia – https://bit.ly/1rPK59yAtlas Obscura – https://bit.ly/2JAEkJOHistoric UK – https://bit.ly/2JJTGNdBBC – https://bbc.in/2p6amzNMysterious Universe – https://bit.ly/2uwobvABlurry Photos – http://www.blurryphotos.org Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There’s nothing like fishing in the evening with a friend. The only sounds disturbing your peaceful respite are the gentle trickles of water, the rhythmic chirping of crickets, and the loud whirring of an alien aircraft that’s come to abduct you. OK, that last one might be unique to this story. The Pascagoula Abduction was a close encounter of the 4th kind in Mississippi in the early 70’s. Out on a fishing trip, 2 men where minding their own business when a UFO flew down and the inhabitants abducted the men. The aliens were said to have elephant-like skin and lobster-claws for hands. And while this sounds a bit far-fetched, even a polygraph was passed. They were even hypnotized to get the truth. The hypnotist’s conclusion? The fishermen “experienced an extraterrestrial phenomena”. This week we’re cooking up some mashed potatoes and diving into this close encounter. Plus, why is Conspiracy Bot hiring the Polish figure skating team (it’s a long story)? We learn Dick Cheney is actually a robot (we can’t prove this, but no one would be surprised). And Rob Kristoffersen, host of the Our Strange Skies joins us in the lower 4th to talk alien elephants. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never seen an alien elephant, all of the elephants we’ve seen were naturalized – Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant – Raymond Walden IVBooksPascagoula-The Closest Encounter: My Story – Calvin ParkerUFO Contact at Pascagoula: Charles Hickson and William MendezVideosThe Pascagoula Abductions – Hickson and Harder Interview https://youtu.be/M08gyPvEdj8Pascagoula Abduction Incident with Charles Hickson & Calvin Parker in 1973 https://youtu.be/BW3DCv4tfbkWebsitesWikipedia – https://bit.ly/2H6X7eJFox10 – https://bit.ly/2UqH3HVWGNO News – https://bit.ly/2NQpUVkOur Strange Skies – https://bit.ly/2JxpuVBMusicDeep haze by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Interstellar travel, rewriting human genetics, body hacking, limitless clean energy...is this our future? What will humanity look like in 100 years (assuming the Yellowstone Caldera doesn’t take us all out)? If technology continues to progress anywhere near the pace of the last few decades, not only will we have people on Mars, we’ll be in the middle of terraforming it. Or, will our future have a distinctly dystopian pallor? We take a look ahead this week with Ben Bowlin and Matt Frederick from the OG conspiracy podcast, Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know. Plus, could the future of humanity hinge on this very podcast? (no) Conspiracy Bot has the fix for quantum computers (defrag). And we all have some “tea, Earl Grey, hot”. All of that and more on the podcast that is hopeful for the future of humanity (poorly conceived and built robots on the other hand, we aren’t so sure) – Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant – Raymond Walden IVBooksThe Future of Humanity: Terraforming Mars, Interstellar Travel, Immortality, and Our Destiny beyond Earth | Michio KakuNational Academy of Engineering. 2014.
