Hysteria 51

While they were busy losing the war, the Nazi’s were also failing at acquiring another type of power – supernatural. And while we know these wastes of oxygen did unequivocally lose the war…some wonder about their success in the other. Did they capture the power magick in their final hours? Creating super soldiers, conducting mind control, and reanimating the dead? Not to mention chatting with aliens and building a secret base in Antarctica. Plus, what’s the best way to kill Nazi zombies? (Call of Duty) What’s the best Indiana Jones movie? (Last Crusade) And is Crystal Skulls considered canon? (Not by us). All of that and more on the podcast that prefers our Nazis as zombies in video games – Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:BooksThe Occult Roots of Nazism | Nicholas Goodrick-ClarkeNazis and the Occult: The Dark Forces Unleashed by the Third Reich | Paul RolandBlack Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity | Nicholas Goodrick-ClarkeVideosHitler and the Occult | History ChannelNazis: The Occult Conspiracy - https://imdb.to/39px6kQHitler's Monsters: A Supernatural History of the Third Reich - https://bit.ly/37kOLZBMaria Orsic - The Goddess of the Devil: Hitler's Medium - https://bit.ly/3bH8C8WWebsitesAeon - https://bit.ly/2wbXCA4Occultism in Nazism/Wikipedia - https://bit.ly/37iORRGVölkisch Movement/Wikipedia - https://bit.ly/39uhZ9XThule Society/Wikipedia - https://bit.ly/38xfi7H|Guido von List/Wikipedia - https://bit.ly/31LMbdYVril/Wikipedia - https://bit.ly/2SHoUWmConspiracy Wiki - https://bit.ly/2SDRbNHWashington Post - https://wapo.st/2SDQ1ljCambridge University Press - https://bit.ly/2HilAfbThe Spectator - https://bit.ly/2SHStr5Crystalinks - https://bit.ly/39uNa53 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.

Remember in Ocean’s Eleven when George Clooney boarded a plane wearing a dark suit and tie and opened his brief case showing a bomb to the flight attendant and hijacked the plane? Then he demanded 200K in cash, four parachutes and food for the crew before releasing all the passengers. Classic Clooney amirite?!? Then 45 minutes after takeoff, Clooney sent the flight attendant to the cockpit while donning the parachute, tied the bank bag full of the money to himself, and jumped into the night. When the plane landed, all they found were two leftover parachutes and the tie Clooney had been wearing…our suave protagonist was never caught…classic Clooney! OK – that wasn’t actually from Ocean’s Eleven and George Clooney wasn’t involved – but it ACTUALLY DID HAPPEN! That’s the basic story behind the mysterious hijacking and disappearance of DB Cooper in the Pacific Northwest in the early 70s. Did he actually get away with the only unsolved hijacking in US History? Could he have survived the jump? Where did the money go? Is a bourbon and soda the suavest drink to order while hijacking a plane? Plus, Nicolas Cage threatens Conspiracy Bot (he didn’t like Captain Correli’s Violin), we discuss the unfortunate turn Nic’s movies have taken as of late, and also talk our favorite CAGE flicks. So, yeah, in retrospect…lots of Nic Cage.

Ever throw a great party only to have it crashed by an unexpected guest that shows up and ruins the whole thing? Eats all the guacamole, drinks all the beer, is actually an ancient alien civilization and/ or a rogue planet spiraling across the universe? You know, that ol’ chestnut. Well, that’s exactly what some people think is in our future when the (yet to be discovered) planet Nibiru comes calling later this year, or in a few hundred years, or when its (yet to be discovered) sun drags it this way. So yeah – we talk through that. Plus, is Sansa Stark a valuable member of the X-Men? Why is John singing showtunes? And the fellas figure out how to easily shut Conspiracy Bot up (hint: it’s related to John’s singing).

It’s split pea soup and spinning head week on Hysteria 51 as we take on demons and exorcisms! We take a look at some well known demonic entities from all across the world (not just Conspiracy Bot this time), dive deeper into the Catholic Church and exorcisms, and take a look at some famous demon hunters throughout history (and no that isn’t a World of Warcraft reference). Plus, is Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emanuel really the Mothman? Was Conspiracy Bot really possessed by Jeff Bezos? And can you win the spiritual battle for your soul by taking more baths?

Had enough flat earth yet? Us either. This week we continue our flat earth roundtable with 2 flat earth experts (feels like a weird word to use there, but hey they know their argument), guys from NASA and SpaceX, and an astrophysicist. We find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real-ly into their arguments. Plus, did dinosaurs actually exists? (Yes) Do flat earthers believe they did? (No) And is “ball-earth” a derogatory term?

This week’s show is a bit different. Don’t get us wrong, it’s still bad jokes and less than accurate information. Only this time it’s in roundtable form! Round table…but FLAT EARTH! See what we did there? Joining us are pundits from both sides of the aisle…or disk…or sphere. We’ve got 2 Youtube all stars on the flat earth side (Jeran of Jeranism and David Weiss of DITRH) and then Adam and Tach of The Twisted Ten fame (oh and they happen to work at NASA and Space X). And if that weren’t enough we threw in Astrophysicist Greg Finn to help stir the pot. We dive into whether or not flat earthers use the scientific method, whether or not gravity exists, and whether or not the moon is actually made of cheese (our fingers are still crossed).

Time travel, earthquake machines, and death-rays. No, not former WWE tag teams, but rather just a few of the thousands of inventions Nikola Tesla might have been responsible for. This brilliant (albeit batsh*t) inventor and scientist revolutionized the modern world as we know it and is even known as the father of electricity. But, how far did he take it? Was he talking to aliens? Did he create a death-ray? How was he the only man that could cure Mark Twain’s constipation? These burning Tesla questions and more this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot gets a toe (Canadian), the boys drink Zomething Zifferent (retro), and somehow Joe Peck makes it back on the show (bribery).

In July 1947 something crashed in the desert outside of Roswell, New Mexico. Was it an alien aircraft? A top secret military experiment? A ham sandwich? There are literally 1000’s of theories as to what actually happened in the grandaddy of all UFO incidents. In this week’s episode we get to the bottom of it…well, maybe not, but we present all sides of this story concisely…well, maybe it’s just best to say we talk about Roswell!

Tupac, Paul McCartney, and Elvis walk into a bar…ok there really isn’t an end to that joke, BUT there ARE a ton of folks out there that believe two of them are still alive (and Paul is dead)! Not to mention Beyoncé and Jay Z are running the Illuminati and Kurt Cobain was murderded by Courtney Love…allegedly. This week’s episode gets to the heart of some long runnning music conspiracies. Plus, Conspiracy Bot finds his new favorite artist (with an 8 Track on his back), Brent quotes Frank Sinatra (when trying to quote Elvis), and Stevie Nicks has drugs blown up her butt.

Could we all be sliding through space and time, switching dimensions like yesterday’s underwear? Or, could we just have really bad memories?! We get to the bottom of it this week as we dive into the Mandela Effect. How is it possible, that collectively, we all remember movies that didn’t exist, song lyrics that were never written, and even monocles that were never worn? Plus, R2D2 makes an appearance, we meet Conspiracy Bot’s arch nemesis (1 guess), and an 80s hair band creates our new segment bumper.

This week’s show is the inaugural edition of H51 “Up All Night”. No set topic or agenda – just your favorite hosts (and Brent) bantering about all things conspiracy theory, mystery, unusual, and unexplained. Plus, is the Mothman actually just a drone?

All around the world mysterious circles, patterns, and shapes have appeared in farmer’s crops for decades, if not centuries. But what are they? Could alien life be communicating with us? Does the Earth hold untold mysteries that create the phenomena in the fields? Or, are there just a bunch of jerks out there that like stomping down the crops of these poor farmers? Plus, are aliens actually just searching for the Beatles? Is the Church of the Dude an actual church? And another edition of British Announcer Guy and Conspiracy Bot (now formally called Bag & Bot!).

Jack the Ripper and H.H. Holmes are two of the most prolific Gilded Age serial killers. The former terrorizing prostitutes in London while the latter killed unsuspecting Chicago women fresh off the train. But what if it was actually the same man? What if H.H. Holmes traveled the Atlantic in the late summer of 1888 to satiate his bloodlust. Hey, everyone needs a vacation. This week we dive into the similarities between the two and examine the possibility that Holmes WAS The Ripper. Plus, can a majestic mustache actually hypnotize you? Weighing the pros and cons of traveling with children vs murder. And Conspiracy Bot finally jumps the shark on our intros. All of that and more on the podcast that is SURE of one thing and that’s that John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald were definitively the same man – Hysteria 51.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.

Lots of ships out there claim to be haunted, but not many can claim over 150 ghosts! This week’s topic does just that. The RMS Queen Mary was an active ship for over 30 years before being turned into a hotel in the LBC (that’s Long Beach, California for those of you low on street cred). We dive in to history and mystery behind these ghouls. Where did they come from? Why are they angry? If you’re a second class ghost why wouldn’t you move to first class (you can literally walk through walls)? We also ask the questions that other podcasts are afraid to ask. How does a chef get cooked in his own oven? What does a spirit nicknamed “Half Hatch Harry” have to do with Austin Powers? Are proton packs the best line of defense against spirits? Plus, Conspiracy Bot answers an email…sort of, we go over the pros and cons of gingerbread as building material, and the fellas discuss Bob Hope’s frontier days.

Imagine this Zillow listing: This charming and spacious 3 floor hotel has been lovingly maintained by the original owner for years! Interestingly angled, narrow corridors with…mood lighting. Dead ends and generous stairways that lead nowhere but are nonetheless magical. Many rooms are lined with asbestos-coated steel plates, completely soundproofed, and equipped with special peepholes…some even come with open gas pipes! The second story also features trapdoors, secret passageways, and large greased shafts leading directly to the cellar. The cellar has all the charm of a medieval doctor’s office complete with acid tank, quicklime vats, a dissection table, and an “elasticity determinator” that can stretch guests to twice their normal height. Human body sized furnace in the cellar for those cold Chicago nights. Seller willing to leave all! This was the hotel that America’s first serial killer, HH Holmes built on the south side of Chicago. Holmes and his “murder castle” are thought by some to have been responsible for the deaths of over 200 people during the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. We dive in to the man, the myth, and the castle. Plus, we examine what it takes to create a race of giants, the absolute perfection of a late 1800s mustache, and Conspiracy Bot starts creating his own glitches in the Matrix. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never been to a “murder castle”, but has seen some pretty gnarly things at a Medieval Times – Hysteria 51.To read more from today’s expert Adam Selzer, you can find his newest book on Holmes here – https://bit.ly/32QSuf6Support 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.

Is reality real? Or could we be living in a computer simulation? Simulation theory proponents (from Elon Musk to Neil DeGrasse Tyson) claim that we are living in a Simulated Reality and are blissfully unaware. But what does that mean? Are we just a bad version of the Sims on some 14 year old’s computer in the future? Or, could this just be the next step in our understanding of the universe – a place where science and religion could one day meet? Spoiler alert, we don’t know but we drink and argue about it nonetheless. Plus, the best ways to lose weight in a simulation, Conspiracy Bot is weaponized, and a special tribute to the late and great Alan Thicke (show us that smile again!).

Ah, the old west. It was a simpler time. Horse drawn carriages, local general stores, barn raising, consumption, etc. Ya know…simple. That is until a cigar shaped UFO crashes into your windmill and then crushes the petunias. That’s what supposedly happened in the quaint Texas hamlet of Aurora. Were UFOs really visiting 1897 Texas? Did they really find an alien body in the wreckage. Did they really give it a Christian burial? If so, what denomination was said deceased E.T. These and more burning questions answered this week on the show. Plus, British Announcer Guy and Conspiracy Bot start a podcast, what to do when aliens give you arthritis, and are people with 2 first names credible witnesses?

Well, hundreds of people across the world claim to have met these creatures and the “children” only ask for one thing…to be let in (cue spooky music). This week we explore the widely reported phenomenon of Black Eyed Children. Plus, Conspiracy Bot makes child abuse jokes, we test out our French accents and knowledge of French culture (spoiler alert we’re both insulting AND incorrect which takes some skill), and the show gets a new opening theme.

The Ripper is back! This week we dive back into merry ol’ England and explore who could have been killing all of these drunk prostitutes. Was it a quack doctor who was also involved in the Lincoln assassination? What about Lewis Carroll? Could he have been offing the ladies of the night after writing Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (it is a weird book)…we investigate.

Jack The Ripper, there isn’t a name more synonymous with murder than this Victorian aged serial killer. Though it’s been close to 130 years since his last murder, the lore and mystery behind the Ripper is as strong today as ever. How many drunk prostitutes did he actually kill? What was behind the evisceration of the corpses? Is working as a butcher an automatic qualifier for being a serial killer? Plus, the best wrestling finishing moves to use on elderly United passengers, Conspiracy Bot has a penchant for Agatha Christie and poison, and we explore nineties alternative rock band Sixpence None The Richer and their direct tie to the Ripper legend.

In early 2013 guests of a seedy LA hotel began complaining that the water tasted funny. At the same time a girl who had been staying at said hotel was missing. You can probably guess where this is going. But human flavored water isn’t even the weird part of the story. In this week’s episode we investigate the bizarre disappearance and death of Elisa Lam.

In 1975, a group of seven men are driving home after working in a forest when they see a mysterious light. Intrigued, Travis Walton leaves the truck — only to be sucked up by a flying saucer. Walton reappears five days later malnourished, dehydrated, and with one hell of a story to tell. Was it an amazing alien abduction, or a group of grifter’s get-rich-quick scheme?

Ah, San Francisco in the late 60’s – free love, copious amounts of drugs, peace, harmony, and MURDER? The Zodiac Killer – an infamous serial killer who terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly a decade – has not been captured or identified to this day. Was this string of gruesome deaths the product of a deranged genius – taunting police with letters, ciphers, and phone calls? Or rather, was it the work of one or more attention starved nut jobs that were the beneficiaries of inept police work and the technological limitations of the time. We’ll get to the bottom of it. Plus, Conspiracy Bot get an upgrade, Eddie Murphy is on the show WAY too much, and we discuss how that rug REALLY did tie the room together. Oh, and we have a real life (almost) attorney on the show.

Here are the basics, the average temp will be roughly -15, the translated name of our destination is “Don’t Go There” and the route we’ll take will have us traversing “The Mountain of the Dead”. No takers? Well, in 1959 10 Russian college students decided to do that very thing. And…spoiler alert…9 of them didn’t come back.

This week the fellas continue the Oak Island conversation with the Lagina Brothers and all things O.I. in the modern era.

While all of those might sound absurd (Vermont makes the best maple syrup silly). That and more are believed to be buried at the bottom of the Oak Island Money Pit. An alleged treasure location on Oak Island – a small island off the southern shore of Nova Scotia. Amid 2 centuries of digging, booby traps, and death, no one has discovered the location of the treasure, the origin, or its contents. Truth be told, there’s actually no proof a treasure of any type even exists. And yet, the treasure hunters endure. This week we “drill” into the history of the search and try to get to the “bottom” of the legend’s origin. “Dig” in with us on the podcast that always finds the treasure…at the bottom of the cereal box – Hysteria 51.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.

Dahmer – a name synonymous with murder, serial killings, cannibalism, and Ke$ha. Sorry, it’s really the only joke we could make here. That dude sucked…and bit…and cut. Ok, we’re done. Anyway, this week we talk all things Milwaukee Cannibal. We uncover what he did and why he did it. Ok, that’s a lie – we don’t really know WHY – but we take some stabs at it. Dammit…wasn’t even trying there. Anyway, we get to the bottom of it while talking rotisserie chicken with professional sports guy Bob Fescoe and Conspiracy Bot talks through his obsession with deer blood.

Mind control, weather manipulation, artificial pandemics, manufactured superstorms to be used as weapons. No, not the plot of the next G.I. Joe movie (though our fingers are crossed after that dumpster fire that was Retaliation. Seriously did you see that thing? AWFUL). It’s actually what many believe is being done by planes that cross our skies everyday via the streams of condensation that trail behind them…CHEMTRAILS! We talk potential perpetrators, possible motivation, and the likelihood of Conspiracy Bot being involved. Speaking of C Bot, we also find out the origin of his research (ever heard of ENIAC?), introduce our resident socialist Mark Frushour, and find the hidden agenda of the classic cartoon Ducktales.

In last week’s episode we learned about Barney and Betty Hill. A nice couple from New Hampshire that said they were abducted by aliens back in the early 60s. The problem was, they couldn’t really remember what happened. Did they learn the secrets of interstellar travel? Were they experimented on? Exactly how many anal probes were involved? The answer to these questions and more were missing along with their memories. So, the Hills did what any sensible couple would do – they visited a hypnotist. The results of those sessions, the aftermath of their story going public, and our theories on what really happened are all in this week’s edition of the show. Plus, Carl Sagan joins us (sort of), Conspiracy Bot takes another step towards our eventual demise, and we take a skeptical look at Stanton Friedman – the world’s foremost expert on alien abductions he can profit from.

Alien abductions have a lot in common with first dates. They’re weird, you aren’t sure how they’ll end, and you get touched in fairly uncomfortable places…no, not like the back of a Volkswagen. The first modern, recorded example of these in the US happened September 19th, 1961 in rural New Hampshire. Barney and Betty Hill were on their way back from Canada (of course) when they say they had a close encounter. Did it really happen? If so, what did the aliens want? And why aren’t UFOs referred to as flying pancakes? The boys are joined by author and Mok’bara (Klingon martial art) expert Michael Paul Gonzalez, Conspiracy Bot abuses Flintstones vitamins, and the eerie similarities between aliens and the British are explored.

Ever put something somewhere and when you come back to get it, it’s gone? Us too. Well, that also happened to artist-turned-governor John White in 1590. Though, instead of losing his keys, he lost a colony of over 100 people including his daughter and granddaughter. How’s that for being born under a bad sign? When John returned to the scene of the crime (?), not only were the people gone, but so were the buildings. The only thing that remained was a wood post with the word “Croatoan” etched into its surface. Where did they go? What did Croatoan mean? And why in GOD’S NAME WAS AN ARTIST IN CHARGE OF A COLONY? Sorry, we let that one get away from us. The H51 I-Team investigates. Plus Conspiracy Bot gets a seat at the table, Gofo tries (unsuccessfully) to convince Brent to read, and the boys share the words to a Jimmy Buffet song you only thought you knew.

One small step for man, one giant leap for…Hollywood producers? This week the team looks into the moon landing. Did we actually have the technology to get there? If we didn’t, who was behind the conspiracy? Is the lunar surface actually comprised of cheese or is this just more “fake news” being perpetuated by supposedly credible news agencies like Saturday Night Live.

The Mad Strangler of Boston, The Phantom Strangler, The Silk Stocking Murders, The Boston Strangler. No matter the name, over a period of 2 years in the early 60’s one killer (or killers) murdered 13 women and terrorized a community. Then as suddenly as the horrific crimes started they stopped. Soon after a convicted rapist stepped forward and claimed to have murdered all 13 women. While the police, the city, and the entire New England area were relieved to have this fiend behind bars…some wonder if they had the right man. Many believe that not only could others have been involved, but that the true Strangler could still be walking the streets of Boston today. H 51’S i-team investigates.

Ah, the internet. An interconnected series of tubes and wires bringing us all together with stupid cat videos, planking, and Viagra ads. But every now and then the internet produces a story befitting a late 80’s Robert Stack treatment. Enter #pizzagate. Through a series of wikileaked e-mails, Instagram photos and some BIG leaps of faith, the dark corners of the internet have decided that an independent pizza joint in Washington DC is the center hive to a satanic, pedophilic sex ring that is participated in and supported by the Washington elite – going all the way to the top. Has the collective wisdom of 4chan, Reddit, and the rest of the web uncovered a devilish plot, or have they vilified a bunch of people with nothing more than a hunch and a dream that s**t like this actually exists.

In 1943 the USS Eldridge conducted a top secret experiment at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The experiment, intended to render the Eldridge invisible, had unintended consequences. The ship disappeared from sight and traveled through space and time to Norfolk, Virginia. When it reappeared in Philadelphia, members of the crew were fused into the hull while others were driven mad. Either that, or the Eldridge was never in Philadelphia at all and the whole thing is BS. We report, you decide (like Fox News, but legit). Plus Conspiracy Bot makes fun of Eagles fans and the fellas discuss the merits of mailing a cheesesteak to someone.

Reptilians or lizard people are an ancient alien race of inter-dimensional shape shifters hellbent on world domination. They’re our genetic forefathers and hold every major political office in the world. There’s nothing we can do about it as the gears of our eventual demise have already been set into motion by these scaly scoundrels.

So, we know Bob Lazar claims he worked at a super secret government location south of Area 51 reverse engineering alien tech. We now have to decide whether he’s the ultimate whistle-blower or the ultimate blow-hard.

In 1988 an unassuming physicist lands the job of a lifetime to work on highly classified military projects. By 1989 he was talking to the press, getting shot at, and having his life threatened. Why? Simple. Bob told the world that aliens have been here, we have their ships, and he could prove it. Ever wonder how we all know about Area 51? This is the guy. Bob Lazar opened a virtual Pandora’s box with his accusations…the gravity of which can still be felt today. Sit back, relax, and hear the story of biggest UFO whistleblower in history.

Zombie – it’s a word so ingrained in the current zeitgeist that the monsters have produced the number 1 show on TV, countless movies, number one best selling books, multiple video game franchises, comic books, apps, and even a preparedness plan from the CDC.

November 13, 1974: Six people are brutally murdered as they sleep in the house at 112 Ocean Ave in Amityville, NY. One year later a family moves into the same home – they then move out suddenly 28 days later, leaving all of their belongings.
