Hysteria 51

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? We get to the bottom of it. Plus, a gameshow that kills (literally), the positive impact of UFOs on trees, and a startling revelation about Conspiracy Bot’s past.

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. Sorry, with this show’s budget – that was the best we could do. All of that and more on the podcast that just wants to be friends…with benefits – Hysteria 51.

Who wants to go hiking through the mountains of Russia? 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. Theories as to their demise include wind born craziness (yes that’s a thing), Cold War chemical weapons, aliens, and even Yetis! The H51 I Team investigates. Plus, the triumphant return of Brent to the show, Conspiracy Bot pushes his luck a little too far, and the merits of sunbathing when you’re dead.

Everyone needs a hobby and it turns out there’s a whole slew of people out there who’s hobby is believing the earth is flat. Flat like “sail off the end” flat. Some of them are even celebrities. We hear from a few on why they believe this ain’t no oblate spheroid. Plus Conspiracy Bot makes a friend, the Perfect Strangers theme song comes into play, and Brent might or might now have been visited by Reptilians (spoiler alert – it involves his gallbladder).

The Lost City of Atlantis. A myth propagated by conspiracy nuts and loons throughout the ages? Or, an advanced civilization too advanced for their time and wiped off the face of the earth? We discuss, plus did they have cell phones, was Atlantis ALSO a UFO filling station, and spirited discussions about rocks (it’s better than it sounds). Plus Conspiracy Bot starts to find some life direction, somehow the entire Atlanta Falcons organization is dragged into this, and bonafide Academy Award Winner – Nic Cage joins the show.

The Curse of Oak Island – a long time legend and now the name of an over-hyped History Channel reality show we all spend way too much time watching. This week the fellas continue the Oak Island conversation with the Lagina Brothers and all things O.I. in the modern era. The show that has America collectively asking, “can you just dig an f’n hole already?”. Also we talk Dan Blankenship’s superiority to Chuck Norris, the mystery that is his blue lip, and the virtues of being brave and stupid at the same time. Plus, we tell you what’s actually buried there and Conspiracy Bot gets personal and has a moment.

O, Canada – the Great White North. Known for hockey, maple syrup, and Templar Knight treasure? King Solomon’s Menorah? Original Shakespearean manuscripts? 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. These hard hitting questions and more along with the return of resident Reptilian expert Joe Peck and resident doctor (or as close as we’ll get…she’s in pre-med) Bailey Shemenski.

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.

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. Also in this episode, John butchers particle physics, Brent interviews Lazar’s boss Dennis Moriani, a vacuum cleaner bends space-time, and Conspiracy Bot is ready to fight Matt the Millennial.

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. But at the heart of it all is a frightening proposition. What do we do when the dead begin to walk the earth? And when the zombie apocalypse happens, where will it come from?
