Check your struts and chutes, Flora is blasting off straight into the heart of the lost cosmonaut conspiracy theory! A conspiracy involving Soviet coverup of terrible atrocities, the lost cosmonaut theory deals with purported evidence of death after death in the race for space supremacy. Cries into the abyss, a faltering heartbeat, and airbrushed photos are just a few aspects of this theory. David delves deeply into the lore, examining audio files, photographs, and claims made by theorists. Just how bad was the loss of life? Was Yuri Gagarin really the first person in space? What can you even believe anymore?

What do you get when a former intelligence officer, a late-night comedy show, and a whole lot of government secrets walk into a bar? You get this week’s episode of Up All Night! We’re diving into Luis Elizondo’s eye-opening appearance on The Daily Show, where he spilled the beans on the world’s worst-kept secret: aliens. Oh, I'm story - NHIs, aka Non Human Intelligence. But here’s the kicker—turns out Uncle Sam has been keeping this cosmic cat in the bag for so long, they’re now stuck trying to figure out how to un-lie to the public without blowing up the whole charade. Are we finally on the brink of disclosure, or is this just another twist in the never-ending UFO / UAP soap opera?

Strength and honor. Discipline and courage. The Glory of Rome! And none of it mattered for one of said Rome’s most renowned legions. Or so it seems… Reputation became tales, and tales became myths about Legio IX Hispana, Rome’s famed Ninth Legion passed into the category of legend when it mysteriously vanished from the record books around the turn of the 2nd century CE. That was before the black and white color switch for those playing along at home. But how could one of the most fearsome and battle-tested units of the then most powerful empire on earth just up and disappear like a dad going for cigarettes? Theories have run the gamut from mundane to supernatural, with more significant consequences from its disappearance than you might imagine.

This week, we’re diving deep into the murky waters of ancient Sumer to unravel the life and legend of Gilgamesh—part god, part man, and full-time hero. Was this towering king of Uruk just another ruler with delusions of grandeur, or was he really a demigod who battled monsters, befriended wild men, and defied the gods themselves? Join us as we explore his epic quests, including his obsession with immortality, his fateful bromance with Enkidu, and the secrets that may still lie buried beneath the Euphrates.

Imagine a group of ordinary people coming together with one extraordinary goal: to create a ghost from scratch. That’s exactly what happened in the early 1970s with the Philip Experiment, a fascinating parapsychological study led by Dr. A.R.G. Owen and the Toronto Society for Psychical Research. The team invented a fictional character, Philip Aylesford, a 17th-century English nobleman with a tragic backstory, and then set out to bring him to life through sheer willpower and collective imagination.What started as a curious experiment in human consciousness quickly escalated into something far more mysterious. The group reported witnessing strange phenomena—tables moving on their own, eerie knocks answering their questions, and even glimpses of a ghostly presence. But was this really the work of a spirit, or just the power of the human mind? Join us this week as we dive deep into the eerie world of the Philip Experiment, where belief and reality collide in the most unexpected ways… on Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources: VideosThe Philip Experiment - https://youtu.be/uhT0-n9OH8M?si=kGPGRv6pcmheHSF9The Quiet Ones - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2235779/WebsitesPhilip Experiment Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_experimentRanker - https://www.ranker.com/list/philip-experiment-paranormal-study/jodi-smithDread Central - https://www.dreadcentral.com/editorials/358897/the-philip-experiment-we-want-ghosts-to-be-real/Live About - https://www.liveabout.com/how-to-create-a-ghost-2594058C.

David takes over this week as we dip into the Blurry Photos UFO coffers for a peak at the Falcon Lake Incident!Original DescriptionFlora is back with a deep dive into the fascinating events of the Falcon Lake incident! An amazing Canadian UFO case, the Falcon Lake incident is often regarded as one of the most investigated and strongest UFO cases in history. Stefan Michalak was out on a prospecting trip near Falcon Lake, Manitoba, when he witnesses 2 UFOs in the sky. When one landed not far from him, his curiosity led him to a close encounter that would forever change his life. David tackles the incident and asks tough questions in the search for the truth. What did Michalak see that day? What caused him to become so ill afterward? And what can be made of the evidence and investigations? Flora also invites Dr. Chris Cogswell from the Mad Scientist Podcast to help suss out some science.

This week on Hysteria 51, Brent is missing! But have no fear, David Flora enlists the help of everyone's favorite overthinking Kevin, host of Sad Times Podcast, to bring the weird. Join them as they dive headfirst into the latest batch of weird news that’s making headlines (and raising eyebrows). First up, archaeologists have just thrown us a Stonehenge curveball by tracing its famed altar stone all the way back to the Mediterranean. Is this the ultimate rock-star import or just another piece of the puzzle that proves Stonehenge was the world’s first cross-cultural hangout?

“I have deposited in the county of Bedford, about four miles from Buford's [Tavern], in an excavation or vault, six feet below the surface of the ground, the following articles, belonging jointly to the parties whose names are given in number three, herewith: The first deposit consisted of ten hundred and fourteen pounds of gold, and thirty-eight hundred and twelve pounds of silver, deposited Nov. eighteen nineteen. The second was made Dec. eighteen twenty-one, and consisted of nineteen hundred and seven pounds of gold, and twelve hundred and eighty-eight of silver; also jewels, obtained in St. Louis in exchange to save transportation, and valued at thirteen thousand dollars. The above is securely packed in iron pots, with iron covers. The vault is roughly lined with stone, and the vessels rest on solid stone, and are covered with others.

Then, it's back to 1964 to visit Jim and his photo shenanigans once again! Original DescriptionNothing worse than a photobomb. There you are minding your own business, taking a picture of your lovely daughter and next thing you know some idiot time traveler / astronaut / inter-dimensional being drops his/her/its mug into your frame. And while we’ve all been through it, there’s a famous version we’re talking about this week - The Solway Firth Spaceman. Where did the other figure come from? Could this be a real, true documentation of a close encounter? How much is free film for a year actually worth? We dive in deep and see what develops. Plus, Conspiracy Bot actually did research this week (albeit unsuccessfully, but...ya know...baby steps). Brent channels his inner British housewife from the 1960s (it wasn’t a huge leap). And John starts talking about time travel again (we wish it existed so we could go back and stop him). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t do a ton of photo shoots, but when we do they’re in the UK and they involve a spaceman – Hysteria 51.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=9022Advertising 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 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.Advertising 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.

Imagine this: one day, you're baking bread, and the next, you're busting moves in the streets of Strasbourg without a stop button!Join us as we shimmy through the theories – from mass hysteria to ergot-fueled rye parties, and even a supernatural dance-off. Was it a curse from St. Vitus? A case of medieval Footloose? Or perhaps, an elaborate 16th-century flash mob gone incredibly wrong? We'll explore the eerie, the bizarre, and the (unintentionally) hilarious side of this historical head-scratcher. Did the authorities try to cure it with more dancing?
