Ep 424Blurry Hysteria: Loch Ness Flight Hazards
bonusEJoin us as we diving headfirst into a double shot of unadulterated strangeness. In our first stop we jet-set to the surreal world of commercial aviation, where an unexpected in-flight reptilian revelation left a woman demanding immediate removal from the plane. The woman insisted that her fellow passenger was an undercover reptilian humanoid, causing a flight disruption of truly extraterrestrial proportions. Was it a genuine encounter with a shape-shifting humanoid, or just a case of pre-flight jitters gone wildly out of hand? Or, more than likely, just a hoax!Then we voyage to the chilly depths of Scotland's Loch Ness, where recently, a gaggle of gobsmacked tourists claim to have spotted none other than Nessie herself, surfacing from the murk to say hello! Was it the legendary Loch Ness Monster making a personal appearance or just a haggis having a swim? We're on the case, leaving no stone unturned or flipper-print uninvestigated.News Stories Mentioned: Special thanks to James PolkLizard Wink - https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattnovak/2023/07/08/viral-video-about-reptilian-airline-passenger-winking-actually-a-hoax/?sh=65d1a1016cdf Loch Ness Out for a Stroll - https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1781562/loch-ness-tourist-spots-huge-dark-shape-sparking-nessie-hopes?fbclid=IwAR0Hle0G0ArUswqEXTzIJ-wspAVNrWxaisaElOkpJhJDZ4jRhPzClQj75Tw 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=9022 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.

Ep 329Heaven's Gate Revisited: UFOs & Comets & Castration, Oh My! | 329
EStrap on your Nikes, grab your favorite alien snack, and join us as we look back at the time we tried to uncover the truth behind the Heaven's Gate Cult. Did we find the keys to the kingdom or just a one-way ticket to Crazy Town? You'll have to tune in to find out!Original DescriptionWhat could compel 39 people from all walks of life to abandon their friends and family and commit suicide in a vain and rather crazy attempt to hop a ride on a UFO hiding behind the Hale-Bopp Comet in March of 1997? Well, the answer is stranger than you think...this week we look into the history, mystery, and ultimate tragedy of the Heaven's Gate cult. How did a Texas nurse and a college choral director with Broadway dreams become the leaders of the UFO Cult to end all UFO cults? And how did they convince so many unlikely people to join them? Were they really trying to transcend humanity or were they perfectly deranged bedfellows preying on the trust of their followers. This week we shave our heads, learn the handshakes and try to get to the bottom of the largest mass suicide to ever take place on American soil. Plus, Conspiracy Bot tries to start a cult with Alexa (he's unsuccessful), in unrelated news Conspiracy Bot also tries to order a 5 gallon drum of Sharkleberry Fin Kool-Aid (it's related), and also in unrelated news Conspiracy Bot offers to get drinks for the show (also actually related). All of that and more on the podcast that has never been in a cult, but if we were we’re pretty sure Dr Frank N Furter would be our leader – 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://hysteria-51.creator-spring.com/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.

Ep 325Scientific Paradoxes | 325
EScience is full of all sorts of paradoxes: We can travel to the depths of space, but can't cure the common cold. We can split the atom, but can't figure out why time flies when you're having fun. We can map the human genome, but can't predict the weather accurately. It's like we've unlocked the secrets of the universe, but can't find the remote control....But those don’t make our eyes cross or the smartest of us lose sleep over night because of how intangible an answer seems to be. And THOSE type of paradoxes are exactly what we have instore for you this week, so sit back, relax, and try not to have an aneurism as we break down our favorite thought-provoking scientific paradoxes of all time here on Hysteria 51.

Ep 324Creepy Dolls | 324
ECavemen used to fashion dolls out of sticks and rocks. They would play with them for hours, pretending that they were going on epic hunting trips and fighting off saber-toothed tigers.Fast forward a few thousand years, and dolls became all the rage in ancient Egypt. People would bury them in tombs with their deceased loved ones, probably as a way to keep them company in the afterlife. Kind of like a creepy little buddy system.During the Middle Ages, dolls were mostly used as religious objects. But then the Renaissance came along, and artists started making fancy dolls for rich people to show off their wealth. "Look at me, I have a doll with a velvet gown and real human hair!" they would exclaim, as the peasants rolled their eyes.In the 20th century, dolls became even more popular, thanks to the rise of mass production. Barbie dolls were created, and girls everywhere were suddenly obsessed with having the perfect body, dream house, and wardrobe. Meanwhile, boys were busy playing with G.I. Joes and action figures, pretending to save the world one plastic battle at a time.But what about the outliers? The ones that seem... off. The ones that capture our attention for all the wrong reasons, and people can’t stop talking about them. That is what we are focusing on today as we tackle Creepy Dolls here on Hysteria 51.

Ep 321Stone Tape Theory: Residual Hauntings or Pseudoscience? | 321
EWe’ve all heard of things that go bump in the night, but what if they are just recording of past events echoing through time? That is the heart of the Stone Tape Theory aka residual hauntings and this week’s topic. Is it an honest to goodness natural phenomenon, or just pseudoscience trash for people to cash in on. Speaking of trash, CBot plays the trailer for his new movie (it sucks). Brent tried to pass the term arch cocksman off as if it is normal (it isn’t). And KYLE proves once again that he is the moral compass of the show (and that is just sad). All that and more on the podcast that has never caused a residual haunting, but we do have some karaoke tapes that are pretty haunting in their own right – Hysteria 51.

What headlines caught our eyes? What events happened? And, who of note past this year?

Ep 315DAVID FLORA WEEK- The Bell Witch: Real Tennessee Poltergeist or Made Up Legend? | 315
EDavid Flora Week Day 5! Holy crap we made it through a whole week of the mustachioed mad man, pre-hosting duties! And what better way to round out the week than a land deal going south that turns PARANORMAL. If we weren't cursed before we probably are now as we take shots at The Bell Witch. But why not join us in our torment, we have bot booze and snacks!!Original Description There you are, minding your own business in 1800's Tennessee when Boom, a land deal goes south and a witch curses your family for generations. We know what you're thinking, that old chestnut? Well, that's just the chestnut this week as we tackle the Bell Witch with the help of returning guest and mustachioed mad man David Flora. Can Kyle cook up a spell? Does ghostly banging count as ASMR? Do you call a priest or animal control if you spot Cerberus at your door? All that and more on the podcast that has never been cursed by a witch, but we are cursed with robots daily so we will call it a wash - Hysteria 51Special thanks to this week’s sources:BooksAn Authenticated History of the Famous Bell Witch | Martin V.

Ep 314DAVID FLORA WEEK- The Mary Celeste | 314
EDavid Flora Week Day 4! Something, Something, Poop Deck! (We have to keep with the dick and fart jokes here on H51) Today we are once again back in 2019 to subject Flora to more bot boozed soaked shenanigans as we explore the infamous Ghost Ship- The Mary Celeste! Original Description 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. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never discovered a ghost ship, but took a Carnival Cruise once that was almost as scary – Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVBooksThe Mary Celeste: An Unsolved Mystery from History | Jane Yolen, Heidi E.

Ep 313DAVID FLORA WEEK- Spring Heeled Jack: England’s Weirdest Paranormal Legend | 313
David Flora Week Day 3! This time we go back to 2019 and let David flex his random accent muscles a plenty as we talk Spring-Heeled Jack. If you are into gropey, fire belching leapers with a total disregard for stagecoach safety then you are in luck! Original DescriptionThis 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 sources:BooksThe 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.orgAdvertising 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.

Ep 312DAVID FLORA WEEK- The Phoenix Lights: Mass UFO Sighting or Mass Hysteria? | 312
EDavid Flora Week Day 2! This time we go back to David's first time on H51 back in 2018. He brought his Legos and his Phoenician (I hate that word) knowledge as we talked the triangle craft mystery that still gets people worked up, The Phoenix Lights! Original DescriptionIf one guy says he saw a UFO - it's easy to dismiss. But what do you do when over 10,000 people in one state say they did? That's exactly what happened March 13th, 1997 throughout Arizona. They all describe something very similar too: several lights arranged in a triangular pattern slowly moving overhead. Was it a visit from E.T.? A top secret military project? Or swamp gas bouncing off a weather balloon coupled with flares and whatever else they can come up with? The H-51 I-Team investigates this week with the help of David Flora from the Blurry Photos Podcast! That's right - a odd pod crossover event right here in the lower 4th dimension! Plus, Conspiracy Bot orders a vial of The Rock's sweat (it made sense to him). We learn more about Goforth in the 90's than we ever wanted to know (two words: frosted tips). And we discover the real reason the Titanic sank (it might involve a demon). All that and more on the podcast that doesn’t believe EVERY conspiracy from 1997, but we KNOW there was more room on that door ROSE!

Ep 311DAVID FLORA WEEK- John Titor: Time Traveler or Internet Troll? | 311
It's David Flora Week here on Hysteria 51. This week we are looking back at some of our favorite of David's guest appearances on the show before he took over co-hosting duties. And what better way to kick off a week of of looking back in time than with a time travel episode... Yup, John Titor!!! Original DescriptionIf time travel is possible and future humans are coming back to our era...what would they want? To kill a future despot? To make a change to the environment that saves future generations? To take back a computer from 1975 to make their time machine work properly? If you're anything like the subject of this week's show, John Titor, you went with door #3. According to his posts on the internet, John Titor traveled back to the 70s to get a special computer to save time travel. He also made a pit stop along the way in the early 00's to live with his family (and 2 year old self) and presumably post snotty messages on inane internet forums (not stand-up forums like Hysteria Nation). Sound crazy? That's the most normal part of this story. This week we do our best Sam Beckett and try to fix what went wrong with the OG Chrononaut - John Titor. Plus, John and Brent ponder the existential perils of time travel (not really - just looking for ways to make money on it). Conspiracy bot ponders the existential perils of time travel (not really - just looking for other ways to kill John and Brent). And David Flora of Blurry Photos is back in the lower 4th (he just wants to time travel to a time before he met Conspiracy Bot). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t have time travel capabilities, but if we did, we’d do things to improve humanity…and make an insane amount of money – Hysteria 51.Time Travel / John Titor songs referenced in the show:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z6ppzwikfchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz_uGrpgPBQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxaTHTisUvghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmvBi2NOO3Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHl4GnwFv20 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.

Ep 310The Silent Twins: Separating Fact from Fiction | 310
EKids are creepy. It just comes with the territory. But everyone once in a while there are kids that do stuff that defies logic and even their own well being. Case in point The Silent Twins, Jennifer and June Gibbons who spent their childhoods and most of their adult lives locked in silence, only speaking to one another and shutting the world out. Then came the crimes. Theft. Fighting. Arson. So, institutionalism it was. And their lives got weirder and weirder until one died under very odd circumstances. We talk their lives, one's tragic death, and what it is like being locked in a silent life.

Ep 424Blurry Hysteria: Cocaine Bear aka Pablo EscoBear
bonusECocaine Bear... Pablo Escobear... THE Apex Predator.... Whatever your want to call it, it is the number one story as far as most people sending in the same topic. Therefore, here it is in all it's glory before the Ray Liotta movie masterpiece drops in 2023. We talk the crazy true story of Winnie the Pooh's cokehead cousin and how he got that name, how Waylon Jennings was involved, and where you can see him yourself while probably sampling some fine fudge based products.
