Just when you thought the world couldn't get any weirder, Mother Nature said, "Hold my fertilizer," and Halloween decided to take things WAY too seriously. First up, we're heading to Siberia, where a man suffering from months of headaches and double vision discovered something growing inside his eyeball. Was it a tumor? A parasite? An alien implant? Nope. A FREAKING PLANT. That's right, an actual seed had sprouted roots inside his eye. Apparently, when doctors tell you to get more greenery in y...

Scientists have figured out how to grow living human brain cells, hook them up to computers, and make them play video games. Because apparently artificial intelligence wasn't terrifying enough, so we gave computers actual human brain cells and introduced them to Doom. What could possibly go wrong? Meet the bizarre world of biological computing, where scientists are teaching neurons to play Pong, growing miniature human brains, and building computers that need food and life support. Finally, a...

This week's Hysteria 51 is tackling two of life's greatest mysteries: What the hell is flying around in our skies, and can getting busy actually clear your sinuses? First up, a former NASA astronaut is making headlines with an out-of-this-world claim: UFOs aren't extraterrestrials. They're DEMONS IN DISGUISE! That's right, forget little green men from Zeta Reticuli. Apparently, we should be looking for little red devils from the fiery pits of Hell. Are UFO sightings actually supernatural enco...

This week on Hysteria 51, we're handing over the keys to the asylum! We're finally announcing the winners of our Pick a Topic and Host the Show contest! That's right, a few lucky listeners have officially won the opportunity to join us behind the microphones, choose an episode topic, and experience firsthand just how little adult supervision goes into making this podcast. Congratulations! You've won a prize that's technically just more work for you. Then, we're heading into space, where scien...

This week on Hysteria 51: The truth is out there... and apparently so is the urine. Minnesota, we need to talk. Seriously. What the hell is going on up there?! This week, the Land of 10,000 Lakes becomes the Land of 10,000 Questions as Hysteria 51 dives into two bizarre news stories involving mysterious objects falling from the sky and a college professor who apparently never learned what bathrooms are for. First up, an 11-foot-wide mystery metal object has turned up in a Minnesota cornfield, ...

What if the aliens aren’t coming from space because they never left Earth? Enter the Cryptoterrestrial Hypothesis, the strange and surprisingly thoughtful idea that at least some UFOs, UAPs, alien encounters, and unexplained phenomena could be connected to an advanced intelligence native to our own planet. We’re talking hidden civilizations, underwater bases, ancient human offshoots, unknown terrestrial species, USOs, the 2004 Nimitz Tic Tac encounter, John Keel’s ultraterrestrials, Jacque...

We are digging into the coffers this week for a classic Mad Blurry Hysteria with the crazy doc himself, Chris Cogswell! It's Mad Blurry Hysteria time once again as we dive head first into the pool with Guinness Book of World Records for the longest time to hold your breath (It Is Crazy!). Then it’s DNA time – from the air… (nothing to worry about there). And finally, George Knapp brings out more UAP photos for us to tackle. News Stories Mentioned: Guinness Book of WTF!Air DNA Shenanigans Alien...

Brent is out this week, which means Kevin Crispin of Behind Beautiful Things has been handed the keys to Hysteria 51. This was a terrible administrative decision. First up: a Virginia driver gets caught allegedly doing nearly 50 mph over the speed limit and reaches deep into the Big Book of Excuses to blame the one force powerful enough to override traffic laws: McDonald’s breakfast. Was the Egg McMuffin getting cold? Were the hash browns entering their dangerously soggy phase? Somewhere, Ronal...

This week on Hysteria 51, we’ve got vampires, missing people, Minecraft, and a nine-year-old with the advertising budget of a midsize corporation. First, we sink our teeth into the bizarre disappearance of George Phillip Gall, an Ohio man whose case became tangled in claims involving a Dayton vampire coven, occult rituals, and alleged human sacrifice. Netflix even produced a documentary about the story, Vampires of Gem City, only for the project itself to seemingly vanish into the darkness. ...

This week on Hysteria 51, we hand the show over to the most dangerous force in paranormal podcasting: you people. It’s our listener voicemail episode, which means we’re cracking open the inbox and playing your questions, comments, theories, insults, corrections, questionable life choices, and whatever else you decided was important enough to leave on our voicemail. Will we learn something? Possibly. Will we regret giving everyone our number? Almost certainly. But there’s actual business to han...

This week on Hysteria 51, medical enhancement and poolside romance collide in ways absolutely nobody requested except for Kevin Crispin who joins us for some Beautiful Blurry Hysteria! First, we head to Thailand, where authorities are investigating a Bangkok cosmetic clinic after influencer Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo died following a penis enlargement procedure involving hyaluronic acid filler injections. It’s a tragic story involving cosmetic enhancement, questionable decisions, and yet another rem...
