Hysteria 51

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...

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 ...

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...

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, o...

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...

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 st...

Last week, Hysteria 51 went knocking on one of the most infamous locked doors in UFO history.

This week, somebody finally opens the darn thing.

We’re heading back to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and picking up the alleged story of a technical specialist who claimed he was secretly transported to a restricted facility filled with technology nobody could identify, machinery scientists were supposedly ordered to reverse-enginee...

Science has finally answered the question nobody was brave enough to ask: what if the cockroach crawling toward you was actually a paramedic? Researchers are developing remote-controlled cyborg roaches capable of crawling through disaster rubble, locating survivors, and even delivering lifesaving injections. It’s innovative. It’s brilliant. And it guarantees you’ll never confidently swat another bug again.

Then we ...

This week on Hysteria 51, Mother Nature is acting strange... and one guy is acting much, much stranger.

First, a massive floating island covered in trees suddenly appears in British Columbia’s Williston Reservoir, drifts around like it forgot where it parked, disappears, and then turns up miles away. Scientists have explanations involving debris, rising water, and vegetation, but we prefer to believe Canada has finally develop...

Forget Area 51. It’s time to head to Ohio, where the UFO lore is colder, the security clearances are higher, and allegedly somebody forgot to clean the aliens out of the fridge.

This week, we’re investigating the mysterious Blue Room at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the legendary top-secret facility supposedly used to store and study crashed UFO wreckage, Roswell debris, exotic technology, strange “memory metal,...

This week on Hysteria 51, we’re asking the important questions: What exactly can’t you donate to Goodwill, and how convincing does your fake horse semen laboratory need to be before the government stops asking questions?

First, a human skull mysteriously turns up at a Michigan Goodwill. And no, it wasn’t an old medical specimen gathering dust in somebody’s attic. The FBI is now involved, DNA testing is underw...

A landed flying saucer. A mysterious humanoid pilot. A frozen Italian glacier. Multiple photographs. And a 1952 UFO encounter that still gets passed around social media today as some of the clearest evidence of extraterrestrial visitation ever captured. Sounds pretty darn convincing, right?

Head to the Bernina Alps with us as we investigate the bizarre case of Giampiero Monguzzi, the Italian photographer who claimed he and his wife ...

This week on Hysteria 51, we’re cracking open the weirdest six-pack history ever forgot and then running for our lives from nature’s angriest lumberjacks.

First, divers recover a 162-year-old bottle of Guinness from an 1864 shipwreck, and scientists hope its remarkably preserved contents could help recreate the stout as it tasted in the 19th century. Because apparently archaeology has finally stopped wasting time on pott...

What if you died, got pronounced dead by doctors, buried by your family, and then showed up 18 years later with one hell of an excuse for missing Thanksgiving? Enter the bizarre true story of Clairvius Narcisse, the Haitian man who allegedly became a real-life zombie after being poisoned, buried alive, dug back up, drugged, and forced into labor.

We explore the terrifying history of Haitian zombies and Vodou, Wade Davis and his cont...

We had some life stuff get in the way this week so we are going back to where the Blurry Hysteria / Weird Wednesday episodes started. Back to regular episodes next week!

Original Description

It's Mad Blurry Hysteria Time on H51! This week Brent tries to sell us the Lizzie Borden house, David swears Nibiru is gone for good, and Chris flirts with Tom DeLonge on twitter. All that and more on this week’s Mad Blurry Hysteria!

Shut the windows and change your mask filters, the Mad Gasser of Mattoon is prowling the podcast! A WWII-era midwestern mystery, the Mad Gasser of Mattoon held a small town in a gaseous grip of fear for 2 weeks with no explanation and few suspects. Panic took hold as locals tried to figure out what was happening in their small Illinois community. To this day, no one knows exactly who perpetrated a series of alleged gas attacks, nor...

This week, Hysteria 51 asks two important questions: How far is too far when protecting your lawn, and has your dog secretly been judging you this entire time?

First, a Minnesota man allegedly constructs a homemade spike strip packed with dozens of three-inch screws to stop neighborhood kids from biking across his grass. Because apparently a “Keep Off the Lawn” sign lacked the medieval menace he was looking for.

Then we t...

Reality may be bigger, stranger, and far more crowded than our three-dimensional monkey brains can handle. This week on Hysteria 51, we count down ten horrifying theories about what could exist in dimensions we cannot see, from shadow matter and hidden forces to holographic universes, colliding branes, M-theory, and countless alternate versions of you making equally terrible decisions.

Could gravity be leaking into another dimension...

This week, education gets artificial and prison security goes prehistoric.

First, the company behind Realbotix is pitching schools on humanoid AI teacher assistants, because apparently the journey from crypto to adult companionship to high-school STEM education is now a perfectly normal corporate career path. Could a lifelike robot help teenagers learn science, or will “Sally” spend the semester explaining algebra to stu...
