For almost 70 years reports of a bipedal Frogman or frogmen have funneled in from the city of Loveland, Ohio. Do 3- to 4-foot-tall bipedal amphibians with, wait for it, magic wands actually stalk the rural area outside of town? Or is this nothing more than an urban legend that keeps getting reimagined with each passing generation. We strap on our cryptozoology hats and go gigging for frogmen this week on Hysteria 51 Special thanks to this week’s research sources: Videos Sightings of the Lovela...

MJ Banias makes his triumphant return to the Lower 4th Dimension this week to talk about his new podcast, Fringe Network: Alien State. We discuss what he has in store for season 1, TTSA shenanigans, what does disclosure actually look like, and the merits of profanity! So yeah, we are firing on all cylinders this week on Hysteria 51 About Fringe Network: Alien State Publicly, the government once called UFOs a “waste of time” but new evidence and uncovered documents prove that the U.S. government...

Frog Bones and Benjamin Button Mice. It’s not some weird Disney/Pixar film, oh no... it’s what’s in store for you on Blurry Hysteria! We keep our series of weird pit found full on fill in the blank going with frog bones! Plus, can we unlock the key to de-aging ourselves? One mouse messer-wither says so (that’s a term now so deal with it). All that and more on the show that knows a thing or two about finding pits full of bones, we do live with Conspiracy Bot – Hysteria 51 News Story Mentioned: S...

Brent and David are joined this week by Steven Kotler to talk his new book, The Devil’s Dictionary. Steven is a New York Times-bestselling author; we are talking nine bestsellers out of thirteen books total... How awesome is that?!?!

Not one to rest, he is also an award-winning journalist (nominated for 2 Pulitzer Prizes), he has done his own Ted Ta...

We're all going to die!! Or at least that is what the dozens of you who suggested this story seem to think. Surprisingly though, this time Conspiracy Bot is not involved, so we have that going for us. But, A.I. is involved, and Google of course. Google engineer Blake Lemoine has came forward and said a chatbot, LaMDA, is self aware. Has feelings, and fears being turned off. Is this the technological singularity where we all now bow to our overlord before we are wiped out? Or maybe just confused ...

If there is one thing we are sure of here at Hysteria 51, it’s that castles are haunted. Scooby-Doo taught us that from the jump and we are not about to forget it. But what makes a castle stake the claim of Most Haunted Castle in the World??? That’s a tall claim, but it’s just what Leap Castle in Ireland boasts. From its mysterious beginnings to its blood shed through the years to its lingering ghost stories, Leap Castles has all the markings to be just that... but are they true or just rambling...

Cogswell makes his triumphant return to the show this week as we talk Cyberpunk woes, life in the space fast lane, and honest to goodness treasure hunters. Should you release your name when you strike it rich? Why are science article titles so deceiving? And, just how powerful is the old SNES? Find out this week on MBH!

Best Of Time! Or, at least what made us chuckle along the way. You might hate them! As we finish up vacation time, we thought we would hit you with some of our favorite clips of the first 6 years of Hysteria 51. There is some Brent, some Goforth, some Peck, and more than enough CBot. We are back next week with normal episodes so, my apologies!

Quick question, what do you call a gathering of vampires? David and Brent argue that and the finer points of Guinness Book of World Records attempts by vampires this week.

Congress held its first public hearing on UFOs in more than half a century. U.S. intelligence officials Scott Bray and Ronald Moultrie as well as members of Congress from both sides of the political aisle came together top talk unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs). Was it a groundbreaking step into a world of disclosure? Or a maybe big plate of nothing wrapped in lies? We talk (argue) that this week on Mad Blurry hysteria, all the while welcoming Chris Cogswell back to the show! News Stories Men...

You see them all the time when driving, signs saying PSYCHIC in neon. It's the home of the tarot card readers. But, is there anything to it or is it just a cash grab and time suck like everything else in our lives?? Well, this is NOT the podcast to answer that, come on now. But we are going to talk tarot AND give each other readings on the show. So best case scenario we have at least a 10% chance am dooming our mortal souls to hell this week, so that's fun. Plus, Conspiracy Bot lets us know our ...

Don’t you just hate it when you dump a body and forget all about it. Then decades of climate change come a calling and said body comes back to haunt you? No... just our robot? Well, sadly, he’s not alone as Lake mead in Nevada is at its lowest levels in history. That is making long forgotten things dumped in there to come back with a vengeance. Plus, we hop across the pond to the ever-weird Stonehenge for more mysteries as hundreds of man-made pits have been discovered at the location predating ...

August 21, 1955 started off like so many others in the small community of Kelly, Kentucky, just another hot summer night. Lucky Sutton along with his family and friends were enjoying a quiet peaceful evening. But they were about to find out what was lurking in the darkness. They had visitors, ones not from this earth. After hours of siege from these beings, a gunfight, and visits of police, the event was over. Then the crazy really began… Did small, metallic “goblins” really attack a family and...

Just when you thought you had planned the perfect heist Canada comes along and poo-poos all over your parade... in space...

Ken, Deb, Nic True are the nightmares of a person that fears. Safe are the bodies of the silent world. Turn pretty flower, turn towards the sun for you shall grow and sow. But the flower reaches too high and withers in the burning light. Get out your bricks — Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat went to London to seek fame and fortune. Faith must not be lost for this shall be your redeemer. So started the Dodleston messages, alleged messages from the past and maybe the future! All sent to a BBC micro computer i...

It’s a summertime getaway for New York’s affluent and also happens to be the home of one of the darkest conspiracy theories in US history – the “Project M...

He might see you when you’re sleeping but you can see him when he’s dead! Maybe… If they found the tomb of the real life, honest to goodness Santa then you sure as heck can, and that’s just what David tries to convince us of this week.

Break out the candles and pop open some wine, it’s time to get sexy…. Or at least talk about whale dorks and alien babies on this week’s haul of weird stories. You do you, we don’t kink shame! And, we have our first listener article this week, “UFOs left 'radiation burns' and 'unaccounted for pregnancies,' new Pentagon report claims”. Plus, David brings us some hard-hitting facts with “No, the Loch Ness Monster was not a whale's penis”. Or so they want us to believe! News Stories Mentioned: Spa...

Ah, Merry Old England, it's a magical place filled with wonder, excitement, and forests! And those forests are filled with hell hounds, and evil huntsmen, black eyed children, werewolves, vengeful ghosts, and even Pigmen... So yeah, fun!

This week Brent convinces us we don’t have to be lonely; we can get plowed by an alien! And by plowed he means subjugated while the planet is stripped… Stripped of its resources, not the sexy kind of stripping. Or so warned Stephen Hawking, but that never stopped us before! Plus, David tries to convince us that a mermaid mummy that has been worshipped for centuries is a fake. How stupid does he thing we are?!?!?! All that and more random ramblings on the first Blurry Hysteria! News Stories Ment...

It's been 110 years since that fateful night in April, 1912 when, on her maiden voyage, the largest ocean liner the world had ever seen was struck by an iceberg and sank in the cold Atlantic Ocean... Allegedly! Are the history books true, or were slightly more nefarious agents at play that caused the death of more than 1500 souls? We talk everything from insurance fraud to mummy curses this week as we break down some of the more popular "truths" about the disaster. Plus, KYLE professes his love ...
