In July 1947 something crashed in the desert outside of Roswell, New Mexico. Was it an alien aircraft? A top secret military experiment? A ham sandwich? There are literally 1000’s of theories as to what actually happened in the grandaddy of all UFO incidents. In this week’s episode we get to the bottom of it…well, maybe not, but we present all sides of this story concisely…well, maybe it’s just best to say we talk about Roswell! Plus, child slaves on Mars, homosexual frog engineering, and Conspi...

Tupac, Paul McCartney, and Elvis walk into a bar…ok there really isn’t an end to that joke, BUT there ARE a ton of folks out there that believe two of them are still alive (and Paul is dead)! Not to mention Beyoncé and Jay Z are running the Illuminati and Kurt Cobain was murderded by Courtney Love…allegedly. This week’s episode gets to the heart of some long runnning music conspiracies. Plus, Conspiracy Bot finds his new favorite artist (with an 8 Track on his back), Brent quotes Frank Sinatra (...

Could we all be sliding through space and time, switching dimensions like yesterday’s underwear? Or, could we just have really bad memories?! We get to the bottom of it this week as we dive into the Mandela Effect. How is it possible, that collectively, we all remember movies that didn’t exist, song lyrics that were never written, and even monocles that were never worn? Plus, R2D2 makes an appearance, we meet Conspiracy Bot’s arch nemesis (1 guess), and an 80s hair band creates our new segment b...

This week’s show is the inaugural edition of H51 “Up All Night”. No set topic or agenda – just your favorite hosts (and Brent) bantering about all things conspiracy theory, mystery, unusual, and unexplained. Plus, is the Mothman actually just a drone? Is disclosure imminent (no, not the Michael Douglas movie)? And is this actually Joe Peck’s last appearance on the show? All of that and more on the podcast that really just needed a week off from research – Hysteria 51. Support the show: https://...

All around the world mysterious circles, patterns, and shapes have appeared in farmer’s crops for decades, if not centuries. But what are they? Could alien life be communicating with us? Does the Earth hold untold mysteries that create the phenomena in the fields? Or, are there just a bunch of jerks out there that like stomping down the crops of these poor farmers? Plus, are aliens actually just searching for the Beatles? Is the Church of the Dude an actual church? And another edition of British...

Jack the Ripper and H.H. Holmes are two of the most prolific Gilded Age serial killers. The former terrorizing prostitutes in London while the latter killed unsuspecting Chicago women fresh off the train. But what if it was actually the same man? What if H.H. Holmes traveled the Atlantic in the late summer of 1888 to satiate his bloodlust. Hey, everyone needs a vacation. This week we dive into the similarities between the two and examine the possibility that Holmes WAS The Ripper. Plus, can a ma...

Lots of ships out there claim to be haunted, but not many can claim over 150 ghosts! This week’s topic does just that. The RMS Queen Mary was an active ship for over 30 years before being turned into a hotel in the LBC (that’s Long Beach, California for those of you low on street cred). We dive in to history and mystery behind these ghouls. Where did they come from? Why are they angry? If you’re a second class ghost why wouldn’t you move to first class (you can literally walk through walls)? We ...

Imagine this Zillow listing: This charming and spacious 3 floor hotel has been lovingly maintained by the original owner for years! Interestingly angled, narrow corridors with…mood lighting. Dead ends and generous stairways that lead nowhere but are nonetheless magical. Many rooms are lined with asbestos-coated steel plates, completely soundproofed, and equipped with special peepholes…some even come with open gas pipes! The second story also features trapdoors, secret passageways, and large grea...

Is reality real? Or could we be living in a computer simulation? Simulation theory proponents (from Elon Musk to Neil DeGrasse Tyson) claim that we are living in a Simulated Reality and are blissfully unaware. But what does that mean? Are we just a bad version of the Sims on some 14 year old’s computer in the future? Or, could this just be the next step in our understanding of the universe – a place where science and religion could one day meet? Spoiler alert, we don’t know but we drink and argu...

Ah, the old west. It was a simpler time. Horse drawn carriages, local general stores, barn raising, consumption, etc. Ya know…simple. That is until a cigar shaped UFO crashes into your windmill and then crushes the petunias. That’s what supposedly happened in the quaint Texas hamlet of Aurora. Were UFOs really visiting 1897 Texas? Did they really find an alien body in the wreckage. Did they really give it a Christian burial? If so, what denomination was said deceased E.T. These and more burning ...

Ever meet a kid and they just creep you out for some reason? Now imagine you took a closer look and the child’s eyes were completely black…like the whole thing. Well, hundreds of people across the world claim to have met these creatures and the “children” only ask for one thing…to be let in (cue spooky music). This week we explore the widely reported phenomenon of Black Eyed Children. Plus, Conspiracy Bot makes child abuse jokes, we test out our French accents and knowledge of French culture (sp...

The Ripper is back! This week we dive back into merry ol’ England and explore who could have been killing all of these drunk prostitutes. Was it a quack doctor who was also involved in the Lincoln assassination? What about Lewis Carroll? Could he have been offing the ladies of the night after writing Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (it is a weird book)…we investigate. Plus, is Prince Albert truly in a can, is Johnny Depp really a Freemason, and is this show actually just bad FM radio. All of th...

Jack The Ripper, there isn’t a name more synonymous with murder than this Victorian aged serial killer. Though it’s been close to 130 years since his last murder, the lore and mystery behind the Ripper is as strong today as ever. How many drunk prostitutes did he actually kill? What was behind the evisceration of the corpses? Is working as a butcher an automatic qualifier for being a serial killer? Plus, the best wrestling finishing moves to use on elderly United passengers, Conspiracy Bot has a...

In early 2013 guests of a seedy LA hotel began complaining that the water tasted funny. At the same time a girl who had been staying at said hotel was missing. You can probably guess where this is going. But human flavored water isn’t even the weird part of the story. In this week’s episode we investigate the bizarre disappearance and death of Elisa Lam. Plus Conspiracy Bot’s British alter ego, a musical tribute to Rick Moranis, and the possibility of agreement between our hosts for the second w...

In 1975, a group of seven men are driving home after working in a forest when they see a mysterious light. Intrigued, Travis Walton leaves the truck — only to be sucked up by a flying saucer. Walton reappears five days later malnourished, dehydrated, and with one hell of a story to tell. Was it an amazing alien abduction, or a group of grifter’s get-rich-quick scheme? We get to the bottom of it. Plus, a gameshow that kills (literally), the positive impact of UFOs on trees, and a startling revela...

Ah, San Francisco in the late 60’s – free love, copious amounts of drugs, peace, harmony, and MURDER? The Zodiac Killer – an infamous serial killer who terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly a decade – has not been captured or identified to this day. Was this string of gruesome deaths the product of a deranged genius – taunting police with letters, ciphers, and phone calls? Or rather, was it the work of one or more attention starved nut jobs that were the beneficiaries of inept police ...

Who wants to go hiking through the mountains of Russia? Here are the basics, the average temp will be roughly -15, the translated name of our destination is “Don’t Go There” and the route we’ll take will have us traversing “The Mountain of the Dead”. No takers? Well, in 1959 10 Russian college students decided to do that very thing. And…spoiler alert…9 of them didn’t come back. Theories as to their demise include wind born craziness (yes that’s a thing), Cold War chemical weapons, aliens, and ev...

Everyone needs a hobby and it turns out there’s a whole slew of people out there who’s hobby is believing the earth is flat. Flat like “sail off the end” flat. Some of them are even celebrities. We hear from a few on why they believe this ain’t no oblate spheroid. Plus Conspiracy Bot makes a friend, the Perfect Strangers theme song comes into play, and Brent might or might now have been visited by Reptilians (spoiler alert – it involves his gallbladder). All of that and more on the show that doe...

The Lost City of Atlantis. A myth propagated by conspiracy nuts and loons throughout the ages? Or, an advanced civilization too advanced for their time and wiped off the face of the earth? We discuss, plus did they have cell phones, was Atlantis ALSO a UFO filling station, and spirited discussions about rocks (it’s better than it sounds). Plus Conspiracy Bot starts to find some life direction, somehow the entire Atlanta Falcons organization is dragged into this, and bonafide Academy Award Winner...

The Curse of Oak Island – a long time legend and now the name of an over-hyped History Channel reality show we all spend way too much time watching. This week the fellas continue the Oak Island conversation with the Lagina Brothers and all things O.I. in the modern era. The show that has America collectively asking, “can you just dig an f’n hole already?”. Also we talk Dan Blankenship’s superiority to Chuck Norris, the mystery that is his blue lip, and the virtues of being brave and stupid at th...

O, Canada – the Great White North. Known for hockey, maple syrup, and Templar Knight treasure? King Solomon’s Menorah? Original Shakespearean manuscripts? While all of those might sound absurd (Vermont makes the best maple syrup silly). That and more are believed to be buried at the bottom of the Oak Island Money Pit. An alleged treasure location on Oak Island – a small island off the southern shore of Nova Scotia. Amid 2 centuries of digging, booby traps, and death, no one has discovered the lo...

Dahmer – a name synonymous with murder, serial killings, cannibalism, and Ke$ha. Sorry, it’s really the only joke we could make here. That dude sucked…and bit…and cut. Ok, we’re done. Anyway, this week we talk all things Milwaukee Cannibal. We uncover what he did and why he did it. Ok, that’s a lie – we don’t really know WHY – but we take some stabs at it. Dammit…wasn’t even trying there. Anyway, we get to the bottom of it while talking rotisserie chicken with professional sports guy Bob Fescoe ...

Mind control, weather manipulation, artificial pandemics, manufactured superstorms to be used as weapons. No, not the plot of the next G.I. Joe movie (though our fingers are crossed after that dumpster fire that was Retaliation. Seriously did you see that thing? AWFUL). It’s actually what many believe is being done by planes that cross our skies everyday via the streams of condensation that trail behind them…CHEMTRAILS! We talk potential perpetrators, possible motivation, and the likelihood of C...

In last week’s episode we learned about Barney and Betty Hill. A nice couple from New Hampshire that said they were abducted by aliens back in the early 60s. The problem was, they couldn’t really remember what happened. Did they learn the secrets of interstellar travel? Were they experimented on? Exactly how many anal probes were involved? The answer to these questions and more were missing along with their memories. So, the Hills did what any sensible couple would do – they visited a hypnotist....
