Hysteria 51 is your offbeat weekly podcast destination for all things weird and wonderful! We navigate the cosmic highways of UFOs, the alien-infested landscapes, and the enigmatic frontiers of the paranormal. With your hosts, Brent Hand and David Flora, alongside our cantankerous tin man, Conspiracy Bot (with a not-so-subtle desire to rule the world, doubling as our chief inquisitor into the unknown), we delve into unique mysteries, the inexplicable, and the downright unusual. Each week, we explore a fresh topic, making one thing crystal clear... the truth is out there, but you won’t find it here.

Hysteria 51 - Project Blue Beam | 267
play

12/27/21 • 51 min

NASA, the United Nations, and the anti-Christ walk into a bar. Stop us if you've heard this one before. No? Well, those three and a select few others are all teamed up to use sky beams and Tupac-less holograms to try and take over the world! Or at least that is what Serge Monast told the world in his 1994 book, Project Blue Beam. They are using religions and pandemics against us, he swore, until he died. But that didn’t stop his cult like followers from preaching his theories to the world. Luckily Jay Settlemyer from Project Skeptic Podcast stops by to help us unpack it all this week on the podcast that doesn’t need sky holograms and telepathy to take over the world; we have a robot for that- Hysteria 51

Did you know America once eyed hippos as a solution to its problems? This week on Hysteria 51 we dive into the bizarre yet true tale of how early 20th-century Louisiana faced a water hyacinth invasion and a looming food shortage—and how importing hippos, lovingly dubbed “lake cows,” was proposed as the answer. Join us as we explore the strange saga of "Lake Cow Bacon," the politicians and eccentric dreamers behind the plan, and why this idea almost became reality. Grab a plate of hypothetical hippo bacon, and let’s get weird with history!

It's another switcheroo week on Hysteria 51 as the boys from Canada take over to tell the tale of Donald Shrum and the Cisco UFO Encounter

The Cisco UFO Encounter
In 1964, then 26-year-old Donald Shrum, with two of his close friends, traveled up into the Sierra Nevada mountain range of Northeastern California. Known to history as “Gold Country” the mountains not only possess rich mineral variety but also boast an impressive abundance of plant and animal life. Shrum and his companions were set to participate in a leisurely weekend of bowhunting among the pristine forests and rugged ridges set within Tahoe National Park. Shrum had no idea that on this trip he would have an experience that would fill his nightmares for years. An experience that would stay locked within the files of official UFO investigators until finally brought to light in 2005. This case file, join the Theorists as they talk about archery and shaft work in... The Cisco UFO Encounter

Hysteria 51 - Conscious Contact: Full Disclosure | 268
play

01/10/22 • 52 min

"For as with all things paramount to humanity's survival, when the issues and interests reach a boiling point, the masses will enact change. Are we truly alone? Or have we evolved to a new epoch in the annals of mankind's existence?" That's what this week's documentary asks us to ponder.

Tyler Transue and Chris Ruppert of Doc Side Media are joining us to talk their new documentary Conscious Contact: Full Disclosure. It is right up the H51 alley as it covers aliens, experiencers, hybrids, UFOs, consciousness, and telepathy. All told though the experiences of 5 individuals. All that and more this week on the podcast that is down for conscious contact, but not so much with the unconscious type, Hysteria 51

A little girl is found dead on Christmas day in a small Midwestern town. That same night a mysterious young woman moves to town and is revealed to be none other than the ghost of the little girl, and she is determined to piece together the vague memories of her own demise. That's the short-short run down of Double Walker a new movie from Colin West and Sylvie Mix. They both join me this week to talk making ghost stories, living in a haunted house, and what it's really like to make a movie. Plus, CBot tells us his favorite paranormal comedy (It's disturbing), KYLE talks REVENGE (spoiler, it involves cheese muffins), and Brent tries to keep it all together while John is still out welcoming in his new baby girl to the world. All this and more on the podcast that doesn’t always talk about ghosts. But when we do, they are out for revenge - Hysteria 51

Hysteria 51 - Randy Cramer: Mars Marine or Space Case? | 266
play

12/13/21 • 60 min

Kid gets genetically altered pre-birth. Kids gets his low hangers grabbed by a Jawa freeloading a sandwich from his fridge who happened to be a government operative testing him. Kid gets stationed on Mars for almost 2 decades. The now adult kid gets de-aged back to kid and told adios by Donald Rumsfeld during a ceremony on the moon. Kid now teaches psionics, and for a nominal fee he can teach YOU. I know what you are thinking, that’s a tale as old as time. Everyone knows someone who has been through it, but darn it this week we are focusing on Randy Cramer and HIS experience protecting mining colonies on Mars! And, it’s dangerous to go alone, so Rob Kristoffersen of Our Strange Skies joins Brent to break down all the Captain Kaye shenanigans this week on the podcast that’s never been to Mars but knows a certain robot we would love to send there – Hysteria 51

“I have deposited in the county of Bedford, about four miles from Buford's [Tavern], in an excavation or vault, six feet below the surface of the ground, the following articles, belonging jointly to the parties whose names are given in number three, herewith:

The first deposit consisted of ten hundred and fourteen pounds of gold, and thirty-eight hundred and twelve pounds of silver, deposited Nov. eighteen nineteen. The second was made Dec. eighteen twenty-one, and consisted of nineteen hundred and seven pounds of gold, and twelve hundred and eighty-eight of silver; also jewels, obtained in St. Louis in exchange to save transportation, and valued at thirteen thousand dollars.

The above is securely packed in iron pots, with iron covers. The vault is roughly lined with stone, and the vessels rest on solid stone, and are covered with others. Paper number one describes the exact locality of the vault, so that no difficulty will be had in finding it.” - Thomas Jefferson Beale, from the second cipher text of the Beale Papers, allegedly written in 1822.

Is it time to channel your inner Gus Chiggins and get to hunting for gold? Or maybe all of this a cunning ruse or just a flat out lie? We explore that and more this week with The Beale Ciphers on Hysteria 51!

Hysteria 51 - H51 Classic: Project Montauk | BONUS
play

04/27/22 • 57 min

H51 Classic Time!!
Stranger Things Season 4 is coming out soon so what better way to celebrate than to revisit our Montauk episode, the story that gave inspiration to the Stranger Things. Plus, who doesn't want some more Peck in their life?!?!?!

Original Description:
On the eastern tip of Long Island New York sits the sleepy town of Montauk. 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 Montauk ”. Allegedly a special ops black site where children were kidnapped, brainwashed, and experimented on, dissected, and killed. The purposes of which ranged from mind control, remove viewing, and ESP to telekinesis and ripping holes in space time. Were thousands of children turned into the telekinetic super soldiers...or is this just the mad ramblings of some weird old men. We’ll journey into the upside down to find out. Plus, Brent professes his love for Wynona (Judd), the boys have an uncomfortable debate about the pronunciation of Winona’s first name (Ryder), and Joe Peck joins the show for the last time (C-Bot means it this time). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t always pick topics that have TV shows loosely based on them, but when we do it’s always Stranger Things – Hysteria 51.

This week on Blurry Hysteria, the world proves once again that reality is stranger (and way funnier) than fiction. First up, we flap our way into South Africa, where a helicopter crash had one very unexpected stowaway: a penguin in a cardboard box. Is it espionage? A fishy getaway plan? Or just the weirdest Uber ride in aviation history?

Then we chug along to Missouri, where a man found himself back in cuffs for getting a little too intimate with a train seat. That's right—he's on a one-way trip to the “nope” station with a layover in “why tho?”

From avian absurdity to locomotive lust, it’s another baffling journey through the bizarre—only on Blurry Hysteria!

This week on Blurry Hysteria, we're pulling rabbits out of uncomfortable hats!

First up, the U.S. government is waving its moral wand again with a proposed federal bill to standardize obscenity laws—which sounds like code for “bye-bye porn, hello legal chaos.” Is this a noble crusade to clean up the internet, or just the 500th reboot of Footloose, but with more pixels and fewer dance numbers? Either way, we’re not sure if we should be horrified or just... slightly bored.

Then, we conjure up the magical tale of The Magic Circle’s first female member, who fooled the boys' club by disguising herself as a man in the early 1900s. Spoiler alert: she was better at sleight of hand and mustache application than any of them. Gender-bending misdirection? Now that’s a trick worth applauding.

Tune in for a magical and moderately NSFW episode where illusion meets institution, and nothing is quite what it seems!
