Hysteria 51

A former Air Force pilot turned (possibly shady) art dealer thinks he's on his way to the grave in the late 80s and comes up with an idea. He's going to use his amassed wealth to put together a modern day treasure chest and go die next to it in the Rocky Mountains. The flaw in his plan? He didn't die. That man was Forest Fenn and he eventually decided in 2010 to hide the treasure anyway (without his body) and tell the world to go find it; winner take all. And with that the hunt was on...

A conspiracy that leaves theorists a little Red in the face. Check your struts and chutes, Flora is blasting off straight into the heart of the lost cosmonaut conspiracy theory! A conspiracy involving soviet coverup of terrible atrocities, the lost cosmonaut theory deals with purported evidence of death after death in the race for space supremacy. Cries into the abyss, a faltering heartbeat, and airbrushed photos are just a few aspects of this theory...

In 1936 a UFO allegedly crashed in the Black Forest near Frieberg, Germany where Hitler's SS quickly recovered it for research. Could it be that THAT craft and the technology garnered from it ALMOST turned the tide of the war and gave Hitler access to uncanny COSMIC POWER?!?!!? Eh, probably not - but it's still worth an episode. This week we wrap ourselves in Old Glory and go alien/Nazi hunting as we revisit The Black Forest UFO Incident of 1936...

This week we're diving into the briny deeps to fish out some delicacies…specifically octopus and squid! And while it may be true that we'll eventually learn octopi are super-intelligent beings from another world, in the meantime they're just delicious. So, grab your favorite invertebrate, fire up the grill, wok, or fryer and chow down on cephalopods this week on CAFEteria 51.  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well, we finally did it. We finally sold out. Specifically, we finally had a Patreon member silly enough to pay for the level that lets them join the show and pick the topic. That listener? Cebastian Tekin. The topic? Sleep paralysis. Hit play to see what’s inside (Cebastian, the Patreon included you joining...not a clever description). Plus, C-Bot unveils his next Uncle Conspiracy Bot’s Fun Time Toy (oh boy). Somehow he involves Darius Rucker (whoa boy)...

Nation, April Fool's comes early this year as we hand our feed over the The Ladies of strange this week to hear some spooky story shenanigans. First, Tiffany tells us the urban legend of the seven sisters. Then Ashley tells us the story of Deer Island off the coast of Biloxi, Mississippi. Finally, and listeners beware, Rebecca tells us the history of Robert the Doll. We hope you like their show as much as we do, and don't forget to like and subscribe to them and tell then Hysteria 51 sent you!

Tons of kids have an imaginary friend. It's the same old song and dance. "Mom! Dad! My imaginary friend wants to push me on the swing! My imaginary friend is an old man in a black suit. My imaginary friend lost his hand to a cotton gin accident." You know...routine stuff. Anyway that's the beginning of this weeks haunting...and that's definitely only the beginning. From visits with dead neighbors, to scratches from demons, to hell-mouths opening in the living room - this story has it all...

Toynbee Ideas in Kubrick's 2001 Resurrect Dead on Planet Jupiter. No, that's not some strange Fortean Mad Libs, it's a message that, in various iterations, has been found across the world for over 30 years. Etched into streets, these "Toynbee Tiles" remain a mystery to investigators to this day...

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!

The cafeteria has reopened and we're kicking off the new season with a bang...or a cluck. This week we scratch our way through CHICKEN FEET! How are they prepared? Are they tough? Do you eat the nails? We ask the tough questions (and chew through some tough cartilage) as we try the least appetizing part of dim sum this week on Cafeteria 51.
