Hysteria 51

Alien abductions have a lot in common with first dates. They’re weird, you aren’t sure how they’ll end, and you get touched in fairly uncomfortable places…no, not like the back of a Volkswagen. The first modern, recorded example of these in the US happened September 19th, 1961 in rural New Hampshire. Barney and Betty Hill were on their way back from Canada (of course) when they say they had a close encounter...

Ever put something somewhere and when you come back to get it, it’s gone? Us too. Well, that also happened to artist-turned-governor John White in 1590. Though, instead of losing his keys, he lost a colony of over 100 people including his daughter and granddaughter. How’s that for being born under a bad sign? When John returned to the scene of the crime (?), not only were the people gone, but so were the buildings...

One small step for man, one giant leap for…Hollywood producers? This week the team looks into the moon landing. Did we actually have the technology to get there? If we didn’t, who was behind the conspiracy? Is the lunar surface actually comprised of cheese or is this just more “fake news” being perpetuated by supposedly credible news agencies like Saturday Night Live...

The Mad Strangler of Boston, The Phantom Strangler, The Silk Stocking Murders, The Boston Strangler. No matter the name, over a period of 2 years in the early 60’s one killer (or killers) murdered 13 women and terrorized a community. Then as suddenly as the horrific crimes started they stopped. Soon after a convicted rapist stepped forward and claimed to have murdered all 13 women...

Time keeps on slippin slippin slippin into this edition of Hysteria 51. This week the boys talk all things time travel. How do we bend space-time to our will? Why can’t the Enterprise time-travel? Is there anything wrong with stabbing a baby Hitler? What the hell was Steve Miller talking about? All of that plus special guests Joe Peck and Dan Jessup. Hop in the Delorean, flip on the flux capacitor, and head back to the Future with us on Hysteria 51.

Boy meets girl. Boy dates girl. Girl gets angry, leaves date, and tries to walk home. Girl is killed by hit and run driver. Girl spends the next 80+ years getting rides from unsuspecting gentlemen for no particular reason. You know, that old yarn. That’s the tale of Resurrection Mary – a ghost story spanning the better part of the last century and still going strong today. Our intrepid investigators go to the scene of the crime to get to the bottom of this hitchhiker haunting...

Ah, the internet. An interconnected series of tubes and wires bringing us all together with stupid cat videos, planking, and Viagra ads. But every now and then the internet produces a story befitting a late 80’s Robert Stack treatment. Enter #pizzagate...

In 1943 the USS Eldridge conducted a top secret experiment at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The experiment, intended to render the Eldridge invisible, had unintended consequences. The ship disappeared from sight and traveled through space and time to Norfolk, Virginia. When it reappeared in Philadelphia, members of the crew were fused into the hull while others were driven mad. Either that, or the Eldridge was never in Philadelphia at all and the whole thing is BS...

Reptilians or lizard people are an ancient alien race of inter-dimensional shape shifters hellbent on world domination. They’re our genetic forefathers and hold every major political office in the world. There’s nothing we can do about it as the gears of our eventual demise have already been set into motion by these scaly scoundrels. Thus, our hosts drink Carlos Rossi out of a jug and discuss the real identity of Benedict Cumberbatch...

Zombies, civil unrest, natural catastrophe, Trump, alien invasion, super contagion…all potential harbingers of apocalypse. When the time comes, will you be prepared?
