This week on Blurry Hysteria, we ask the hard-hitting questions: Who’s afraid of the monster in the bedroom—and why does it look like a Conspiracy Bot? And more importantly, who’s peeing in your recycling bin?

That’s right, we’re diving headfirst into the kind of stories that make you question reality and your home security system. First up, a Kansas babysitter hears strange noises while checking for monsters under the bed and instead finds a man literally hiding there. Talk about a plot twist no bedtime story ever prepared her for.

Then, we head to Texas, where one man is being tormented by gallons—and we mean gallons—of mystery urine being dumped into his recycling bin. It’s a tale of high suspicion, low hygiene, and the kind of community "outreach" no one asked for.

So grab your flashlight, maybe a gas mask, and get ready for another episode of weird news that’s so bizarre it could only be Blurry Hysteria.

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any weirder—we’re back with a trio of tales that’ll have you questioning everything from homeownership to orca fashion trends. First, we revisit the case of missing solid gold crapper (spoiler: It's named America and it is FOUND). Then, the orcas are back on their bulls**t—reviving an old-school trend that involves wearing salmon carcasses as hats. That’s right: haute dead couture. And finally, a TikToker buys a hoarder house at auction and finds…yep, a decomposing body. But hey, at least the content went viral, right?

So grab your ghost-salmon hat, avoid discount deep freezers, and tune in to the show that asks the tough questions—like what is happening with this planet?!

Buckle up, dear listeners, because this week’s Beautiful Blurry Hysteria is swerving into absolute chaos! First, we take a ride into the world of self-driving nightmares as a Tesla flunks its automatic driving test in the worst way possible—by crashing during a demonstration. Turns out, even AI gets stage fright. Then, we shift gears into something far more grotesque: a woman caught trying to sell human toes—yes, toes—on FACEBOOK! All while making some truly horrific claims about canine digestion. Just when you think it can’t get weirder, we slide into the final act: TSA agents at Newark Airport uncovering a turtle stuffed inside a traveler’s pants. Slow and steady does not win the race through security, my dude.

Weird news? Check. Questionable life choices? Double check. Join us as we unravel the absurdity, ask all the wrong questions, and, as always, keep it blurry!

Gold. It’s shiny, it’s valuable, and it has a bad habit of making people lose their ever-loving minds. Legends of hidden treasure have fueled obsessions, ruined lives, and probably inspired more than a few bad tattoos. But few lost fortunes have captured imaginations quite like the Lost Dutchman’s Mine—a hidden gold stash so rich it could set you up for several lifetimes… if you could ever find it.

This week, we’re diving deep into the sun-scorched mysteries of Arizona’s Superstition Mountains, where one prospector supposedly struck it big and then took the secret to his grave. From cryptic maps and stone-carved clues to murder, curses, and possibly even supernatural guardians, this tale has all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster—except this one just might be real. So grab your shovels, keep an eye out for vengeful spirits, and join us as we mine for the truth behind one of America’s greatest lost treasures on Hysteria 51!

Ever wondered what happens when you take bad online advice a little too seriously? Or how about the possibility that we’re all living in a multiverse, hopping timelines without even realizing it? This week on Blurry Hysteria, we dive into some of the strangest news out there—starting with one man’s ill-fated attempt to survive on nothing but meat and dairy (spoiler: it didn’t go well). Then, we break down Google’s latest quantum computing breakthrough, which might just be proof that the multiverse is real. So, are we on the verge of a sci-fi future, or is this just another glitch in the matrix? Tune in and find out!

Science is weird, but this week, it’s downright prehistoric and miraculous. First up, researchers are bringing back a piece of the Ice Age by splicing woolly mammoth genes into live mice. What could possibly go wrong? We discuss the latest in de-extinction efforts, the ethical dilemmas, and whether these tiny, furry Frankensteins might be the first step toward full-blown Jurassic Park madness.

Then, hold onto your reproductive health textbooks because the next story is one for the medical history books. A teenager managed to get pregnant without the traditional method—let’s just say it involved oral sex and some deeply unfortunate circumstances. We break down the insane details of this once-in-a-blue-moon medical mystery, the science behind how it could even happen, and why reality just keeps proving stranger than fiction. All that and more this week on a Blurry Hysteria edition of Hysteria 51!

Ever felt hangry? Like, really, really hangry? So hangry that you might just turn into a supernatural, flesh-craving monster? Well, you’re in luck because this week, we’re diving headfirst into the legend of the Wendigo—a creature that takes "snacking" to a terrifying new level.

From its origins in Algonquian folklore to modern-day sightings (and possibly a Wendigo diet plan we can’t endorse), we’re breaking down what makes this beast so chilling. Is it a warning about greed and gluttony? A cautionary tale for winter survivalists? Or just an ancient way of saying, "Dude, don’t eat your friends"? We’ll cover all that and more, including some very questionable Wendigo-related crimes, and why you probably don’t want to go camping in Canada anytime soon. Al that and more this week on Hysteria 51!

This week on Blurry Hysteria, we welcome back our good friend Kevin Crispin from Behind Beautiful Things to help us navigate the latest in bizarre news. Ever wonder how long it takes to steal a solid gold toilet? (Spoiler: Less time than it takes to order a coffee.) Or what happens when a rogue prankster sends marathon runners on a wild detour? And if that’s not weird enough, we’ve got a story involving an inflatable girlfriend, a fire, and some very bad decision-making. Buckle up—this one’s as ridiculous as it gets!

Join Brent, David, and Kevin as we break down the absurdity, ask the important questions (like who needs a gold toilet?), and try to make sense of the world’s weirdest headlines.

Before the X-Files, before Bigfoot reality shows, before your uncle went down a YouTube rabbit hole and now won’t shut up about lizard people—there was Charles Hoy Fort. A man who spent his life collecting the weirdest, wildest, and most WTF-worthy stories that science tried (and failed) to explain. From raining frogs to UFOs before they were even called UFOs, Fort cataloged it all and basically invented the field of Forteana—aka the study of all things bizarre,

spooky, and questionably sane. AKA our bread and butter!

But who was Fort? A misunderstood genius? A professional weirdo? The first-ever Reddit or 4 Chan mod? Join us as we dive into the life, work, and general badassery of the man who made the strange, well… stranger. Spoiler alert: he burned a lot of his own work: was it because even he couldn’t believe what he was writing? Or it was all true and the powers that be made him do it? That’s for you to decide...

Buckle up, because this week we’re getting Fortean as hell on Hysteria 51.
