Rip off your tin foil hats and throw your best pot on your head as you grab a seat by the campfire because this week the Hysteria 51 crew digs into the dusty books of American folklore to uncover the truth behind some of the nation's tallest tales! We’re throwing Johnny Appleseed’s "hat" in the ring with John Henry’s hammer, racing Babe the Blue Ox, and decoding Geronimo’s battle tactics. Are these legends larger-than-life heroes or just myths wrapped in America’s star-spangled banner? Tune in as we crack jokes, bust myths, and maybe even stir up a spirit or two. It's a historical hullabaloo you won’t want to miss this week on Hysteria 51!

This week on H51 we finally dive into the eerie world of creepypasta, those internet-born tales that spook and thrill in equal measure... or just suck. It all depends on the subreddit! From the chilling depths of Slender Man to the unsettling accounts of Jeff the Killer, these stories have seeped from the shadows of the web into the fabric of modern digital folklore. Join us as we explore the origins of creepypasta, how these macabre tales are crafted, and their impact on culture and media. We’ll dissect famous stories, debunk myths, and perhaps even share a new tale or two with the help of returning guest and Sad Times Podcast host, Kevin Crispin. Lock your doors, check your internet connection, (and that is to just keep you safe from Conspiracy Bot) and get ready to be haunted by the stories that lurk online.

We are back to brave the wilds of the USA!

Last week Hysteria 51 embarked on a chilling journey into the heart of America's folklore, and this week we are back with the 2nd installment of our two-part special, "A Cryptid Odyssey Across America." Inspired by Monica Fish's spine-tingling article in Fangoria magazine, we're uncovering the dark corners of the USA, state by state, to reveal the second 25 of the 50 eerie entities that lurk in the shadows. Oh, and just as scary, Kevin Crispin of Sad Times is back in studio!

From the misty hollows of the Pacific Northwest to the swampy depths of the South, join us as we traverse the country to dig up tales of creatures so bizarre and terrifying, you'll be glad it's daylight. We'll meet cryptids you've heard of—and many you haven't—as we reveal the lore behind each one and ask the question, what's lurking in your backyard?

Picture this: a quiet morning in 1961, Eagle River, Wisconsin, when Joe, a humble plumber and chicken farmer on the side, witnesses a shiny saucer land in his yard. Out steps beings from beyond, not with laser guns or cryptic messages, but with a craving for water and an offer of pancakes cooked on a flameless griddle. This story has it all: interstellar diplomacy over breakfast, a government analysis of cosmic cuisine, and the enduring mystery of why aliens might traverse the vastness of space to share their version of our morning favorites. Buckle up as we dive into one of the most appetizing alien encounters in history, serving up a story so strange it just might be true. PLUS- We finally find out what Conspiracy Bot's C.H.U.D. does, and it brings with it some old "friends" of the show. So, get ready to be whisked away on an adventure that's out of this world on Hysteria 51!

Was it a visitor from another world, a natural phenomenon, or just the world's most elaborate bird bath? We dive into this outback swamp saga where the UFOs are as mysterious as the Aussie wildlife. From George Pedley's hissing UFO (or was it just an overheated tractor?) to the perfectly swirled reed formations that could give crop circles a run for their money, we've got it all. So, settle in, grab your vegemite, and get ready for some extraterrestrial shenanigans from the land down under this week on Hysteria 51.
