This week, Blurry Hysteria turns the weird dial to Kentucky via Canada (AKA 11) as we delve into stories you won’t believe (but probably wish you could un-hear). First, we head to Nova Scotia, where a shocking discovery in a Walmart oven raises questions (and eyebrows). Then, it’s off to good old Kentucky for a tale that’s equal parts crime drama and macabre mystery as body parts lead to an arrest that feels ripped from a horror flick. Tune in for all the bizarre twists, ridiculous theories, and the dark humor that drives Kevin Crispin crazy. Oh yeah, Mr. Sad Times Podcast himself is here too this week!

The Rake

One of the internet's most enduring creepypastas—a story of a terrifying creature that preys on unsuspecting people in their sleep. Born from the online world, it quickly gained popularity, growing from a simple, scary tale into a fully-fledged phenomenon. This week we dive into its evolution, influence on pop culture, and its impact on those who’ve encountered stories about it, on Hysteria 51.

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. David delves deeply into the lore, examining audio files, photographs, and claims made by theorists. Just how bad was the loss of life? Was Yuri Gagarin really the first person in space? What can you even believe anymore? Sit back and let Flora take you on an audio odyssey to the 60s and beyond in this episode of Hysteria 51!

On this week’s episode of Blurry Hysteria, we dive headfirst into some truly bizarre and mind-boggling headlines. First, we explore the cutting-edge (pun intended) world of science where stem cells from circumcised baby foreskin are being used to grow mini-brains that not only process data but also run AI more efficiently than your average smartphone. Then, we check in with a spooky survey that claims most American houses are haunted. Could your home be next? Tune in for some haunted homes and brainy baby bits—only on Blurry Hysteria!

Original Description

Remember that time we stormed Area 51 and Conspiracy Bot somehow got us involved in a Reptilian scheme to take over the world? Or that time we went to the Hollow Earth and stole a bunch of crap while also ending up in a ZORK world? Well, all good stories come to an end and that end is this week. Just who is pulling the strings? Will we sell that crap we stole? Why is British announcer guy so British??? All that and the return of Goforth (and Pecker) this week in Adventure 3!

This week on Blurry Hysteria, the bizarre meter is cranked up to 11 as we dive into some truly wild stories with special guest Kevin Crispin from Sad Times Podcast. First up, are Florida's sharks turning into apex party animals, gobbling up cocaine in the waters? Next, a Montana man is sentenced for selling giant sheep—yes, you read that right, GIANT CLONED HYBRIDIZED SHEEP! Finally, Queen Camilla is reportedly attacked by a bed-hopping ghost in what might be the royal family’s weirdest paranormal tale yet. But probably not...

Ever wondered what happens when you give our listeners a hotline and a little too much free time? Spoiler alert: absolute mayhem! This week on Hysteria 51, we dive headfirst into the wild, wacky, and wonderfully weird world of YOUR voicemails.

Join hosts Brent and David as they react, dissect, and try (and often fail) to keep a straight face. Will they offer sage advice? Highly unlikely. Will they make things worse? There's a good chance. But one thing's for sure: you'll laugh, you'll cringe, and you'll probably double-check your own voicemail before hitting send next time.

Time To Get Weird!

This week, we dive deep into the strange and unexplainable with two jaw-dropping stories. First, we explore the cosmic mystery of a deep-space radio signal that has traveled 8 billion years to reach Earth—what does this signal mean, and could it be a message from an ancient civilization, or just an old voivemail from Conspiracy Boy? Then, we delve into the eerie discovery of a state between life and death that has scientists questioning everything they know about mortality. Are we unlocking the secrets of the afterlife, or are we on the brink of a zombie apocalypse? Tune in for all the weirdness, wild theories, and dumb banter you've come to love from Hysteria 51!
