Hysteria 51

Could we all be sliding through space and time, switching dimensions like yesterday’s underwear? Or, could we just have really bad memories?! We get to the bottom of it this week as we dive into the Mandela Effect. How is it possible, that collectively, we all remember movies that didn’t exist, song lyrics that were never written, and even monocles that were never worn? Plus, R2D2 makes an appearance, we meet Conspiracy Bot’s arch nemesis (1 guess), and an 80s hair band creates our new segment bumper.

This week’s show is the inaugural edition of H51 “Up All Night”. No set topic or agenda – just your favorite hosts (and Brent) bantering about all things conspiracy theory, mystery, unusual, and unexplained. Plus, is the Mothman actually just a drone? Is disclosure imminent (no, not the Michael Douglas movie)? And is this actually Joe Peck’s last appearance on the show?

All around the world mysterious circles, patterns, and shapes have appeared in farmer’s crops for decades, if not centuries. But what are they? Could alien life be communicating with us? Does the Earth hold untold mysteries that create the phenomena in the fields? Or, are there just a bunch of jerks out there that like stomping down the crops of these poor farmers? Plus, are aliens actually just searching for the Beatles? Is the Church of the Dude an actual church? And another edition of British Announcer Guy and Conspiracy Bot (now formally called Bag & Bot!). All of that and more on the podcast that is available to do weddings – Hysteria 51. Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jack the Ripper and H.H. Holmes are two of the most prolific Gilded Age serial killers. The former terrorizing prostitutes in London while the latter killed unsuspecting Chicago women fresh off the train. But what if it was actually the same man? What if H.H. Holmes traveled the Atlantic in the late summer of 1888 to satiate his bloodlust. Hey, everyone needs a vacation. This week we dive into the similarities between the two and examine the possibility that Holmes WAS The Ripper. Plus, can a majestic mustache actually hypnotize you? Weighing the pros and cons of traveling with children vs murder. And Conspiracy Bot finally jumps the shark on our intros. All of that and more on the podcast that is SURE of one thing and that’s that John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald were definitively the same man – Hysteria 51.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lots of ships out there claim to be haunted, but not many can claim over 150 ghosts! This week’s topic does just that. The RMS Queen Mary was an active ship for over 30 years before being turned into a hotel in the LBC (that’s Long Beach, California for those of you low on street cred). We dive in to history and mystery behind these ghouls. Where did they come from? Why are they angry? If you’re a second class ghost why wouldn’t you move to first class (you can literally walk through walls)? We also ask the questions that other podcasts are afraid to ask. How does a chef get cooked in his own oven? What does a spirit nicknamed “Half Hatch Harry” have to do with Austin Powers? Are proton packs the best line of defense against spirits? Plus, Conspiracy Bot answers an email…sort of, we go over the pros and cons of gingerbread as building material, and the fellas discuss Bob Hope’s frontier days. All of that and more on the podcast that wishes it was always on a haunted boat – Hysteria 51.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Imagine this Zillow listing: This charming and spacious 3 floor hotel has been lovingly maintained by the original owner for years! Interestingly angled, narrow corridors with…mood lighting. Dead ends and generous stairways that lead nowhere but are nonetheless magical. Many rooms are lined with asbestos-coated steel plates, completely soundproofed, and equipped with special peepholes…some even come with open gas pipes! The second story also features trapdoors, secret passageways, and large greased shafts leading directly to the cellar. The cellar has all the charm of a medieval doctor’s office complete with acid tank, quicklime vats, a dissection table, and an “elasticity determinator” that can stretch guests to twice their normal height. Human body sized furnace in the cellar for those cold Chicago nights. Seller willing to leave all! This was the hotel that America’s first serial killer, HH Holmes built on the south side of Chicago. Holmes and his “murder castle” are thought by some to have been responsible for the deaths of over 200 people during the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. We dive in to the man, the myth, and the castle. Plus, we examine what it takes to create a race of giants, the absolute perfection of a late 1800s mustache, and Conspiracy Bot starts creating his own glitches in the Matrix. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never been to a “murder castle”, but has seen some pretty gnarly things at a Medieval Times – Hysteria 51.To read more from today’s expert Adam Selzer, you can find his newest book on Holmes here – https://bit.ly/32QSuf6Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is reality real? Or could we be living in a computer simulation? Simulation theory proponents (from Elon Musk to Neil DeGrasse Tyson) claim that we are living in a Simulated Reality and are blissfully unaware. But what does that mean? Are we just a bad version of the Sims on some 14 year old’s computer in the future? Or, could this just be the next step in our understanding of the universe – a place where science and religion could one day meet? Spoiler alert, we don’t know but we drink and argue about it nonetheless. Plus, the best ways to lose weight in a simulation, Conspiracy Bot is weaponized, and a special tribute to the late and great Alan Thicke (show us that smile again!). All of that and more on the show that knows there is no spoon, and THAT, that’s why we always grab a fork – Hysteria 51.Special thanks to The Simulation Hypothesis from Fair Wind Films.

Ah, the old west. It was a simpler time. Horse drawn carriages, local general stores, barn raising, consumption, etc. Ya know…simple. That is until a cigar shaped UFO crashes into your windmill and then crushes the petunias. That’s what supposedly happened in the quaint Texas hamlet of Aurora. Were UFOs really visiting 1897 Texas? Did they really find an alien body in the wreckage. Did they really give it a Christian burial? If so, what denomination was said deceased E.T. These and more burning questions answered this week on the show. Plus, British Announcer Guy and Conspiracy Bot start a podcast, what to do when aliens give you arthritis, and are people with 2 first names credible witnesses? All of that and more on the show whose exes don’t all live in Texas, but most of our arrest warrants do – Hysteria 51.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
