Xmas Throwback - Krampus | BONUS Dec 27, 2023

Show notes

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and you know what that means. Stockings, snowmen, hot chocolate, nativity scenes, gingerbread men, horned goat half demons that will drag children to hell. That’s right, to go right along with Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick, there’s a more sinister Christmas character lurking beneath the shadows. Krampus – the Christmas Demon! Santa might bring gifts for good little girls and boys – Krampus doesn’t. The hairy beast hits bad kids with sticks and sometimes even throws them in his sack to take back to hell. This week we fire up the Hysteria Sleigh and explore the legend. Plus, are non-Christmas Christmas movies actually Christmas movies (trust us, it’ll make sense)? Conspiracy Bot does his best Clark Griswold. And the fellas exchange Christmas gifts (just be glad they didn’t buy for you). So throw another yule log on the fire, grab a glass of eggnog and cozy up for one hell of a Christmas tradition as we celebrate the holidays the only way we know how on the podcast that doesn’t always do a holiday episode, but when it does…does it right – Hysteria 51.

Jig of the Damned: The Dancing Plague of 1518 | 358 Dec 20, 2023

Show notes

This week on Hysteria 51, we're time-traveling back to 1518, and trust us, it's not for the mead or the minstrels! We're diving feet first into one of history's most baffling mysteries – the Dancing Plague of 1518. Imagine this: one day, you're baking bread, and the next, you're busting moves in the streets of Strasbourg without a stop button!

Join us as we shimmy through the theories – from mass hysteria to ergot-fueled rye parties, and even a supernatural dance-off. Was it a curse from St. Vitus? A case of medieval Footloose? Or perhaps, an elaborate 16th-century flash mob gone incredibly wrong?

We'll explore the eerie, the bizarre, and the (unintentionally) hilarious side of this historical head-scratcher. Did the authorities try to cure it with more dancing? Spoiler alert: Yes, they did, and let's just say, their problem-solving skills were... unique.

Blurry Hysteria: Thylacine's Genetic Secrets & Signs of Extraterrestrial Life | BONUS Nov 29, 2023

Show notes

This week in Weird News it is two groundbreaking stories at the frontiers of science and the unknown. First, join us as we explore a scientific marvel – the recovery of RNA from the extinct Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian Tiger. What does this groundbreaking achievement mean for our understanding of life and extinction? Then, we journey beyond our planet to examine a tantalizing discovery that could redefine our search for extraterrestrial life. Scientists have detected a molecule, dimethyl sulphide (DMS), on a distant world – a molecule that, on Earth, is only produced by living organisms. Could this be the first real evidence of life beyond Earth? Tune in to "Blurry Hysteria" for a deep dive into these fascinating stories, where the lines between science, mystery, and the potential for life's existence in various forms blur intriguingly.

Ghosts, Gaffes, and Gunshots: The Spooky Saga of the Hammersmith Ghost Murder | 356 Nov 15, 2023

Show notes

We're taking a wild journey back in time to the eerie streets of Hammersmith, England in 1803. In this hair-raising episode of Hysteria 51, we're diving deep into the bizarre and ghostly world of the Hammersmith Ghost and the infamous murder it spawned.

Picture this: A small English suburb, a dark winter's night, and a spectral figure dressed in a bedsheet that could use a good ironing. That's right, the Hammersmith Ghost had the locals trembling in their cravats and corsets. But was it a malevolent spirit or just a mischievous prankster who couldn't resist the allure of a good old-fashioned ghost story?

Join us as we recount the spine-tingling sightings, the hilariously misguided vigilantes, and the shocking twist that turned a spooky legend into a courtroom drama for the ages. We'll also explore the aftermath of the Hammersmith Ghost case, including the bizarre legacy it left behind.

Get ready to laugh, gasp, and question your belief in the supernatural as we uncover the ghostly gaffes and gunshots that made Hammersmith the talk of the town. Tune in for another hilarious and historical episode of Hysteria 51, where the ghosts are funny, but the real frights come from the human follies that haunt the annals of history. Don't miss it!
