Show notes

David Flora Week Day 5! Holy crap we made it through a whole week of the mustachioed mad man, pre-hosting duties! And what better way to round out the week than a land deal going south that turns PARANORMAL. If we weren't cursed before we probably are now as we take shots at The Bell Witch. But why not join us in our torment, we have bot booze and snacks!!Original Description There you are, minding your own business in 1800's Tennessee when Boom, a land deal goes south and a witch curses your family for generations. We know what you're thinking, that old chestnut? Well, that's just the chestnut this week as we tackle the Bell Witch with the help of returning guest and mustachioed mad man David Flora. Can Kyle cook up a spell? Does ghostly banging count as ASMR? Do you call a priest or animal control if you spot Cerberus at your door? All that and more on the podcast that has never been cursed by a witch, but we are cursed with robots daily so we will call it a wash - Hysteria 51Special thanks to this week’s sources:BooksAn Authenticated History of the Famous Bell Witch | Martin V.

DAVID FLORA WEEK- The Mary Celeste | 314 Dec 15, 2022

Show notes

David Flora Week Day 4! Something, Something, Poop Deck! (We have to keep with the dick and fart jokes here on H51) Today we are once again back in 2019 to subject Flora to more bot boozed soaked shenanigans as we explore the infamous Ghost Ship- The Mary Celeste!

Original Description Imagine this: You and your crew are traversing the Atlantic aboard your merchant ship. You spot something up ahead and grab the spyglass. Is that another ship? You call to the ship announcing your presence…no response. Is there no one aboard? Where’s the crew? You board the ship and things are silent. It’s too quiet. Something isn’t sitting right about this situation. There’s a sewing machine with a baby’s dress being sewn…the hem is still mid-stitch. The log book’s last entry? 10 days ago. Where did the crew go? What would cause them to abandon ship so abruptly without any signs of duress? Did they leave the ship willingly? What happened to the Mary Celeste – we investigate this week. Plus, David Flora of Blurry Photos Podcast makes his triumphant return once again. Conspiracy Bot pivots his game plan for Bot Booze. Brent circles back around on how C-Bot is paying for it. And we all learn that poisonous, bad-tasting, and foul-smelling are table stakes for any product the robot creates. All of that and more on the podcast that’s never discovered a ghost ship, but took a Carnival Cruise once that was almost as scary – Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant - Raymond Walden IVBooksThe Mary Celeste: An Unsolved Mystery from History | Jane Yolen, Heidi E.

DAVID FLORA WEEK- Spring Heeled Jack: England’s Weirdest Paranormal Legend | 313 Dec 14, 2022

Show notes

David Flora Week Day 3! This time we go back to 2019 and let David flex his random accent muscles a plenty as we talk Spring-Heeled Jack. If you are into gropey, fire belching leapers with a total disregard for stagecoach safety then you are in luck!

Original DescriptionThis week we hop BACK over the pond to merry ol’ England to tackle a most vile and sinister serial…slapper? Well – slapper, groper, fire belcher, carriage crasher, and more. This week we’re looking into the legend of Spring Heeled Jack. This mischievous prankster allegedly had metal claws, could leap over 10 ft. walls, breath blue fire, apparently loved to slap authority figures, and cause carriages to crash. But who was this British bouncer? Is this just a folk tale re-told over the years to explain away hundreds of different events, was there a person of extraordinary ability terrorizing the countryside, or were these just a series of glorified fraternity pranks? David Flora of the Blurry Photos podcast joins the fun to help us uncover the identity of Britain’s strangest urban legend. Plus, Conspiracy Bot tries to get rid of Flora (he’s protective of BRENT’S beer), the fellas all try their hands at a British accent and fail miserably (shocking), and a related ghost in Long Island sounds eerily similar to Keanu Reeves (whoa). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never terrified women by blowing fire into their face, we do it the old fashioned way, by letting them see our work ethic and bank account – Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s sources:BooksThe Legend of Spring-Heeled Jack | Karl BellThe Mystery of Spring-Heeled Jack: From Victorian Legend to Steampunk Hero | John MatthewsVideosThe Mystery Of Spring Heeled Jack – https://bit.ly/2Wpxk4ZCryptids and Monsters: The Spring-Heeled Jack – https://bit.ly/2FyRO4HWebsitesWikipedia – https://bit.ly/1rPK59yAtlas Obscura – https://bit.ly/2JAEkJOHistoric UK – https://bit.ly/2JJTGNdBBC – https://bbc.in/2p6amzNMysterious Universe – https://bit.ly/2uwobvABlurry Photos – http://www.blurryphotos.org

DAVID FLORA WEEK- The Phoenix Lights: Mass UFO Sighting or Mass Hysteria? | 312 Dec 13, 2022

Show notes

David Flora Week Day 2! This time we go back to David's first time on H51 back in 2018. He brought his Legos and his Phoenician (I hate that word) knowledge as we talked the triangle craft mystery that still gets people worked up, The Phoenix Lights!

Original DescriptionIf one guy says he saw a UFO - it's easy to dismiss. But what do you do when over 10,000 people in one state say they did? That's exactly what happened March 13th, 1997 throughout Arizona. They all describe something very similar too: several lights arranged in a triangular pattern slowly moving overhead. Was it a visit from E.T.? A top secret military project? Or swamp gas bouncing off a weather balloon coupled with flares and whatever else they can come up with? The H-51 I-Team investigates this week with the help of David Flora from the Blurry Photos Podcast! That's right - a odd pod crossover event right here in the lower 4th dimension! Plus, Conspiracy Bot orders a vial of The Rock's sweat (it made sense to him). We learn more about Goforth in the 90's than we ever wanted to know (two words: frosted tips). And we discover the real reason the Titanic sank (it might involve a demon). All that and more on the podcast that doesn’t believe EVERY conspiracy from 1997, but we KNOW there was more room on that door ROSE! Hysteria 51.

DAVID FLORA WEEK- John Titor: Time Traveler or Internet Troll? | 311 Dec 12, 2022

Show notes

It's David Flora Week here on Hysteria 51. This week we are looking back at some of our favorite of David's guest appearances on the show before he took over co-hosting duties. And what better way to kick off a week of of looking back in time than with a time travel episode... Yup, John Titor!!!

Original DescriptionIf time travel is possible and future humans are coming back to our era...what would they want? To kill a future despot? To make a change to the environment that saves future generations? To take back a computer from 1975 to make their time machine work properly? If you're anything like the subject of this week's show, John Titor, you went with door #3. According to his posts on the internet, John Titor traveled back to the 70s to get a special computer to save time travel. He also made a pit stop along the way in the early 00's to live with his family (and 2 year old self) and presumably post snotty messages on inane internet forums (not stand-up forums like Hysteria Nation). Sound crazy? That's the most normal part of this story. This week we do our best Sam Beckett and try to fix what went wrong with the OG Chrononaut - John Titor. Plus, John and Brent ponder the existential perils of time travel (not really - just looking for ways to make money on it). Conspiracy bot ponders the existential perils of time travel (not really - just looking for other ways to kill John and Brent). And David Flora of Blurry Photos is back in the lower 4th (he just wants to time travel to a time before he met Conspiracy Bot). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t have time travel capabilities, but if we did, we’d do things to improve humanity…and make an insane amount of money – Hysteria 51.Time Travel / John Titor songs referenced in the show:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z6ppzwikfc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz_uGrpgPBQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxaTHTisUvg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmvBi2NOO3E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHl4GnwFv20

The Silent Twins: Separating Fact from Fiction | 310 Dec 07, 2022

Show notes

Kids are creepy. It just comes with the territory. But everyone once in a while there are kids that do stuff that defies logic and even their own well being. Case in point The Silent Twins, Jennifer and June Gibbons who spent their childhoods and most of their adult lives locked in silence, only speaking to one another and shutting the world out. Then came the crimes. Theft. Fighting. Arson. So, institutionalism it was. And their lives got weirder and weirder until one died under very odd circumstances. We talk their lives, one's tragic death, and what it is like being locked in a silent life. That's all this week on Hysteria 51

Blurry Hysteria: Cocaine Bear aka Pablo EscoBear Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

Cocaine Bear... Pablo Escobear... THE Apex Predator.... Whatever your want to call it, it is the number one story as far as most people sending in the same topic. Therefore, here it is in all it's glory before the Ray Liotta movie masterpiece drops in 2023. We talk the crazy true story of Winnie the Pooh's cokehead cousin and how he got that name, how Waylon Jennings was involved, and where you can see him yourself while probably sampling some fine fudge based products. So strap in and maybe skip the blow as we tell you the story of Cocaine Bear this week on Hysteria 51
